Jackgreen (International) Pty Ltd

The parties involved in the dispute were Jackgreen (International) Pty Ltd, a company, and receivers appointed out of court. The nature of the dispute centred around whether a sum payable to the company was within the charge held by the receivers' appointor, and if the receivers could be held personally liable for any liabilities incurred by the company. The case was heard in the Supreme Court of Queensland. The legal issues the court was required to decide were whether the receivers could be held personally liable for the company's liabilities, particularly under Queensland electricity legislation, and whether there was a demonstrated basis for finding actual or contingent liability of the receivers.

The court considered the receivers' lien in support of indemnity by the company, and the proposed retention by the receivers upon retirement. The court found that the receivers were not personally liable for the company's liabilities, and that there was no demonstrated basis for finding actual or contingent liability of the receivers. The court held that the receivers were not liable for any civil penalty orders that may be imposed on the company under the Queensland electricity legislation. The court also found that the receivers' lien in support of indemnity by the company did not amount to a personal liability of the receivers, and that the proposed retention by the receivers upon retirement was not a demonstrated basis for finding actual or contingent liability of the receivers.
