JUDGMENT

Gopal Sri Ram JCA:

Preliminary

There are several appeals that are being disposed of by this judgment. They all arise out of the same dispute. It has to do with an order of winding up made against the appellant company. A few words first about how we came to hear these appeals.

On Monday, 2 April 2001, a company called Anafartalar Caddesi Sdn. Bhd moved us on an application for stay of execution of a winding up order made against the appellant. It is a contributory of the appellant. After a short argument, we permitted the applicant company to be added as a co-appellant and directed the cause papers before us to be amended to reflect this. We also granted a stay of execution pending appeal. Since the matter was of some importance to the parties, it was by consent ordered that the motion for stay be treated as the appeal proper. Leave was then given to the appellants to formally lodge and serve its memorandum of appeal by 11am the following day sans any supporting documents. The parties before us, including the supporting creditors were given liberty to put in one affidavit to complete the record if necessary. We then fixed the appeal for hearing on 5 April 2001.
