Lion Finance Pty Ltd v Johnston

Lion Finance Pty Ltd sought a review of a decision made by the Registrar in Bankruptcy. The application for review was filed outside the prescribed time limit.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant an extension of time for Lion Finance Pty Ltd to file its application for review. This required the court to consider the merits of the proposed review and the reasons for the delay.

Judge Middleton found that the application for review was entirely without merit. Consequently, the court dismissed the application for review and ordered Lion Finance Pty Ltd to pay the costs of the proceedings.
