Shields, Isaac John Mackay v The Official Receiver in Bankruptcy & Anor [1996] FCA 441

The appeal was incompetent because, after abandoning the appeal concerning his own section 77A notice and section 81 examination matter, the appellant had no legal or other relevant interest in the remaining questions concerning entry onto the bankrupts' property and the Nissan Patrol station wagon; his asserted mortgagee, trust-related, or creditor status did not give him standing to challenge those decisions.
