Procedural Posture

Appeal Against Bankruptcy Order / Court of Appeal Judgment

  1. 1 Whether unpaid costs orders constitute a proper basis for a bankruptcy petition
  2. 2 Whether allegations of an illegal sale and conspiracy and asserted proprietary interests in ancestral land defeat a bankruptcy petition
  3. 3 Whether new evidence should be admitted on appeal under the Ladd v Marshall test

Ratio Decidendi

The appeal is dismissed because the debts claimed are established by final court costs orders and are enforceable; the debtor's allegations concerning an illegal sale, conspiracy and proprietary interests were previously finally determined or irrelevant (issue estoppel) and therefore do not constitute a defence to the bankruptcy petition; the proposed fresh evidence fails the Ladd v Marshall criteria and is inadmissible.

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed; application for leave to adduce new evidence refused; bankruptcy order upheld

Orders

  • Set aside (dismissed) the debtor's subpoena/application to adduce new evidence
  • Dismiss the debtor's appeal
