The bankruptcy notices were not set aside because the debtor failed to show a seriously arguable counterclaim or evidential basis to invalidate the notices; however service abroad had been defective because leave under s17(3) Insolvency Act was not obtained, so the defect was corrected by granting leave to serve out of New Zealand, directing personal service at the Malaysian address provided, renewing the notices and fixing 25 working days to comply; sealed costs orders remain final and are not revisited in this proceeding.
