REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 This is an application to stay or terminate a winding up order. The winding up order was made on the basis of non-fulfilment of a statutory demand. The evidence shows that the demand was served at the registered address of the company which in fact was no longer practically used for that purpose and there was a failure of communication between the company and its accountant in that respect. The order was made only on 3 February last and no creditor appeared on that occasion to support or oppose the making of the petition notwithstanding the fact that there had been the usual advertisements. 2 I have been provided with evidence from the external accountant of the defendant as to the financial accounts up to 3 February showing both a surplus of assets over liabilities and current profitable trading although that profit is fairly marginal. The plaintiff Commissioner has been paid out. The liquidator's costs have been paid and my reading of the affidavit from the liquidator does not indicate any cause for concern about inflicting on the public an insolvent company if an order is made. 3 This seems to me to be a case of a very recent winding up by inadvertence with a discretion to be exercised in favour of the applicant. I make Order 2 as asked in the interlocutory process. I should note that the plaintiff consents to the order. That order is made.
