[1954] HCA 46
High Court of Australia
1954-07-01
Taylor JJ, McTiernan J
Original judgment source is linked above.
For the reasons which I have given I am of opinion that s. 24, in so far as it purports to confer upon the registrar the power to make sequestration orders on debtors' petitions, constitutes an attempt to invest him with judicial power and, accordingly, I am of opinion that both questions raised by the special case should be answered in the negative.
