Sub Rosa Holdings Pty Ltd v Salsa Sudada Production Pty Ltd [2006] NSWSC 916

Sub Rosa Holdings Pty Ltd v Salsa Sudada Production Pty Ltd [2006] NSWSC 916

Leave was granted to the plaintiffs under s.237 of the Corporations Act to bring, on behalf of Salsa Sudada Production Pty Ltd, proceedings in respect of certain claims as all s.237 criteria (including serious question to be tried) were satisfied and there was no opposition, with costs of pursuing such claims to be borne by the plaintiffs. Interlocutory injunctive relief sought to restrain appointment of a receiver or regulate the conduct of provisional liquidators was refused as the balance of convenience did not favour such orders and no serious question was shown regarding the conduct of provisional liquidators.
