Investors will demand Bill of Rights
Investors will demand deliverance of Bill of
Rights
Dear Investors and contacts
Investors
must demand deliverance of the Bill of Rights, as
Authorities are responsible without doubt for the Finance
Industries lack of compliance and many Directors and
shareholders are walking away with other people’s
money.
AND
Authorities continue to deny
responsibility to act over finance company collapses.
Such a stance is a blatant abdication of their statutory duty.
With approximately 50 troubled Finance companies responsible for the loss of investors money, it is intolerable that investors funds have not being traced.
As an example (while not intending to single out Bluechip from the inherent malpractices of the Finance Industry at large). The following demonstrates that investors have been denied the right to the legal protection of the States offices of compliance.
Blue Chip
It was reported that in 2001 Mark Bryers “fought off Bankruptcy proceedings after a string of property company collapses,....”
In August 2004, Journalist Duncan Bridgeman wrote the following link/story. A MUST read to make sense of the rest of this email.
http://www.sharechat.co.nz/article/144bc625/entrepreneur-bryers-turns-blues-into-chips.html
Subsequent to the article, the
current charges to which Bryers has pleaded guilty too in
relation to his Blue Chip scam, were reported on 23 February
2010, by Kelly Gregor of the NBR as follows;
Charges: Bryers was initially charged with 135
offences. The 31 charges Bryers plead guilty to will be
joined with the three charges he plead guilty to in October
2009.
The 34 charges include failure
to keep adequate company records, failure to keep records at
a company’s registered office, failure to attend a
watershed meeting and failure to complete and sign financial
statements within the given time frame.
Bryers pleaded guilty to 27 charges under the
Financial Reporting Act. These relate to failures to
complete and sign financial statements within the given time
frame.
EUFA question why the authorities failed to police Bryers. (The same question must be asked over every troubled finance company)
What have the NZ Officials been doing since 2001 to monitor Bryers business practices?
Did the authorities’ investigations only go as far as reading the “Share Chat’ article?
Were they just complacent because ex Members of Parliament held senior positions in Blue Chip? (similar to many other boards of shonky finance houses)
What investigations did they do?
Where has the investor’s money gone?
Who’s account has it been credited to?
How will investors get a resolution?
A Statutory management and an official inquiry is required.
(Early in 2008 EUFA advised
the liquidator, Jeff Meltzer and the Minister of Commerce,
Hon Lianne Dalziel, to immediately enforce the full force of
the insolvency act on Mark Bryers and take
control of
all the money he controlled. EUFA also called for Statutory
Management, but the Liquidator and Minister foolishly
believed Bryers promise to produce millions of dollars for
investors
in the (then) immediate future)
Currently the Liquidator, Official assignee, Companies
office and Serious Fraud office are all investigating
Bluechip and/or Bryers AND still no relief for the thousands
of victims of Bryers malpractice.
(The promised money
never turned up. A very, naive Liquidator and Minister
indeed! )
Furthermore, an investigation into the
statutory bodies failure to provide protection by abdicating
their statutory obligations must be demanded.
(This
demand must be extended to include all the troubled finance
companies)
When a plane crashes, why is it so
important to look into the ‘black box’? Surely it’s
too late, the plane has crashed. But we all know that
finding the ‘black box’ is paramount to enable the
cause to be identified.
I.e. what factors
caused the crash?
Was there negligence involved?
Who
is liable?
What remedial action is required to Prevent
another tragedy?
To the contrary, following the
financial crash, after two years of blundering and navel
gazing there has been no investigation into cause, neglect,
liability, remedial action or adequate prevention
of
another crash. Remember the Mount Erebus tragedy and the
litany of lies that followed.
Universally the State
Authorities have purposefully refused to look for the
‘black box’, made no effort to secure investors money
from further loss and made little effort to establish
liability.
The investors real money hasn’t been traced; it didn’t just go down the gurgler, so where is it now?
There are clear legal provisions to enable
funds to be extracted from trusts etc. Where there are
irregularities such as in the case of BlueChip and several
other Finance Companies,
it is the mandate of the
Liquidator or Receiver to take appropriate legal action to
secure all remaining funds."
More Questions
So
what are the Liquidators and Receivers doing to claw back
this money?
They are also bound by statute, so who is enforcing that they are compliant?
Are we stupid and naïve or have we simply lost sight of the ball?
Who is auditing the recovery process?
The
Authorities
Why does it seem that EUFA is “picking”
on the Government, the Securities Commission, the Commerce
Commission, the professional bodies etc?
It is because, in the aftermath of the 1987 share market crash, new legislation was introduced to prevent a repeat.
International agreements clearly attest that it is not the citizen’s responsibility to enforce the law it is the states common law obligation to uphold the law for all citizens.
The Authorities appointed to deliver
compliance enforcement on behalf of the State are bound to
comply by statute, under the NZ Bill of Rights Act 1990.
(The powers that be are ignoring the Bill of Rights –
yet they never ignore the Bill in street crime)
The NZ Bill of rights states:
The NZBORA is affirmed to NZs commitment to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
[Thereby (by affirmation) to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights]
NZBORA states in Part 1
3. Application – This Bill of Rights applies only to acts done-
(a) By the legislative, executive, or judicial branches of the government of New Zealand; or
(b) By any person or body in the performance of any public function, power, or duty conferred or imposed on that person or body by or pursuant to law.
In total disregard of which,
robbed investors of the various finance Industry and
Bluechip collapses are fobbed off and discredited, while
officialdom continue to deny that it is the States
obligation
to protect and deliver justice to them?
Quoted from:
“Butterworths New Zealand law Dictionary, 5th Edition”, written by Peter Spiller – Professor of law, University of Waikato.
*
Misfeasance: The tort consisting of a public officer
causing damage to a plaintiff, by either a deliberate act or
omission actuated by malice or a deliberate act knowingly in
excess of
official powers, in circumstance
where such officer knew or ought reasonably to have foreseen
that the deliberate conduct would cause damage to the
Plaintiff.
* Nonfeasance:The omission or
failure by person or public body to do something which that
person or public body has agreed or is otherwise liable to
do.
The various Authorities and officials
cannot continue to dismiss reality and mislead the public
further by claiming they are doing their job while the
elected Government has a clear
obligation to
ensure the States International covenants are honoured.
Every New Zealander is entitled to common justice, therefore how long will it take to have the affects of these multibillion dollar rorts remedied.
