Co-operatives Act 2009

If the Registrar appoints an administrator to conduct a co‑operative’s affairs, a person cannot begin or continue proceedings in a court against the co‑operative until the administrator’s appointment is revoked except with the leave of the Supreme Court and, if the Supreme Court grants leave, in accordance with any terms that the Supreme Court imposes.

A person intending to apply for leave of the Supreme Court under subsection (1) must give the Registrar at least 10 days notice of intention to apply.

On the hearing of an application under subsection (1), the Registrar may be represented and may oppose the application.
