November 2, 2020

 

     

Host: Sean Cookson, Vice President and Managing Director – APAC, Financial Recovery Technologies 

Guest: Emily Fortin, Associate Counsel, Financial Recovery Technologies

The case against AMP was one of the first to come out of the Royal Commission Investigation into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services industry. This was a very popular action as five separate, competing shareholder class actions were commenced against AMP Limited in 2018 – one in the Supreme Court of New South Wales and four in the Federal Court. The unprecedented battle that followed to book-build resulted in possibly the lowest fees for participating shareholders in AU history with fees getting as low as 10% of shareholder recoveries.
