Ghosts of times past

I spent almost ten years as General Manager of one of the firms that
went into the Buzzle debacle.

Now a legal academic - with some teaching in corporations and research in insolvency law.

New worlds and old ones colliding ;-)

I had no idea Princess Mary of Denmark (as she now is) was involved in the episode.

Does that make me connected to royalty?

Here is the court details for today if anyone in Sydney is keen to have
a sticky beak

JUSTICE WHITE - COURT 12C, QUEENS SQUARE, 10:00am
006768/04
BUZZLE OPERATIONS PTY LTD (IN LIQ) & 1 ORS

v

APPLE COMPUTER AUSTRALIA PTY LTD & 9 ORS

Not sure how far they will get with the argument that Apple's Finance
Director, Jim Likidis, was a shadow director of Buzzle.

Interesting case to follow - I'll be trying to get some more details.
