Badcock v Pirie Street Holdings Limited [2010] FCA 628
The appellant, as an undischarged bankrupt, had no entitlement to seek to set aside the sequestration order through the application before the Federal Magistrate; only an appeal from the original review dismissal was the proper course. The Federal Magistrate was correct in dismissing the application and refusing the orders sought due to lack of jurisdiction, lack of standing, and the orders being either vague or unavailable.
