The appeal was dismissed because once a bankruptcy order is made the creditor's personal enforcement rights cease (s12(1) BO), the attendance requirement in the bankruptcy order is merely a statutory notice (r72A(3)) not an order enforceable under s21B, and permitting a prohibition order in these circumstances would improperly allow a creditor to bypass the trustee and upset the bankruptcy regime; accordingly s21B cannot be used to compel attendance at the Official Receiver's office by the judgment creditor.
