In the matter of Wan Ze Property Development (Aust) Pty Ltd (No 2) [2012] NSWSC 821

The disputed qualifications proposed by the Defendants were rejected because the orders had to give effect to the findings in the primary judgment that the Company was entitled to monetary relief, property transfer orders, interest, winding up and appointment of a liquidator; enforcement decisions could be left to the liquidator after judgment, and the pending Federal Court winding up application did not justify withholding the orders.
