Section 504 of the Corporations Law likely sets a time limit requiring applications for review of liquidator remuneration to be brought before deregistration, and this time limit cannot be circumvented by resort to the more general supervisory provisions of s 536. An unsecured creditor with no prospect of financial benefit from a review of fees is likely not a 'person aggrieved' for the purposes of s 601AH(2)(a). Even where administrators and liquidators have failed to give adequate notice of fees and to provide detailed accounts, an inquiry may be refused where the applicant has delayed, has no financial interest in the outcome, and the only creditor who could benefit does not support the application.
