Update: Newington Tradition Supporters Fund
See below an important update from our friends at the Newington Tradition Supporters Fund (formerly the Newington Class Action Group):
Dear Newington Community,
It is with a heavy heart, that today we are able to announce, that our solicitors, Brown Wright Stein Lawyers have a submitted a draft Statement of Claim against the Council for Newington College and the individual Councillors of Newington College (and others) to the Attorney-General of New South Wales as required under the Charities legislation as the final step prior to commencing legal action against the Council.
The Attorney General is the Protector of Charities. The Attorney General represents the Crown as the protector of all property subject to charitable trusts. This is one of the Attorney General's prerogative powers.
Once the Attorney-General has reviewed the statement of claim and supporting documents, we are hopeful that his approval to commence proceedings will be forthcoming shortly thereafter.
Please note, this legal action is being undertaken on behalf of current parents (and on behalf of their sons) and is not to be confused with the current action being under taken by the Save Newington Group against the ONU, although we wholeheartedly support the SNC in their endeavours.
We will endeavour to keep you, our community, updated as this matter progresses. We appreciate everyone's patience in relation to the time that it has taken to get us to this point.
In the interim, if you have any specific questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us via reply email.
Yours sincerely,
Newington Tradition Supporters Fund
