The respondent trades under the name of Cash Converters Gosnells ("Cash Converters"). It was revealed in evidence that the respondent's correct name is in fact Queendale Investments Pty Ltd trading as Cash Converters Gosnells. The first order that I would make, in the absence of any objection, is therefore that the name of the respondent in this application be altered to reflect that fact.
