Robin Lehner appeals bankruptcy ruling with document containing four main points

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner, who isn't playing this season due to an injury, has decided to officially appeal a ruling in Sweden that declared him bankrupt after he failed to pay a debt owed by an organization that he guaranteed a loan for. In a document filed by his lawyer, Lehner asks for the bankruptcy ruling to be overturned on four main points:

1) Swedish jurisdiction does not exist as Robin Lehner does not have his main interests in Sweden.

2) Nacka district court does not have jurisdiction to hear the bankruptcy petition as the NHL player has not entered into the agreement in the municipality.

3) Lehner was not properly served with the bankruptcy petition or the summons to a bankruptcy hearing. It is therefore submitted that the decision of the district court constitutes a gross procedural error. In particular, he was not provided with information by separate letter.

4) Lehner is not insolvent, which means that he has assets/salaries which enable him to cover the debt.

It came to light earlier this week that Nacka District Court in Sweden had granted a motion to declare Lehner bankrupt. The declaration was requested by the creditor of an organization that had gone bankrupt after Lehner agreed to act as a guarantor on a loan for that organization. His lawyer had vowed to appeal the decision, and it didn't take long for that to happen. The creditor said it asked for the declaration in order to compel Lehner to pay the loan.

The Court of Appeal will now review Lehner's submission and make a ruling on the bankruptcy declaration.
