SONS OF GWALIA
The High Court has confirmed that claims of shareholders for misleading and deceptive conduct and a failure to disclose material information against an insolvent company, arising out of the purchase of shares on market, rank equally with the claims of other unsecured creditors. The decision means that the claims IMF is funding in the administrations of Sons of Gwalia and in ION can now proceed on the basis that if the claimants are successful they will be entitled to participate in a dividend from the company on an equal basis with other unsecured creditors.
