Section 12 leave was granted: retrospective section 12 leave treats the proceedings and resulting judgments as if properly commenced/continued, thereby validating and rectifying those judgments; the Court of First Instance in its bankruptcy jurisdiction is the proper forum to grant such leave; concerns about prejudice to creditors were unfounded on the facts (no surplus in the estate and enforcement against the estate barred without further leave).
