G'day MG,
So far the SR Thread did not pinpoint with absolute accuracy as to the Source of Recovered or otherwise Funds from which we may be reimbursed.
My digging has produced this trail:

Dear SR,
I received your offer through a friend of mine in Western Australia.
Unfortunately, I became aware of this recovery operation after 4 February and was on a trip
only returning today.
As the Registration is set for 15th Feb, would you be able to provide me with further explanation
of the offer that may assist me and my friends with the decision to join in the recovery action.
Please inform me of the following:
1. Has SR Group identified a source of $funds which will be targeted for Recovery?
If yes, what are these $sources from which the recovery will be effected and enforced?
I look forward to your Reply.
Sincerely, PIF class action ref: NSD324/2009

Thank you Penny for this prompt reply and very useful links.
Just one important question left:
As understood from info provided, the recovery funds source may be an approach to Finance Department for access to CDDA scheme which is predicated on "discretionary" basis. [https://www.finance.gov.au/resource.../cdda-scheme/information-for-applicants-cdda/ ]
I assume that that approach may be made in the wake of Banking Royal Commission and the determinations made there.
SR indicates a time frame of some 4 months over which it collects some $2,000 in fees per member.
Is SR proposing a Cut Off date for Finance Department CDDA response/s for SR Applications and are the5 instalments totalling $2,000 over 4 months the maximum a member may lose in the event of "unsuccessful" action?
Please clarify ASAP.

SR have not responded to the specific question on the source of funds,
and the Sent/Read times are at odds as seen in above pasting.
May be a small tech-glitch, but the delay in providing a straight answer beyond
"...

scope of works.. " raises credibility doubts.
But that's me; the reply may yet arrive tomorrow before 5 PM.
Will duly post it.
And BTW, some 300 signees @ $2,000 appr. = $600,000 hefty return on a miniscule administrative effort.
Cheers,
Hi Simon, Long time no banter!!
For those registered already, as well as new registrations it will be a set fee of $198 (GST incl) per calendar month for four consecutive months. So a total outlay over 4 months of $792 maximum, except for 10% on anything they get for us.
Cheers, John H
