- High Court
The sealed costs order created a debt that is due and unpaid; the judgment debtor committed an act of bankruptcy; the asserted Trust claims are speculative, not personal to the debtor, and would not prevent adjudication; nothing raised justified exercising the s36 discretion to refuse adjudication or ordering a stay under s38; accordingly an order adjudicating the debtor bankrupt was made.
