This paper has evolved from a much shorter set of practice notes I compiled in 2002, and then a presentation paper when a principal speaker at 2 seminars in Sydney and Melbourne during 2004. I first published it in a form akin to its present form in 2008 and have revised it numerous times since then. It remains a work in progress.
I have discussed my analysis and conclusions with numerous thoroughbred industry participants and lawyers with significant expertise in a variety of legal disciplines, including the law relating to managed investment schemes. I appreciate the commentary and input of those persons.
If you would like to comment on any aspect of this paper, I invite you to do so.
Appendix D – The law of conversion – is new.
