Corporations – Application for Winding Up and Appointment of Provisional Liquidator / Interlocutory Application for Provisional Liquidator; Orders Stood Over Pending Clarification of Undertakings

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether a provisional liquidator should be appointed pending winding up proceedings' 'Whether there is jeopardy to company assets requiring protection' 'Adequacy of Mareva orders and undertakings to preserve status quo']

Orders

  • ['The interlocutory process for appointment of a provisional liquidator is stood over to Friday, 19 September 2003 for clarification of the nature of the defendants’ undertakings to the court.' 'Subject to satisfactory clarification, the process is to be dismissed with costs.']
