The Court held that winding-up petitions are governed by the Companies (Winding-up) Rules 1972 which require summary disposal on the date fixed; therefore the many interlocutory applications and successive appeals brought under writ procedures (eg O.18 r.19 RHC 1980) amounted to abuse of process and unfairly delayed petitions. The appeals were dismissed and applications for stays pending further appeal were refused, affirming the court's duty to prevent procedural tactics that frustrate the winding-up regime.
