+As discussed here: http://www.nabble.com/Companion-object-constructor-visibility-td24342096.html
+
+//Simplified example:
+
+    class Foo private (val value : Int)
+
+    abstract class Bar(val ctor : (Int) => Foo)
+
+    object Foo extends Bar(new Foo(_)) //<--- ILLEGAL ACCESS
+
+//however the following is legal:
+
+    class Foo private (val value : Int)
+
+    abstract class Bar{
+
+        var ctor : (Int) => Foo
+
+    }
+
+    object Foo extends Bar{
+
+        ctor = new Foo(_) //<--- Legal access
+
+    }
+
+The constructor invocation of Bar is done within the scope of object Foo's constructor, and therefor the private constructor of Foo should be visible and accessible.
