The Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) published an update that the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (CDPP) has discontinued charges laid against Jennifer Joan Hutson, a former director of G8 Education Limited. Ms Hutson’s trial had been scheduled to proceed in the District Court of Queensland, but the CDPP discontinued the charges following a further review of the matter. ASIC referenced earlier releases (18-088MR and 20-172MR) for background.
