Ex TEMPORE REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

JUDGE STREET

  1. These are bankruptcy proceedings commenced on 24 July 2024 by the applicant trustee (“applicant”) in respect of which there was no application to set aside the notice under s 139ZS of the Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cth) and should because of the interests of the creditors be dealt with reasonably expeditiously. The Court has also taken into account s 190 of the Federal Circuit and Family Court Australia Act 2021 (Cth). 

  2. The Court has fixed a final hearing date and expects any representatives on behalf of the respondent to agree to a proposed timetable with the applicant that will facilitate that hearing date.

  3. The Court also notes that if there is a failure to appear on 27 September 2024 by the respondent, being the third occasion that this matter has been stood over, the Court may proceed to determine the matter applying r 13.04 and  r 13.05(2)(d) of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 2) (General Federal Law) Rules 2021 (Cth) .

  4. It is for these reasons the Court makes the above orders.

I certify that the preceding four (4) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment of Judge Street.
