Liquidator, S Pty Ltd and Rand and Ors (No 3)

In the proceedings before Cohen J, the parties involved were the Liquidator of S Pty Ltd (In Liquidation), C Pty Ltd, and the Rands. The dispute concerned two claims: the "Guarantee Claim" initiated by S Pty Ltd (In Liquidation) on 23 April 2010, and the "DOCA Claim" initiated by C Pty Ltd on 21 July 2009.

The court was required to determine a timetable for the further conduct of these actions, including deadlines for amended responses, points of claim, and the filing and service of affidavits. Additionally, the court considered the reservation of costs and the granting of leave to issue subpoenas to various individuals and entities, including Mr WJ, KPMG, Mr TE, Mr MA, and the National Australia Bank, for both the Liquidator and C Pty Ltd/the Rands.

Cohen J ordered a specific timetable for the progression of the Guarantee Claim and the DOCA Claim, setting dates for amended pleadings, affidavit evidence, and a directions hearing. The court also reserved the costs of the proceedings involving the Liquidator, C Pty Ltd, and the Rands to be determined by a judge other than Justice Cohen, pending a decision from the Full Court on jurisdiction. Furthermore, leave was granted to C Pty Ltd and/or the Rands to issue subpoenas to Mr WJ, KPMG, Mr TE, Mr MA, and the National Australia Bank, and to the Liquidator to issue a subpoena to the National Australia Bank.
