AMC and ALQ v NSW Trustee and Guardian [2012] NSWADT 217

AMC and ALQ v NSW Trustee and Guardian [2012] NSWADT 217

The application for a stay was denied as the evidence did not justify late interference with the auction decision, especially given the demonstrated buyer interest and market activity. The applicants' concerns about marketing and presentation were acknowledged, but the proximity of the auction date, the NSW Trustee's discretion, and current market activity outweighed those concerns.
