The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (CDPP) has determined it will discontinue proceedings against the former chief financial officer (CFO) of collapsed ASX-listed technology company Big Un Limited following a hung jury.

Charges were laid against Andrew Corner in April 2023 but were discontinued by the CDPP after a jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict following a five-week trial ending 30 March 2026.

The CDPP made the decision not to proceed with a re-trial having regard to the Prosecution Policy of the Commonwealth.

Following the CDPP’s decision, ASIC considers the matter finalised.

Big Un Limited’s former chief executive officer, Richard Evans (formerly Evertz) pleaded guilty in April 2026 to one charge of communicating inside information.
