QLD:Eddy Groves wants separate trial: court

Former ABC Learning Centres boss EDDY GROVES and CEO MARTIN KEMP want to be tried separately
on charges relating to the collapse of Australia's biggest childcare chain, a court has
heard.

GROVES was committed in February in the Brisbane Magistrates Court to stand trial on
one count of breaching the Corporations Act by using his position dishonestly as a director.

KEMP has also been committed on two counts of breaching the Corporations Act.

The charges follow a two-year investigation after ABC Learning collapsed beneath $1.6
billion of debt in November 2008.
