A date has been set for disgraced businessman Eric Watson's bankruptcy case to be called.

The liquidators of Watson’s company, Cullen Investments, have chased him for roughly $57.4 million, plus interest.

Auckland's High Court confirmed that the bankruptcy proceeding will be called on February 1, 2024.

BusinessDesk managing editor Pattrick Smellie says Watson's been staving off problems for over a decade.
