Procedural Posture

Bankruptcy Petition Appeal / Appeal (hearing and Judgment)

  1. 1 Whether the debtor raised a legally effective defence to the bankruptcy petition

  3. 3 Whether the debtor may adduce new evidence on appeal under the Ladd v Marshall test

Ratio Decidendi

The appellate court upheld the bankruptcy order because the debtor failed to raise an effective defence: she did not commence any counterclaim, offered new evidence that was not before the trial judge and failed to meet Ladd v Marshall, and there was no legal error in the trial judge's exercise of discretion or in the procedures surrounding the sale of the charged property; accordingly the appeal was dismissed and costs were awarded to the applicant.
