Dear Australian Securities and Investments Commission,

ASIC has commenced proceedings in the Federal Court (Sydney) in relation to misconduct by NULIS Nominees (Australia) Ltd following testimony given in the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry.

The document or documents I seek are those that identify the Counsel who ASIC are or will be briefing in relation to this matter.

I am not seeking any documents related to allegations or evidence to be tendered to the Federal Court - just documents disclosing the identity of Counsel.

Yours faithfully,

Phillip Sweeney

Dear Mr Sweeney,

A response to your FOI request received by ASIC on 26 November 2018 was sent to you on 17 December 2018. However, the email correspondence was inadvertently sent to an incorrect Right to Know email address (i.e. to the Right to Know email intended for replies for another FOI request received from you by ASIC on 5 December 2018).

ASIC wishes to express its sincere apologies for this oversight. Accordingly, I have attached ASIC's response addressed to you dated 17 December 2018.

Kind regards,

Jessica Zhang
