The review Panel has affirmed the initial Panel’s decision to make a declaration of unacceptable circumstances in Ringers Western Limited (see TP24/033).

The review Panel agreed with the initial Panel’s final orders and has varied them so that the cancellation will now take effect on 18 July 2024. As a result of the variation the stay order is no longer in effect.

The variation to the orders is set out at Annexure A.
