The petition was validly presented because the debtor was personally present in Hong Kong on presentation; the petitioner established proper authorisation by director affidavit so no cross-examination was necessary; the late and unproven offer to pay the petitioning debt under s6D(3) did not justify dismissal of the petition; the appropriate order was to adjourn with a conditional dismissal if the petitioning debt plus interest was paid by the adjourned date, otherwise a bankruptcy order should follow.
