The NSW LPAB has responded in writing to the story below, about Top Education Group Ltd , which trades as Australian National Institute of Management and Commerce. A copy was sent to its chairman NSW Chief Justice Andrew Bell and hence the response.
The Board also records in its Annual Report every year the accreditation processes undertaken during the previous financial year.
The re-accreditation for Australian National Institute of Management and
Commerce’s Bachelor of Laws will be reported in the 2024-25 Annual Report, which
will be released next year.
Clarification was sought as to when exactly e re-accreditation was granted. In response the NSW LPAB said via email:
The Australian National Institute of Management and Commerce’s Bachelor of Laws was reaccredited by the Board at its meeting on 8 October 2024.
This reaccreditation will be reported in the 2024-25 Annual Report, which will be drafted after 30 June 2025 and published towards the end of 2025.
Top Group's law school accreditation expired on 30 June 2024 students but students and prospective students of its law school appear not to have been informed that their law school had not been granted reaccreditation by the due date.
Top was also in breach of HKSE continuous disclosure rules, for the HKEX was never informed of the above delay.
The NSW LPAB has not said anything about the reasons for the delay. It does add to the fishy smell around the granting and continued reaccreditation of this license.

Communist Party China linked Top Education Group law school scandal deepens- Australian law school regulator NSW LPAB, led by NSW Chief Justice Andrew Bell refusing to say if Top's law school has been reaccredited
by Ganesh Sahathevan
Unlike previous years, Top Education Group Ltd's latest annual report says nothing of the relevant regulator, the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board (LBAP) renewing Top's license to issue law degrees, which should have expired on 30 June 2024.
The LPAB determines applications from law schools in NSW for accreditation or reaccreditation of law courses that provide the academic qualifications prerequisite. Law courses are usually a Bachelor of Laws (LLB), a Juris Doctor (JD), or in the case of the Board’s course of instruction, a Diploma in Law (DipLaw). Law School accreditations are usually for a five-year period.
Law School accreditations are usually for a five-year period. In November 2023 the Board reaccredited the following existing law courses:
• Macquarie University LLB and JD
• University of Newcastle LLB and JD
• University of Notre Dame LLB
And then, a few paragraphs down the page: '
As of 30 June 2024, apart from the LPAB’s Diploma in Law course, there were 20 accredited law courses being offered in NSW by 13 institutions:
• Australian Catholic University (LLB)
• Australian National Institute of Management and Commerce (IMC) (formerly Top Education Institute (LLB)).........
Meanwhile Top Education Group Ltd (trading as Australian National Institute Of Management And Commerce has recommenced enrolling students in its LLB course. New enrolments had been suspended in June 2019, just after re-accreditation by the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board on 29 June 2019.
Mr Bell and his NSW LPAB should not be permitted to play word games at the expense of students, prospective students and graduates of Top's law school. In addition, it does appear as if Top's share price is being manipulated with information that is more likely than not held at the NSW LPAB.

HKEX listed Top Education Group share price still showing signs of manipulation, Australian regulator NSW Legal Profession Admission Board officers are the most likely source of price sensitive information- NSW LPAB known to lack transparency despite being a public regulator
by Ganesh Sahathevan
Top Education Group Ltd's share price, which a few months ago was flat lining at HK 0.04, but with strong buying support, continues to exhibit manipulation (see Yahoo Finance chart above). The company's law school re-accreditation expires on 30 June 2024 and the apparent manipulation is similar to that witnessed in 2019 when it last received re-accreditation.
Re-accreditation is price sensitive, and that information should only be known to the NSW Department of Communities and Justice 's NSW LPAB , which has refused to answer questions about the Top Education Group Ltd ramp and dump IPO in 2018,and spike in share price prior to the re-accreditation in June 2019.

Zhu Minshen's Top Group share price spiked 26% before re-accreditation on 27 June 2019: NSW LPAB personnel should have been the only persons with knowledge of the price sensitive information
by Ganesh Sahathevan
Zhu Minshen's Top Group share price spiked 26%, from a then new record low of 0.27 HKD, to a high of 0.32 HKD in the week before re-accreditation on 27 June 2019. It continued its climb to a high of 0.36 HKD, from which it has since sunk to a new record low of 0.22 HKD.
NSW LPAB personnel should have been the only persons with knowledge of that price sensitive information; with regards the results of the review, and the date of notification.

Zhu Minshen announces that NSW LPAB review "went smoothly": AG NSW Mark Speakman and officers unconcerned by Clive Hamilton's disclosures of threats, intimidation and defiance of AFP directives ,share price collapse
The LPAB''s tick of approval does not seem to have reversed the downward trend in share price.Indeed it does look as if the LPAB has ignored all together the fact that Top's market capitalisation has collapsed since listing. Note that Top's shareprice has fallen 14.29% over the past month,compared to 1.13% for the overall market as measured by the Hang Seng Index
In the words of Zhu Minshen, chairman and CEO of his Top Education Group Ltd:
Bachelor of Law Re-accreditation
The scheduled re-accreditation process of our Bachelor of Laws (‘‘LLB’’) went smoothly. On 27 June 2019, TOP received formal notification from the Legal Profession Admission Board of New South Wales (‘‘LPAB’’) to accredit TOP’s LLB for a further five-year period commencing from the notification date.
(TOP EDUCATION GROUP LTD
ANNOUNCEMENT OF ANNUAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019)
All this despite the revelations of open defiance of an AFP directive, threats and intimidation disclosed in Clive Hamilton's "Silent Invasion",which have been previously reported on this blog:
In his 2018 book "Silent Invasion" Professor Clive Hamilton reports that Top Education Group's Zhu Minshen organised students , including students from his Top Education Institute to protest against Tibetans at the 2008 rally , which counted towards the Top students’ assessment. Zhu’s Top Institution is “perhaps the only accredited degree program in Australia that counts agitating for a foreign power towards its qualifications.”
Hamilton provides details of Zhu's Communist Party China antecedents and his organisation of the 30,000 strong demonstration by Chinese students at the Canberra torch relay, many of them brandishing Chinese flags.
