TP21/039
The Panel has declined to conduct proceedings on an application dated 17 November 2021 from Nex Metals Explorations Ltd in relation to its affairs.
Nex Metals had submitted (in effect) that following the making of Metalicity’s bid, an agent of Metalicity has engaged in conduct that constituted a breach of sections 619(1) (offers to be the same) and 623 (collateral benefits) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (see TP21/38).
The Panel considered that insufficient material had been provided to support the Panel conducting proceedings. Accordingly, the Panel concluded there was no reasonable prospect that it would make a declaration of unacceptable circumstances.
The sitting Panel was Marina Kelman, Michael Lishman, and Karen Phin (sitting President).
The Panel will publish its reasons for the decision in due course on its website.
