In the matter of Aquaqueen International Pty Limited (No 2) [2014] NSWSC 947

Aquaqueen identified no relevant misapprehension of law or fact and no other defect in the 30 April 2014 judgment. The matters raised were irrelevant to substitution, had been addressed previously, or did not presently affect the substituted plaintiffs' entitlement to proceed. There was therefore no ground to reopen the judgment under r 36.16.

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the judgment and orders of 30 April 2014 should be stayed or set aside under Uniform Civil Procedure Rules, r 36.16(3)(a).'

'Whether the substituted plaintiffs lacked standing because they had no judgment or s 459G demand of their own.'

'Whether insolvency was a matter to be determined on the substitution application.']
