The debtor appealed a receiving order in bankruptcy.
The petitioning creditors relied on judgments entered against the debtor more than six months prior to the petition.
The debtor argued that the creditors failed to prove an act of bankruptcy within the six months preceding the petition because no fresh demand for payment was made.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that a judgment is a continuing demand for payment and a fresh demand within the six-month period is not required to establish an act of bankruptcy.
