Former Federal Court Judge, Annabelle Bennett, Provided Fixed Outcomes

On 31 August 2015 Christian filed an application seeking the joinder of the new PowerBar + Musashi owners to be listed as parties to the Federal Court proceedings, due to the 24 August 2015 prospectus for the Vitaco ASX IPO listing new owners as Vitaco Health Australia Pty Ltd & Health Foods International Ltd.

Bennett J placed a stoppage on the Christian 31 August 2015 application by instructing the Sydney Registry to leave the Christian application unprocessed for 21-days. The stoppage provided time for the Vitaco J.P. Morgan & Citigroup joint led IPO to close on 11 September 2015 with the cover up of the fraudulent concealment of the Federal Court proceedings from the IPO (click here to view the application).

BENNETT J HEARD THE CHRISTIAN 31 AUGUST 2015 APPLICATION ON 21 SEPTEMBER 2015

At the 21 September 2015 hearing to facilitate the cover up of Vitaco contraventions of the Corporations Act 2001 for non-disclosure of the Federal Court proceedings in the prospectus for the IPO, and to facilitate the fraudulent concealment from the IPO of litigation revealing Post’s violations of U.S. antitrust laws, Bennett J refused to join the correct parties, Vitaco Health Australia Pty Ltd & Health Foods International Ltd, to the Federal Court proceedings.

Instead at the 21 September 2015 hearing Bennett J ordered that Vitaco Health IP Pty Ltd, an entity not listed in the Vitaco 24 August 2015 IPO prospectus, be joined to the Federal Court proceedings, with that entity having been re-assigned the Musashi intellectual property ownership only 2-hours prior to the hearing.

Bennett J also conspired to instruct the Sydney Registry to not list the Christian 31 August 2015 interlocutory application on the CCP until after the closing of Vitaco IPO, and then for the application to be listed as directions on the CCP and not as an interlocutory application hearing.

Former Federal Court Judge Annabelle Bennett retired early from the Federal Court of Australia after providing fixed Court outcomes to 5 Wentworth Chambers former senior counsel Stephen Burley, (now Justice Stephen Burley), who acted for Nestlé & Post in both the FCC proceedings and Federal Court proceedings.

Annabelle Bennett returned to 5 Wentworth Chambers 5 Wentworth as senior counsel in a job swap with 5 Wentworth colleague Stephen Burley. And under the Judges’ Pension Scheme, Australian taxpayers now pay Bennett $20,000 each month for life.
