Sydney lawyer Leigh Johnson has lost her appeal in a class action launched by investors who allegedly sank $12.3 million into a fraudulent sports betting scheme run by convicted conman Peter Foster.
A Sydney lawyer has lost her bid to vacate an upcoming hearing in her appeal of a judge’s finding that investors who sank $12.3 million into a fraudulent sports betting scheme run by convicted conman Peter Foster lost money because of her failure to come forward with the truth.
A judge has set aside a liquidator’s bid for public examination of National Rugby League boss Todd Greenberg and another high-ranking officer, finding the summonses were an “abuse of process” and that the company behind them had entered into liquidation for the sole purpose of grilling the officials.
The liquidator of a subsidiary of collapsed Ambient Advertising has launched legal proceedings against the company’s director after getting the all-clear from the Federal Court to enter into an agreement with a litigation funder that will take 45 per cent of the proceeds.
