Prentice v Constantinidis (No.3)

In *Prentice v Constantinidis (No.3)*, the Supreme Court of New South Wales considered an application by a bankrupt concerning a claim that had previously been decided adversely to him. The court also dealt with whether the trustee had complied with previous orders regarding the service of notice to occupiers.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether the bankrupt's application constituted an abuse of process by seeking to re-litigate a decided claim, and whether the trustee had fulfilled the requirements of prior court orders concerning service of notice to occupiers.

Judge Manousaridis found that the bankrupt's application was indeed an abuse of process, as it attempted to relitigate issues that had already been determined. The court also determined that the trustee had complied with the previous orders regarding the service of notice to occupiers. Consequently, the court dismissed the bankrupt's application and made orders for possession.
