GE Capital Mortgage Insurance Corporation (Australia) Pty Limited v Sokol; GE Capital Mortgage Insurance Corporation (Australia) Pty Limited v Boguch [2010] NSWSC 1444

GE Capital Mortgage Insurance Corporation (Australia) Pty Limited v Sokol; GE Capital Mortgage Insurance Corporation (Australia) Pty Limited v Boguch [2010] NSWSC 1444

Leave to proceed was granted because the originating process had been served on Mr Boguch in Russia, he had not appeared, and the cause of action arose in New South Wales in relation to the bond agreement, the issuing of the bond, and the debt. Genworth was entitled to judgment because DBA issued the new bond as Genworth's agent, Genworth paid the $74,000 to the vendor, and the prior indemnity formed part of the contractual arrangements for the second bond. The charge securing the indemnity supported Genworth's claim to the funds paid into Court, and the requirements in Avco were satisfied because Genworth had a valid claim and potential claimants had been notified.
