Wellington Capital PIF/Octaviar (MFS) PIF

Hi Guys,

I have been following the (frustrating) progress since WC became involved.
My units are in a company name (my company, and I am a director. originally purchased when it was MFS). Do you know if I do an off market transfer now of the units into my own personal name, will my entitlements be compromised (should any benefits to unitholders be forthcoming)??

Thanks in advance

R.

ASIC failed to take action again , local Geelong company goes into receivership.

When are ASIC going to start taking notice of complaints aren't they suppose to be looking out for consumers and investors.
 
Interlocutory
Provisional; interim; temporary; not final; that which intervenes between the beginning and the end of a lawsuit or proceeding to either decide a particular point or matter that is not the final issue of the entire controversy or prevent irreparable harm during the pendency of the lawsuit.

Interlocutory actions are taken by courts when a Question of Law must be answered by an appellate court before a trial may proceed or to prevent irreparable harm from occu...rring to a person or property during the pendency of a lawsuit or proceeding. Generally, courts are reluctant to make interlocutory orders unless the circumstances surrounding the case are serious and require timely action.

Interlocutory appeals are restricted by state and federal appellate courts because courts do not want piecemeal litigation. Appeals courts generally review only cases that have reached final judgment in the trial courts. When a court administrator enters final judgment, this certifies that the trial court has ended its review of the case and jurisdiction shifts to the appellate court.See More

And on MFS** Fee grab

And so the calls went on this week. There were two phone calls which spring to mind. The first one pointed out that administrators Bentleys had charged almost $20 million in fees and disbursements from the failed Summit Mortgage Fund. This was half the $40 million in recoveries from Summit, guzzled in lawyers' and liquidators' charges.

This time last year we reported how Bentleys had ripped $17 million out of the corpse of Octaviar (nee MFS). The regulatory failure in insolvency is epic

Fortress Targeted In $200M Clawback By Bankrupt Aussie Co.


By Stephanie Russell-Kraft 0 Comments
Law360, New York (February 28, 2014, 7:05 PM ET) -- The liquidators of Australia-based property finance group Octaviar Administration Pty. Ltd. filed a $210 million clawback suit against a hedge fund managed by Fortress Investment Group LLC in New York court Friday, alleging Drawbridge siphoned off funds belonging to Octaviar while it was insolvent.

It makes you wonder what they actually do all day, year in, year out. probably too busy these days defending their pathetic performance relating to all the submissions made against them at the Senate Enquiry to do anything else apart from their usual fob offs!:mad:

Thanks Seamisty.
Just thought you guys (knowing the story from day dot) would have a good idea on the gist of the Q.
Me thinks I would probably incur costs more than the units are worth to get a professional opinion – as god knows how long it would take for them to get up to speed with the history/trail!!

MFS liquidators pursue Fortress in US court to recoup $210m 'siphoned' from company

LEO SHANAHAN | The Australian | March 12, 2014 12:00AM

LIQUIDATORS for failed financial and hotels investment group MFS have widened their pursuit of US-based investment vehicle Fortress Investment Group, filing a $210 million claim against the company and several of its managing directors in the New York Supreme Court.

The New York-based Fortress Investment Group and three of its managing directors are being accused of siphoning off at least $210m from MFS -- now called Octaviar -- via its Drawbridge hedge fund, in proceeds liquidators claim were rightly owed to the company, just before its collapse.

The Australian understands the total claim by Octaviar liquidators Katherine Barnet and William Fletcher against Fortress is close to $300m with interest included.
