Deputy Commissioner of Taxation v Triaswara [2022] FCA 1446

The First Respondent had no reasonable prospect of successfully defending the proceeding, as the statutory tax debts had not been objected to and were conclusively proven for recovery purposes. Asset disclosure and ancillary orders were warranted to ensure enforcement, given the respondents’ conduct and the risk of asset dissipation.
