The Supreme Court of New South Wales has ruled that the second meeting of Ten Network’s creditors can proceed on 19 September, after rejecting an application by Lachlan Murdoch and Bruce Gordon to have it postponed. They had argued that administrator KordaMentha did not fully consider their takeover offer for Ten when the firm endorsed the rival bid by CBS Corporation. Gordon is expected to lodge an appeal before the creditors’ meeting is held, which could further delay Ten’s sale. The court also rejected Gordon’s bid to prevent CBS from voting at the meeting.
