- High Court
The Court found the creditor had established the act of bankruptcy and the debts were final; the debtor's allegations of dishonesty were bare, unsworn or belated and lacked corroboration so could not overturn final judgments; the debtor failed to demonstrate lack of assets or inability to pay with reliable evidence; no sufficient reason or just and equitable grounds under s37 to refuse adjudication and no basis to halt under s38; accordingly adjudication was ordered and costs awarded to the creditor on a 2B basis.
