Facts of the Case

Background

The Applicant entered into a sale agreement with the First Respondent for 500 stands in 2005. The Applicant failed to meet its obligations and was placed under reconstruction. The Administrator requested an extension of time from the First Respondent, which was declined. The First Respondent cancelled the agreement and sold the stands to the Second Respondent. The Applicant challenged the cancellation and sought to have the subsequent sale set aside.
