CORPORATIONS ACT 2001 - SECT 657EA

Internal Takeovers Panel reviews

  (1)   The following may apply under this section for review by the Takeovers Panel of a decision of the Takeovers Panel made on an application under section   657C:

  (a)   a party to the proceedings in which the decision was made; or

  (b)   ASIC.

For these purposes, decision has the same meaning as in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 .

  (2)   If the decision is not:

  (a)   a decision to make a declaration under section   657A; or

  (b)   a decision to make an order under section   657D or 657E;

the person may apply for review only with the consent of the President of the Takeovers Panel.

  (3)   The regulations may provide for the time limits within which an application may be made for review of a decision.

Note:   Regulations made under the ASIC Act deal with the constitution of the Takeovers Panel for the purposes of conducting a review under this section and the procedures to be followed in conducting the review.

  (4)   After conducting a review under this section, the Takeovers Panel may:

  (a)   vary the decision reviewed; or

  (b)   set aside the decision reviewed; or

  (c)   set aside the decision reviewed and substitute a new decision.

In conducting the review, the Takeovers Panel has the same power to make a declaration under section   657A, or an order under section   657D or 657E, as it has when it is considering an application under section   657C.

  (5)   Despite section   657B, the Takeovers Panel can only make a declaration under section   657A after conducting a review under this section if the declaration is made within:

  (a)   3 months after the circumstances in relation to which the declaration is made occur; or

  (b)   1 month after the application for review was made;

whichever ends last. The Court may extend the period on application by the Takeovers Panel.
