WA company director accused of insider trading
Western Australian company director Malcolm John MacCormick has pleaded not guilty in the Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court to an insider trading charge.
The charges stem from an ASIC investigation into MacCormick’s alleged trading in shares in Walter Diversified Services Limited, now known as WDS Limited.
MacCormick was committed for trial to the Supreme Court of Western Australia and remains on bail.
