    The petition was dismissed because the debtor demonstrated a reasonable and arguable defence: there is a genuine dispute over the correct definition and calculation period for the renewal rate (notably whether the relevant months include a period before the contract's effective date of 1 October 2021), and whether certain policies should be included; combined with contested service of the termination letter, these facts constitute a substantial and bona fide defence to the petition, warranting dismissal and a provisional costs order in favour of the debtor.
