Robert Luka & Ors v Strata Sphere Pty Ltd Federal Matistrates Court 13 September 2006 A client company sought to bankrupt three parties against whom judgment had been entered following failure to meet a payment date in a settlement agreement.

The Court decided that there was no stay and that it was prudent to issue three Bankruptcy Notices (one for each of the debtors) rather than one single notice.
