A small army of lawyers descended on the High Court this morning in the stoush over whether or not liquidators should stay in charge of the embattled builders risk insurer CBL Insurance.
The main skirmish, however, won't happen until June.
CBL Corp appointed voluntary administrators in February after the Reserve Bank - which regulates the insurance industry - went to court to appoint an interim liquidator to its subsidiary CBL Insurance over concerns about its solvency and transferring $50 million offshore.
The moves came after CBL revealed that it had been under instruction by the central bank as far back as July but was subject to a confidentiality order which meant it had not told shareholders.
Trading in CBL Corporation shares has been suspended for months.
