Revroof Pty Ltd (receivers and managers appointed) (administrators appointed) v Taminga Street Investments Pty Ltd [2023] FCA 543

Revroof Pty Ltd (receivers and managers appointed) (administrators appointed) v Taminga Street Investments Pty Ltd [2023] FCA 543

The Court granted orders authorising the receivers to sell Revroof's assets subject to certain security interests under section 420B, gave directions regarding application of sale proceeds to secured creditors under section 424, and made a conditional order fixing the registration time under section 588FM, noting a lack of appellate authority but finding compelling the reasoning that section 588FL does not apply to post-critical time securities.
