Belmont Sportsmans Club Co-operative Limited & Ors [2018] NSWSC 2

The Court has no power to appoint voluntary administrators to the First Plaintiff under s 41 of the Registered Clubs Act 1976 (NSW) or otherwise, as s 41 acts as a restriction on appointment rather than conferring a standalone judicial power; appointments must be made by the mechanisms specified in the Corporations Act (as applied) and approved by the Authority, not by direct Court order.
