Freehills will question Andrew and Barry Waller, who held shares in New Tel when it collapsed and were the major shareholders of listed telecommunications company Cable & Telecom when it was taken over by New Tel in 2001.

The Wallers, meanwhile, plan to question Freehills partner Paul Evans and former Freehills partner David Woolfe, along with former New Tel managing director Peter Malone. They are seeking evidence for a claim against Freehills arising from their decision to accept New Tel’s takeover offer, based on advice from Freehills.

Under the Corporations Act, liquidators and other interested parties are permitted to conduct public examinations related to failed companies.
