Kation Pty Ltd v Lamru Pty Ltd (No 3) [2012] NSWSC 1105

Kation Pty Ltd v Lamru Pty Ltd (No 3) [2012] NSWSC 1105

The agreement between Lamru and Kation entitles Lamru to recover directly from Kation the amount of over-lending with interest, as the prior fixing of loan account balances does not preclude such recovery after Nortex's liquidation. The adjustment was not limited to being made only through loan accounts; direct payment is available when those accounts can no longer be used.
