DTB: welcome to ST discussions, as i notice it's your first logged post.
You have raised an important point (tho i doubt the wisdom of rushing off for a Court determination as a first strategy).
I agree with W69's comment above. It seems so obvious that Perpetual cannot possibly be an independent trustee in relation to Marac when each is owned by the same uber-entity, that we have to wonder what they are all up to, and why they might think we are all so stupid they think they will get away with it. Want to bet on yet another infestation of so-called "chinese" walls as an excuse for imminent transparent roguery?
