Application by administrator to extend convening period for second creditors' meeting
Whether modification in the interests of creditors as a whole
Quick Take
1A court extending the convening period for a second creditors' meeting under s 439A of the Corporations Act must balance the expectation of a speedy administration against the need to ensure sensible and constructive options directed at maximising returns for creditors are not foreclosed by premature convening.
2Complexity of the administration — including the number of related entities, regulatory frameworks, and parallel external administrations of joint venture partners — is an established category justifying extension of the convening period where there is no evidence of material prejudice to creditors.
3Orders permitting any aggrieved party to apply to vacate or vary the extension within a specified period provide appropriate protection to creditors from possible prejudice arising from the extension.
