ANABROOK PTY LIMITED v RAWSON [1999] NSWCA 271

Leave to appeal was refused because the Court was not persuaded that Justice Einstein's judgment demonstrated any error; his orders were a sensible and convenient method of dealing with litigation that had been inactive for years, and the company's cessation of trading meant the opponent's just and equitable winding-up ground appeared available on simple evidence.
