    The court granted the bankruptcy order because the debt founded on a final judgment remained unpaid above the statutory minimum after set‑offs, the amended petition was valid notwithstanding differences in claimed amounts, the debtor failed to show reasonable cause to adjourn or stay the petition, an out‑of‑time appeal did not stay enforcement, and consolidation was not justified.

    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP70/1972

    A short extension of time to serve and file the notice of appeal was granted despite delay caused by awaiting a Legal Aid Certificate because fairness to the applicant and the token resistance by respondents justified relief; however the obligation to serve and file notice remains and future failures to take basic steps (including personally serving notice or seeking short consent from opponent) may result in refusal of extensions. The applicant was ordered to pay respondents' costs of the day and respondents were granted leave to appeal out of time.
