Decision by:
Dixon CJ

In my opinion this appeal should be allowed and an order made dismissing the motion in the Federal Court of Bankruptcy. I concur in the grounds given in the judgments prepared by Williams J. and by Fullagar J. which I have had the advantage of reading. The reasoning by which these grounds are supported is perhaps expressed from slightly different points of view, but there is no inconsistency between the judgments, in both of which I respectfully concur.
