Injunctions were made preventing all of the respondents, including Mr Jamie McIntyre and Mr Dennis McIntyre, from promoting the five schemes ASIC is concerned about. They are: Botanica, Secret Valley Estate, Oak Valley Lakes Estate & Resort, Bendigo Vineyard Estate & Resort and Melbourne Grove Estate.
The provisional liquidators have been ordered to provide a report to the court, ASIC and the respondents within 42 days (by 19 November 2015) reporting on a number of matters including the solvency of the companies and the schemes, any money owing to investors and the likely return to creditors of the companies.
Jamie McIntyre, Dennis McIntyre and the companies all agreed to the orders made yesterday.
The decision comes after ASIC obtained an urgent injunction in the Federal Court last month against two companies associated with Mr McIntyre: 21st Century Property (officially known as Property Tuition) and 21st Century Education (officially known as Education Holdings).
The regulator has alleged that the two 21st Century Group companies promoted the proposed investment with the tagline, "Do you know how to buy Australian property, no money down?".
ASIC alleged that the investment documents are “misleading and deceptive”.
