REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

Before the Court 1s a motion, notice of which was filed on 4 January 1994, for an order restraining Pegasus Leasing Limited from taking any steps, including the entry of default judgment, in certain proceedings instituted at the suit of that company in the Supreme Court of South Australia, the District Court of Adelaide and the Local Court of Adelaide (now the Magistrates Court of Adelaide). The motion is made in a proceeding, numbered ACT G 27 of 1992, pending in this Court.

The issues raised by the motion are similar to those raised in the motion made in the proceeding numbered ACT G 18 of 1992 pending in this Court and in relation to which judgment has been given this day.

For the reasons advanced in that judgment, the

motion is dismissed. The applicant must pay the costs of

Pegasus Leasing Limited of and incidental to the motion. I certify that this and the

CaseChat Overview and Summary

Cadoroll Pty Ltd filed a motion against Allegra Corporation Limited, Allegra Investments Limited, Mauntill Pty Limited, Pegasus Leasing Limited, and Farnham Sinclair & Associates, seeking an order to prevent Pegasus Leasing Limited from pursuing any steps in various proceedings in South Australian courts. This matter was heard in the Federal Court of Australia, General Division, in Canberra. The central issue before the court was whether to grant the motion to restrain Pegasus Leasing Limited from taking further actions in the South Australian courts.

The court examined the arguments and reasons given in a similar motion in another proceeding, numbered ACT G 18 of 1992. For the reasons stated in the earlier judgment, the court dismissed the motion. The applicants were ordered to pay the costs of Pegasus Leasing Limited, which arose from the motion.

In summary, the Federal Court dismissed the motion to restrain Pegasus Leasing Limited from proceeding with its actions in the South Australian courts. The applicants were required to cover the costs associated with the motion. This decision was rendered based on the precedent set in a similar case, ACT G 18 of 1992.
