Almost a month after being ordered to delay the grand opening of its Crown Sydney development and Australian casino operator Crown Resorts Limited is now reportedly facing a class-action lawsuit from a group of disgruntled shareholders.
According to a report from Inside Asian Gaming citing an earlier story from The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, the unhappy investors filed the legal action with the Victoria Supreme Court on Friday amid claims that the value of their associated holdings had been significantly depressed as a direct result of bungling by the casino company’s senior management. The source moreover detailed that the complaint being managed by local law firm Maurice Blackburn Lawyers is purportedly seeking an order that would oblige Crown Resorts Limited to compensate the plaintiffs via a share buy-back initiative.
