ASIC must cancel the registration of the business name to the entity if: (a) a copy of the court ' s order is lodged with ASIC; and (b) ASIC is satisfied, within a reasonable period after the order is lodged, that:
(i) no application for the stay of the order is pending; and
(ii) no appeal of the order is pending; and
(iii) the order is not stayed; and
(iv) the order has not been overturned on appeal.
