The court found that the respondent was insolvent, unable to pay his debts, and his liabilities exceeded his assets. The respondent failed to satisfy a substantial judgment debt, and attempts to execute against his assets were unsuccessful. The respondent admitted he had no immovable property and could not account for the loans advanced. The applicants established that the respondent had committed an act of insolvency under section 8(g) of the Insolvency Act. The court was satisfied that sequestration was in the interests of creditors and granted the final sequestration order.
