Court

Supreme Court

Leave to appeal was granted because the issues raised were sufficiently complex and novel to warrant Supreme Court consideration; the Court confirmed and continued a non‑publication order to protect identifying particulars and directed the Registrar to appoint counsel to assist given the complexity and novelty of the issues.

Court

High Court

Because the debt underlying the statutory demand was paid following the defendant's failure to respond, the liquidation proceedings were dismissed; an order for solicitor/client indemnity costs was declined because the substantive entitlement to recover the levies had not been judicially determined and the proceedings were resolved by default, but an increased costs award (50% uplift) was justified given inevitability of payment or liquidation; interim non-publication order was lifted.
