Kaye v Brailey [2004] FCA 101

Kaye v Brailey [2004] FCA 101

The application for interlocutory relief was dismissed because, following dismissal of the related extension of time application, there was no practical point in restraining Ms Brailey from voting against an adjournment for only two days; in any event the limited injunction was not fairly related to the claims pleaded, Mr Kaye had already responded to creditors, the relief was effectively final, there had been delay, and the order would affect creditors who were not parties or represented.
