CON TSEKOURAS
v
PETER OLSEN
[2008] HCASL 234
S582/2007
The applicant was made bankrupt in 2000. The Official Trustee in Bankruptcy was appointed as trustee. The respondent, as an officer employed by the Insolvency & Trustee Service Australia, managed most of the business of the Official Trustee relating to the bankruptcy of the applicant. The bankruptcy was annulled on 21 August 2003 on the payment in full of debts owed by the applicant. The applicant then brought a number of proceedings in relation to his bankruptcy.
The applicant sought relief against the respondent in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. On the application of the respondent, Bryson AJ summarily dismissed the applicant's summons on 5 June 2007 and declared the applicant a vexatious litigant pursuant to s 84(2) of the Supreme Court Act 1970 (NSW).
The Court of Appeal refused leave to appeal on 8 November 2007. The applicant had not demonstrated any error in the judgment of Bryson AJ, dismissing the proceedings brought by the applicant, and the Court was unable to discern any.
The application to this Court is entirely devoted to complaints about the administration of the bankruptcy and does not address the judgment below. No question of law is raised and no reason has been advanced to doubt the correctness of the decisions below.
Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
