In JH7 Holdings Pty Ltd (ACN 601664617) v Chung & Ors [2024] QSC 55, the Supreme Court of Queensland, presided over by Justice Callaghan, dealt with an application involving JH7 Holdings Pty Ltd and Kuo-Jen Chung, among others. The background of the case centres on a loan agreement and the failure of JH7 Holdings to comply with certain court orders. Several delays and non-compliances led to a series of orders by Justice Freeburn, culminating in a guillotine order. Despite multiple opportunities for compliance, JH7 Holdings only provided inadequate documentation, which the court found did not meet the substantive or good faith requirements. Consequently, the court dismissed the plaintiff's application and upheld the previous orders, resulting in judgment for the defendant along with a requirement for the plaintiff to cover the defendant’s costs on a standard basis. The defendant's request for indemnity costs was refused, but the court did order standard cost payments for applications filed and oral arguments presented.
