ASIC announced today the Federal Court has declared land banking developments operated by Jamie and Dennis McIntyre were unregistered managed investment schemes.
Simon Wallace-Smith and Robert Woods of Deloitte have been appointed as joint liquidators of the unregistered managed investment schemes.
The court made orders that Jamie and Dennis McIntyre be disqualified from managing corporations and restrained from carrying on financial services for a period of 10 years each, ASIC said.
This is due to them being officers of companies that had failed, by virtue of them being wound up, and which had also repeatedly contravened the Corporations Act, ASIC added.
Both Jamie and Dennis McIntyre agreed to the banning orders made against them.
Further, the court made orders to wind up the unregistered managed investment schemes, which were promoted and advertised by the 21st Century land banking companies.

• Botanica, located at 805 Archer Rd, Kialla, Victoria 3631
