Schedule One of the Originating Progress
Federal Court of Australia Proceeding (application) 955/2017
I refer to your recent emails in relation to the application and confirm receipt of the following
documents:
1. Originating Process dated 30 August 2017;
2. Affidavit of Bryan Webster affirmed 30 August 2017 (excluding exhibits);
3. Affidavit of Susanna Ford affirmed 30 August2017.
4. Affidavit of Bryan Webster affirmed 6 September 2Q17;
5. Affidavit of Susanna Ford affirmed 6 September 2017;
6. Plaintiffs Outline of Submissions 6 September 2017 with a proposed form of order
7. Deed Administrators' letter of 5 September 2107 lo:
a) contractual counterparties; and
b) lessors of property and equipment
The Australian Securities and lnvestments Commission (ASIC) understands that theplaintiffs have brought notice of the application to the attention of the counterpartiesl
affected by the proposed orders who had not been served with the Originating process,
l Affidavit of Mr Bryan Webster's dated 6 September 2017 at paragraphs 25-29
10
ln the circumstances, ASIC considers that this is a matter properly left for the determination
of the Court and confirms that it does not propose to intervene in the application or seek
leave to appear at the hearing on 8 September 2Q17.
ASIC's decision is based on the principles set out in ASIC lnformation Sheet 180 AS/C's
approach to involvement in private court proceedings, including:
1. whether intervention is of strategic regulatory significance;
2. whether the benefits of intervention outweigh the costs of doing so;
3. whether issues specific to the case warrant intervention; and
4. whether alternatives are available, including appearing as amicus curiae or taking
action itself.
This letter should not be taken as an expression of support for, or opposition to, the orders
sought in the application to be heard.
sincerely
Andrew
