Re Edelsten, G.W.

This case involved Full Point Pty Limited as the creditor seeking a sequestration order against Geoffrey Walter Edelsten, the debtor, in the Federal Court of Australia. The matter was heard concurrently with an application by the Deputy Commissioner of Taxation to annul Edelsten's bankruptcy. The creditor's application was not contested by any evidence or argument, and was supported by the usual forms of proof. The court was required to determine whether the debtor had committed an act of bankruptcy, as alleged in the petition, and whether the creditor had provided sufficient proof of the matters required by section 52(1) of the Bankruptcy Act 1966.

The court found that the debtor had indeed committed an act of bankruptcy, as alleged in the petition. The court was satisfied with the proof of the other matters required by section 52(1) of the Bankruptcy Act 1966. The court also noted that May Christopher Donnelly, a registered trustee, had consented to act as trustee of the debtor's estate. The court made a sequestration order against the debtor's estate and directed that costs be taxed and paid according to the Act. The court also directed that a draft of the orders be delivered to the Registrar within seven days.
