The petitioners were entitled to a usual bankruptcy order because the debtor failed to file the mandatory Notice under rule 68 and therefore the petition could be treated as uncontested, the matters raised had been finally determined in earlier proceedings and were barred by res judicata/issue estoppel (Turner principle), service of the petition on the debtor on 25 July 2025 complied with statutory service rules, and the alleged material change of circumstances was speculative and insufficient to justify reopening or adjournment.
