Padbury directors banned for three years
Nick Sas - The West Australian on August 19, 2016, 2:50 pm
The long-running saga of Padbury Mining’s false start to build a rail system servicing Oakajee Port and Rail came to an end yesterday when directors Gary Stokes and Terence Quinn were banned from managing corporations for three years and fined $25,000 each. In a judgment handed down following an Australian Securities and Investments Commission investigation, the Federal Court found Stokes and Quinn were “misleading and deceptive” when they announced in 2014 that they had secured $US6.5 billion to build the Oakajee port and rail project.
In handing down his judgment, Federal Court Justice Anthony Siopis said ASIC’s claims that the defendants had engaged in contravening conduct were vindicated.
He said the conduct of the two directors was a “serious departure from the standards expected of directors of a public company in a like situation”. “It is crucial to the maintenance of confidence in the Australian market that company directors ensure announcements made by their companies are not misleading, and contain all material information relevant to investors' assessment of deals being announced,” Justice Siopis said. “In this case the omission of significant conditions precedent and the identity of the funder were held to constitute breaches of the laws applying to listed companies.” Stokes and Quinn will also be forced to pay $200,000 towards ASIC’s costs.

Good result. Especially given the $200k costs they will have to pay, on top of the $25k fines. When FAS goes under I'd certainly hope ASIC to launch similar action against Kevvy and Crew.
