Deputy Commissioner of Taxation v Tilli

The Deputy Commissioner of Taxation (the Commissioner) sought to review a sequestration order made against Mr. Tilli. The dispute concerned whether the sequestration order should have been made, and whether there was a proper basis for an adjournment of the original hearing. The matter came before Judge Street.

The primary legal issues before the Court were whether the sequestration order against Mr. Tilli ought not to have been made, and whether the circumstances warranted an adjournment of the proceedings.

Judge Street affirmed the sequestration order. The Court found that there was no proper basis for an adjournment of the original hearing, and that the sequestration order was appropriately made. The Court's reasoning focused on the lack of sufficient grounds presented by Mr. Tilli to justify delaying or preventing the sequestration.
