Section 440A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the Act) provides that a Court is to adjourn the hearing of a winding up application if the company is under administration and the Court is satisfied that it is in the interests of the company’s creditors for the company to continue under administration rather than be wound up. The authorities on this section are well established and the principles to be applied in such an application are well known. Despite this, there is a tendency for the outcome of these applications to be unpredictable.
