Rogers v Asset Loan Co Pty Ltd ACN 107 746 798 [2007] FCA 1660

The application is substantively identical to prior proceedings already determined and seeks to re-litigate the same facts and issues under the ASIC Act instead of the Trade Practices Act. This constitutes an abuse of process and, in any event, the application has no reasonable prospects of success. There is no valid counterclaim or set-off relating to the bankruptcy notice, as the alleged grounds have already been dismissed in prior proceedings.
