I am a Defendant in a lawsuit brought by my former employer IceTV Pty Ltd.
One of the Directors of IceTV is Rod Sutherland, who was one of the
Administrators of Mobilesoft.
My company Vogel Ross was also a creditor of Mobilesoft when it went into
administration.
At a recent hearing of the IceTV matter, I attempted to get leave to
cross-claim against Rod Sutherland on the basis of losses I allege my
company suffered as a result of his administration of Mobilesoft including
an allegation that his statement of independence was misleading.
The judge said:
"It appears to me that the claims against Mr Sutherland and Mr Arnautovic in
the proposed fourth cross-claim raise separate and discrete matters under
the Corporations Act which ought not be brought by cross-claim in any
event."
So I will need to start separate proceedings. This will present opoprtunity
for others who feel they were disadvantaged by the way the administration
and DOCA were handled to join as plaintiffs.
Anyone who is interested in discussing this should contact me off-list.
Thanks,
Peter Vogel
