The Federal Court held that a liquidator does not have statutory authority to grant retrospective sanction in the absence of express enabling provision; therefore a notice of appeal filed without prior sanction was void ab initio and retrospective sanction granted by the liquidator does not validate the appeal unless the court itself grants nunc pro tunc relief or equivalent.
