Not that the best publicity to herald Kinghorn’s desire to rebuild RHG’s loan book.

RHG Limited’s latest court battle comes after its victory in the NSW Supreme Court in September over a separate matter. In that case, the John Kinghorn-chaired home lender, once known as RAMS, beat off claims from a defaulting mortgagee. One claim was that RHG had misrepresented its loans in the ads that used to star a talking ram called Raymond who ”undertook to keep interest rates lower than the big banks”. In a DVD provided by the defendant, Raymond said: ”RAMS has always been known for its low rates. So we’ve kept our standard variable interest rates lower than any of the big banks.” The argument did not sway the judge.

The court ordered the defendant to give RHG possession of the land over which the mortgage applied.
