It was just and equitable to extend time under s 293 because the registration defects resulted from inadvertent errors, registrations were initially made within the 15 business day period albeit inaccurately, affected parties were served and none appeared to assert prejudice, anyone searching the PPSR would have seen that an interest existed in the vehicles, and the administration of Brigam Road Tank Haulage Pty Limited postdated the corrected registration and did not obstruct the orders.
