Former All Black Andrew Mehrtens has signed a settlement agreement with a law firm in a bid to avoid bankruptcy.<\/p>\n
Saunders Robinson Brown had sought to bankrupt Mehrtens over an undisclosed debt.<\/p>\n
At a Christchurch High Court hearing on Thursday, the court heard Mehrtens signed a settlement agreement minutes before the matter was called.<\/p>\n
The firm was yet to sign the document.<\/p>\n
Associate Judge Dale Lester adjourned the case until August, when the bankruptcy application was expected to be withdrawn.<\/p>\n
Mehrtens was considered one of the most influential first five-eighths in New Zealand rugby history.<\/p>\n
He played 70 Tests between 1995 and 2004, scoring 994 points for the All Blacks in all matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former All Black Andrew Mehrtens has signed a settlement agreement with a law firm in a bid to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":551456,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":["post-551455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551455"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551455\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/551456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551455"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=551455"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=551455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
