Salfinger v Napiat Pty Ltd No 2 [2012] FCA 435

Although the appellant had not complied with the security for costs order, dismissal was not ordered because there was no evidence of significant prejudice to the respondent if the appeal hearing were delayed, the appeal hearing before the Full Court was imminent, and maintaining the hearing date was desirable particularly because the appeal concerned a sequestration order; the interlocutory application was therefore stood over to the Full Court.
