Procedural Posture

Application for Leave to Appeal / Application for Leave to Appeal From Decision Setting Aside a Statutory Demand

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether leave to appeal should be granted from a decision setting aside a statutory demand pursuant to s 459H of the Corporations Act.' 'Whether the primary judge sufficiently inquired into whether there was a genuine dispute as to the existence of the debt relied on in the statutory demand.']

Ratio Decidendi

Leave to appeal was refused because the primary judge had adequately considered whether there was a genuine dispute. Evidence from the company's director that the company first had notice of the purported assignment on 22 March 2010 provided evidence that notice had not been received earlier, while contrary evidence that notice had been posted earlier raised a factual dispute suitable for a full hearing. The proposed challenge did not have sufficient prospects of success to justify leave.

Court Disposition

Application for leave to appeal dismissed with costs.
