The Court was satisfied the bankrupt's debts had been fully paid from her late father's estate and accordingly annulled the adjudication under s119(1)(b); the Official Assignee was entitled to indemnity costs given his statutory role and required appearance, and the Court awarded $350 in solicitor costs plus $100 advertising, finding the solicitor fee ($300 net) reasonable at an effective rate of $200 per hour for 1.5 hours; the annulment was not back-dated and was dealt with under s119(1)(b) rather than s119(1)(a).
