Gold producer Newcrest Mining has agreed to a $A36m out-of-court settlement in a class action over its disclosure standards. The case was scheduled to begin on 29 February 2016, but Newcrest has decided that a settlement is in the best interests of shareholders. Plaintiff law firm Slater & Gordon initiated a class action on behalf of shareholders with regard to Newcrest’s breach of continuous disclosure requirements in 2012 and 2013.
