The Liquidator, S Pty Limited and Rand and Ors

The proceeding involved S Pty Limited (in liquidation), represented by its liquidator, and several respondents, including the Third, Fourth, and Eleventh Respondents. The dispute concerned applications made by the respondents, including applications for security for costs, and the liquidator's claim against the Third and Fourth Respondents. The matter was heard by Justice Cohen.

The court was required to determine whether to dismiss the respondents' applications, including their applications for security for costs. Additionally, the court had to consider the consequences of the Third and Fourth Respondents' failure to file their defence to the liquidator's claim and the Eleventh Respondent's failure to file its points of claim.

Justice Cohen dismissed the applications made by the Third and Fourth Respondents on 21 June 2010, and the application made by the Eleventh Respondent on the same date. The court also dismissed the Third and Fourth Respondents' subsequent application for security for costs. The court ordered that if the Third and Fourth Respondents failed to file and serve their points of defence within 21 days, judgment would be entered for S Pty Limited (in liquidation) in the sum of $693,114.11, plus interest. Similarly, if the Eleventh Respondent failed to file its points of claim within 21 days, its application would be dismissed. Costs were reserved, and the matter was stood over for further directions.
