75 Port Douglas Road Pty Ltd v Keystone Asset Management Ltd (receivers and managers appointed) (administrators appointed) [2024] FCA 1269

Port Douglas failed to establish a prima facie case that the notices of default were defective for not specifying the amount owing, as the notices relied on non-monetary events of default and reserved the right to appoint a receiver regardless of specifying an amount. Consequently, the application for interlocutory injunction was dismissed.
