Re Stephen Richard Luckins Ex Parte Columbia Pictures Industries Inc & Anor [1996] FCA 567
The bankruptcy notice was invalid because it failed to specify a place for payment within Australia and did not nominate an agent within Australia authorized to receive payment; the mere presence of international payment methods does not alter the legal requirement or debtor's obligation.
