TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicants seek special leave to appeal against orders of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland dismissing an application that two companies, of which the applicants were directors, have leave to appeal against an order made on the application of the respondent that both companies be wound up in insolvency.  The applicants had been given leave to be heard on the hearing of the application for winding up, but the order granting leave to be heard was treated in the courts below as not granting them leave to be heard on behalf of, and in the name of, the companies.

Because the applicants are unrepresented, the application for special leave falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Court of Appeal.

Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application. I publish that disposition.

AT 9.36 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
