The Panel, Christian Johnston, Nora Scheinkestel (sitting President) and Robert Sultan, declined to conduct proceedings on an application by Discovery Parks, and an application by Discovery Parks and Martin Cotterell as trustee for the Marlee Superannuation Fund, in relation to the affairs of Aspen Parks Property Fund. The applications concerned (among other things) an entitlement offer made by Aspen Parks and whether disclosure should have been made earlier of an indicative and later final conditional proposal by Discovery Parks to acquire assets of Aspen Parks. Given the lateness of the applications, the Panel considered that the facts presented were not such as to warrant further delaying the timetable of the entitlement offer, which could be unfairly prejudicial.

The Panel, James Dickson, Peter Hay (sitting President) and Michelle Jablko, declined to conduct proceedings on an application by Scantech Limited, and instead referred the issue to ASIC for it to investigate and consider making an application. The application concerned whether certain shareholders had entered into agreements that created relevant interests in excess of 20% or otherwise created or evidenced an association in breach of Chapter 6.

The Panel, Hamish Douglass (sitting President), John Keeves and Francesca Lee, declined to conduct proceedings on an application by Australian Mortgage Acquisition Company Pty Ltd and Resimac Limited in relation to the affairs of RHG Limited.
