The Federal Court is slated to rule on a proposed class action settlement concerning Willmott Forests and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) on 23 July 2015. Some 3,500 investors have participated in the four-year class action against the fail management investment scheme operator and CBA. However, CBA has been criticised by Australian Greens senator Peter Whish-Wilson for requiring class action participants to pay penalty interest rates on their loans.
