Liquidation trumps unauthorised business rescue appeals: director becomes functus officio and unprosecuted leave applications do not suspend winding‑up.
* Company law – business rescue (s 131 & s 132 Companies Act) – requirements to trigger suspension of liquidation; service on affected persons and expeditious conduct of business rescue proceedings. * Company law – liquidation – director becomes functus officio on winding‑up; only liquidator may prosecute or withdraw company litigation. * Civil procedure – Superior Courts Act s 18(1)/(3) – declaration that an order is not suspended pending leave to appeal; exceptional circumstances and irreparable harm. * Abuse of process – unprosecuted/unauthorised appeals used to delay liquidation and prejudice creditors.
