Turner & Anor v Universal Home Loans Pty Ltd & Ors [2004] NSWSC 936

Turner & Anor v Universal Home Loans Pty Ltd & Ors [2004] NSWSC 936

The Plaintiffs failed to show a sufficient danger of dissipation of assets by the Defendants to warrant continuation of the Mareva injunctions. There was no evidence of dishonest intent to render the Defendants judgment-proof, and the asset transfer was plausibly explained as general asset protection, not an intent to defeat the Plaintiffs' claims.
