BODY CORPORATE 378945 v MEMELINK [2022] NZHC 890

- High Court
Service of the bankruptcy notice was proved; non-payment of the $828 costs would have been an act of bankruptcy but because the applicant could not establish that the debtor owed at least $1,000 as at the date of adjudication (the debtor paid the sums claimed before the hearing) and because a supporting creditor who has merely filed a notice does not count as having 'joined' the application under s 13(a), the Court was unable to make an order adjudicating the debtor bankrupt; accordingly the application was dismissed.
