             (1)  The Court may order that a company is not eligible for temporary restructuring relief if there are not reasonable grounds to believe any of the following:

                     (a)  the company is insolvent, or is likely to become insolvent before the declaration under paragraph 458E(1)(a) expires;

                     (b)  the eligibility criteria for restructuring would be met in relation to the company if a restructuring practitioner were appointed on any day after notice of the declaration made under subparagraph 458E(1)(a)(i) is published on which the declaration has not expired;

                     (c)  the company has taken all reasonable steps to appoint a restructuring practitioner;

                     (d)  the company will take all reasonable steps to appoint a restructuring practitioner before the expiry of the declaration made by the company under subsection 458E(1).

             (2)  The Court may make an order under subsection (1):

                     (a)  on the application of:

                              (i)  a creditor of the company; or

                             (ii)  ASIC; or

                     (b)  on the Court's own initiative.

             (3)  If the Court makes an order in relation to a company under subsection (1), the directors of the company must within 5 business days after the order is made:

                     (a)  publish notice of the order in the prescribed manner; and

                     (b)  give ASIC a copy of the order.

Note:          Failure to comply with this subsection is an offence (see subsection 1311(1)).
