Can someone clarify for me .......

When a company like Ansett ceases to operate is it a year after the collapse of the company before you can re-use the name (or purchase) and not be liable for the previous debt?

If this is the case then one would assume that if SIA enters the Aussie market and was to use either part of the Ansett Branding or the whole kit and caboodle then they would need to wait until April. Which is when a start up has been rumoured. The FF survey they completed included a question about the re-use of the Ansett name.

I am not suggesting they will use the Ansett name but is this the case in a business collapse?
