Re: Wellington Premium Income Fund

Im with WEllington and have only found out about the class action. How did people join, as i have always wanted to do something, but didn't know anything was done. I didn't know this existed and had no idea people were doing something. Is it too late to join in? I have lost alot of money, but what annoyed me even more was when i rang up MFS in January 2007 I was told that my money was safe and to renew my term deposit, if only i got that in writing. I had one due June 2007 and to this day i am still awaiting my money like no doubt many others. Even though i was told it could take up to 365 days which is only 1 year not 2 years.

How did you all find out about it, i have tried to google it but didn't find much
Thanks
Sue

Dear Sue

The PIF Action Group [ PIF AG ] has been serving its PIF investor members since May 2008. Certain members of the AG instigated this class action against several former MFS PIF directors and KPMG auditors via Carneys Lawyers, Sydney. This class action is strongly moving forward on behalf of all PIF investors if they wish to join.

You can contact Carneys Lawyers via details as in thread #7 above or if you would like some emailed information you can receive that from the AG by emailing: breaker7@optusnet.com.au

If you wish to join the Action Group we will happily put you on our data base as a member for Premium Income Fund PIF AG class action updates.

Thanks breaker. I watched the previous thread but didn't participate, but it's sudden closure left a big gap in our lives at a time when we needed all the support we can give each other. We can now come in out of the cold.

Re: Wellington Premium Income Fund

Hi Folk,

Great to see this is alive again! I didn't post many comments previously but read all constructive comments with interest.

Looking forward to the result of the Directions hearing today.

Breaker, when is the next AG meeting planned for Sydney?

Cheers,
Alan
 
Re: Wellington Premium Income Fund

Hi All,
The proceedings were before the Federal Court of Australia today at 9.30am.

The proceedings were adjourned until 1 September 2009 for further mention. Tony Martin QC advised the Court that the reason the proceedings were adjourned were twofold. The reasons were: -
That there are still a few respondents who have not been served and the adjournment would enable additional efforts to serve the remaining respondents.
That last week an agreement was reached with Wellington Capital Limited as the responsible entity for Wellington Premium Income Fund whereby Wellington Capital Limited has agreed to make available for inspection a large number of documents. The large number of documents consist of approximately 1,000 lever arch folders. The adjournment will enable time for the inspection of the documents to take place and thereafter any appropriate amendments to the statement of claim.
The adjournment is approximately eight weeks from today.
We are also pleased to announce that IMF have agreed in principle to Fund the Class Action, however the exact terms have yet to be agreed upon.
I also note that Ian Zellinski has filed his Notice of Appearance as of today.
Regards, Seamisty

Re: Wellington Premium Income Fund

New buyer sought for Latitude Owen Jacques | 29th June 2009 Daily Mercury:::;The whole article can be found here::: http://www.dailymercury.com.au/story/2009/06/29/new-buyer-sought-for-stalled-city-high-rise/:::: I believe this is one of WC PIF 'mortgagee in possesion' properties. Regards, Seamisty

Hi all - good to see the thread back. excellent result in the Federal Court yesterday.

Looks like the Mackay developers of Latitude don't want Wellington selling the project. Brisbane Supreme Court applications today: LATITUDE AT MACKAY PTY LTD -V- WELLINGTON INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LIMITED & others. 9:30AM– The list of applications will be called over in COURT 5 FLOOR 1 for allocation to a Judge and an order of hearing will be indicated for contested matters.

About 2 weeks ago a similar application was lodged by Latitude and another one by (from memory) Hadcorp who is the builder.

If you want all the detail on this project see: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=426181

Re: Wellington Premium Income Fund

Hi Marcom, Does anyone know what the Lattitude project owes the PIF? In the Dec 11th 2008 update there are 2 Mackay properties listed with a combined amount owing to the PIF of approx $10.57mill but I am not sure if it refers to Lattitude. Regards, Seamisty
 
Re: Wellington Premium Income Fund
