Scenario

The prospectus states that :

ADL is seeking up to $100 million to develop its business as a finance company. The company has delivered strong profit results for a number of years, including an audited net surplus of $14.97 million for the year ended 30 June 2015, an increase of 47% on the previous year’s results. In addition, ADL’s receivables book is both growing and expanding into diverse business sectors.

Prudent Investment relying on the statements in the prospectus, which indicates that ADL was financially sound, bought a block of ADL’s shares.

Twelve months later ADL went into liquidation with losses of $10 million. On examination of ADL’s accounts it was clear that the company had been in financial trouble since 2014 and the position was even worse when the report was written.

Prudent Investment is now attempting to recover their investment from Ace Consulting & Accounting.

He searches in the Yellow Pages and finds a supplier, Mandy. Mandy agrees to supply the goods to Jose and asks him to enter into an agreement. Jose was nervous about signing an agreement with someone he didn’t know and insisted on putting a clause that “this agreement is not a formal legal agreement and shall not be enforceable in the Courts”. Mandy reluctantly agreed and signed.
