Clivpee Ltd (in administration), In the matter of [2010] NSWSC 1215

The applications were dismissed because nothing had been shown to warrant transfer of proceedings properly commenced in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The existence of nine appeals from receivers' decisions did not by itself show any real cost or time saving from transfer to Victoria, the applicants did not establish sufficiently aligned factual or legal issues, and there were no existing Victorian case management arrangements for Clivpee comparable to those that might justify transfer in a large insolvency.
