Pilot Partners may seek injunction to recover company’s servers.
The administrators of the collapsed Bestjet Travel Pty Limited have urged customers to ignore unauthorised information that appears to have been distributed by the company through an email alert sent yesterday.
Nigel Markey and Bradley Hellen of Pilot Partners confirmed they had “no knowledge of, and did not authorise,” the email which told customers bookings made prior to 11 December “should not be cancelled”.
Bestjet and its subsidiaries Wynyard Travel Pty Ltd and Brooklyn Travel Pty Ltd were placed into voluntary administration on 18 December 2018, with the current director and owner of Bestjet, Robert McVicker Jr having notified the administrators that the company’s “servers, systems and website were still under control of the previous owner of the business”.
The business was sold to McVicker International Pty Ltd by its founder, Rachel James, just over five weeks ago.
“The administrators have no control over notices and statements issued from the company’s server, bestjet.com, and customers are advised to ignore them,” Markey said.
“These acts of interference in the administration of Bestjet must stop. I will not hesitate to seek an urgent injunction to recover the company’s servers and other books and records, and prevent any further unauthorised communications being sent,” he added.
