An arrest warrant has been issued for former glamour model Katie Price after she failed to attend a court hearing regarding her bankruptcy proceedings.
Katie Price, 46, was scheduled to appear at a bankruptcy court in London on Tuesday. She had previously been warned that her attendance was mandatory and that failure to appear could result in an arrest warrant being issued.
Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Catherine Burton confirmed the issuance of the warrant, emphasizing that Ms. Price had received “very clear warnings” about the necessity of attending the hearing. Judge Burton stated, “It is in my judgment necessary that the court issue a warrant for Ms. Price’s arrest. She has no real excuse in failing to attend today’s hearing. The reason for her absence today is irrelevant.”
The court hearing was related to Ms. Price’s ongoing bankruptcy case. She was declared bankrupt for the second time in March 2024 due to an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05, having first faced bankruptcy in 2019.
The absence of Ms Price from the scheduled hearing raises further concerns about her financial affairs and her commitment to resolving her bankruptcy issues. The court’s decision to issue an arrest warrant underscores the seriousness of her legal obligations and the potential consequences of non-compliance.
Katie Price has yet to publicly comment on the situation. The legal ramifications of the arrest warrant remain to be seen, as authorities now seek to enforce the court’s decision.
