LTX Holdings Pty Limited v Solution4 Software Pty Limited [2011] NSWSC 1030

LTX Holdings Pty Limited v Solution4 Software Pty Limited [2011] NSWSC 1030

The Court refused the adjournment because any viable deed of company arrangement could still be pursued through a liquidator or provisional liquidator. Given the admission of insolvency, and evidence that the defendant's business had been transferred and it was a shell with debts, the Court considered a final winding-up order appropriate and dispensed with unmet advertising and procedural requirements.
