GUNNS FINANCE PTY LTD v BOYCE [2018] NZHC 551
- Citation
- [2018] NZHC 551
- Court
- High Court
The act of bankruptcy occurred at the expiry of 20 September 2017 so the three-month filing period required the application to be filed by 20 December 2017; the application was effectively filed a day late and electronic transmission of a copy of a cheque did not satisfy the requirement to lodge the filing fee under High Court Rule 1.3; because the court cannot extend the statutory time limit in s 13(b) the strike-out order stands and the recall is refused.
