OCEAN ENERGY INNOVATION LTD (IN LIQ) v MURRAY [2022] NZHC 1916
- Citation
- [2022] NZHC 1916
- Court
- High Court
The requirements of s13 were established and the debtor failed to discharge the onus under s37 to show adjudication should be refused: the proposed challenge to the underlying judgment is unpersuasive and out of time, impecuniosity alone does not make adjudication pointless, public interest in accountability supports adjudication, and asset recovery issues are for the Official Assignee to investigate; accordingly the court adjudicated the debtor bankrupt.
