In the Federal Court of Australia, the liquidators of Royal National Capital Alliance Ltd applied for the appointment of receivers over the assets of a trust held by the company. The application was opposed by the beneficiaries of the trust. The court was required to decide whether it was just and convenient to appoint receivers in this case. The court considered the rights of the beneficiaries, the nature of the trust assets, and the potential impact on the trust and its beneficiaries if receivers were appointed. The court ultimately determined that appointing receivers was not just and convenient in this case, and the application was adjourned with no orders made.
