Because the company was solvent on the evidence and the proposed payments were prima facie in the interests of the company and in the ordinary course of business, the court exercised its discretion to vary the validation order to permit payment of the special bonus, profits tax and contractual year‑end bonuses; the petitioner remains free to challenge the payments later if they are shown not to be in the ordinary course or to be an abuse of power.
