Nugawela v Commonwealth Bank of Australia [2018] FCA 960

Nugawela v Commonwealth Bank of Australia [2018] FCA 960

The application was dismissed because the Property Seizure and Delivery Order for the Hazelbury Street Property had been withdrawn and the order for the Coolibah Drive Property had already been executed, leaving no basis for the injunctive relief sought. In any event, the material did not disclose reasonable prospects of success or a proper basis for Federal Court intervention in execution under Supreme Court of Western Australia orders.
