From time to time, I have a quick look at the Federal Court of Australia website to see if the case of Hawthorn Glen Pty Ltd -v- Aconex Pty Ltd, Rob Phillpot and Leigh Jasper has been resolved. Regular readers will know that construction collaboration business Aconex and its MDs have been engaged in a protracted legal dispute with a major shareholder over a share issue (for ease of reference, I’ve added a short list of related posts below).
I was not expecting a judgement to be made for another month or two, and it now seems that the dispute could drag on even longer. The latest development has seen Hawthorn Glen file a notice of motion to reopen the case, and a hearing date has been set for 19 March.
Update (20 March): I understand that an interlocutory judgment prompted by the notice of motion is due to be delivered on 26 March.
