IN THE MATTER OF WAYNE DAVID POWELL
BETWEEN: CHARLES PHILIPPE LOUIS NILANT
APPLICANT
AND: WAYNE DAVID POWELL
RESPONDENT
JUDGE: FRENCH J
DATE: 22 MAY 2000
PLACE: PERTH
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT ON APPLICATION FOR TERMINATION OF COMPOSITION 1 I am satisfied, having regard to the non-compliance by the debtor with the terms of the composition, that: (i) the composition cannot be proceeded without undue delay to the creditors; (ii) in any event by reason of the non-compliance with the terms of the composition it ought to be terminated. 2 I am satisfied that having regard to the powers available to the trustee to be exercised in the interests of the creditors it is in their interests that the composition be terminated. There is at least the possibility of some further recovery which seems remote if the composition is allowed to stay on foot. I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice French.
