CaseChat Overview and Summary
The parties involved were Vlymen and Lever Solomon Ltd. The dispute concerned an application to set aside a bankruptcy notice. The matter came before Registrar Chuan Ng.
The primary legal issue before the Court was the question of costs, following the setting aside of the underlying judgment debt by the Solomon Islands Court of Appeal.
Registrar Chuan Ng determined that given the bankruptcy notice was predicated on a judgment that was subsequently set aside, the application to set aside the notice should be dismissed. The Court then considered the appropriate orders for costs in light of this outcome.
The Court ordered that Lever Solomon Ltd pay Vlymen's costs of the application, to be summarily assessed.
