Download or read book Public and Private Enforcement of Securities Laws written by Michael Legg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book undertakes unique case studies, including interviews with participants, as well as empirical analysis, of public and private enforcement of Australian securities laws addressing continuous disclosure. Enforcement of laws is crucial to effective regulation. Historically, enforcement was the province of a government regulator with significant discretion (public enforcement). However, more and more citizens are being expected to take action themselves (private enforcement). Consistent with regulatory pluralism, public and private enforcement exist in parallel, with the capacity to both help and hinder each other, and the achievement of the goals of enforcement in a range of areas of regulation. The rise of the shareholder class action in Australia, backed by litigation funding or lawyers, has given rise to enforcement overlapping with that of the government regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The ramifications of overlapping enforcement are explained based on detailed analysis. The analysis is further bolstered by the regulator's approach to enforcement changing from a compliance orientation to a “Why not litigate?” approach. The analysis and ramifications of the Australian case studies involve matters of regulatory theory and practice that apply across jurisdictions. The book will appeal to practitioners, regulators and academics interested in regulatory policy and enforcement, and the operation of regulators and class actions, including their interaction.

Download or read book Commercial Arbitration in Australia written by Doug Jones and published by Lawbook Company. This book was released on 2011 with total page 626 pages.

Book excerpt: Commercial Arbitration Law in Australia provides an essential and timely guide to domestic commercial arbitration in Australia following the 2010 decision by the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General (SCAG) to enact new uniform commercial arbitration acts in each jurisdiction. The new uniform legislation uses the UNICTRAL Model Law as its basis with deviations necessary for the Australian domestic setting and has already been enacted in New South Wales. These substantive and procedural changes to Australia's existing domestic arbitration law make a new and comprehensive text on this topic essential. Commercial Arbitration Law in Australia will provide the reader with: a background to the reform process, in-depth consideration of relevant case law from around the world, as influenced by the UNCITRAL Model Law, Australian jurisprudence on arbitration law and practice, A section-by-section commentary on the new Commercial Arbitration Act 2010 (NSW), which follows the SCAG's model provisions, and discussion of alternative forms of dispute resolution. This work is a 'must have' for anyone involved in commercial dispute resolution in Australia whether as a party to the arbitration, counsel, neutral or student.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic activity is more globally integrated than ever before, but so is the scope of corporate misconduct. As more and more people across the world are affected by such malfeasance, the differences in legal redress have become increasingly visible. This transparency has resulted in a growing convergence towards an American model of robust private enforcement of the law, including the class-action lawsuit. This handbook brings together scholars from nearly two dozen countries to describe and assess the class-action procedure (or its equivalent) in their respective countries and, where possible, to offer empirical data on these systems. At the same time, the work presents a variety of multidisciplinary perspectives on class actions, from economics to philosophy, making this handbook an essential resource to academics, lawyers, and policymakers alike.

Download or read book Shareholder Actions written by Andrew Charman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shareholder Actions is a comprehensive guide to the possible actions shareholders may be entitled to pursue, on whichever side of the dispute they might be involved. As well as unfair prejudice and derivative actions, and the many personal actions arising from the Companies Act 2006, the book covers actions based in common law and equity, as well as actions based in other statutory law. It also explores occurences of directors owing fiduciary duties directly to shareholders and the 'no reflective loss' rule providing a clear view of its scope, but also its limitations. The book refers to judgments in other related jurisdictions when it is necessary to substantiate a submission not already fully and authoritatively addressed by English law. Scottish cases are referred to where the House of Lords or Supreme Court have dealt with an issue, or where the point of law overlaps with English law. There are separate chapters on taxation issues, shareholder claims in Australia, due the large cross pollination between English and Australian law and, for comparative purposes, on Canada where a very different approach is taken with its common law based system and South Africa. In addition to an expanded section on procedure with detailed consideration of the availability of interlocutory relief, the new 3rd edition also covers significant developments in case law that there have been since the 2nd edition including in relation to: - Directors' duties, eg Julien v Evolving Technologies; Popely v Popely; Auden McKenzie (Pharma) Ltd v Patel; Re System Building Services Group; Dickinson v NAL Realisations (Staffordshire) Ltd and in the continuing Sharp v Blank litigation - Remedies following directors' breaches of duties, eg CPS v Aquila Advisory Ltd and in Interactive Technology v Fester - Derivative claims, eg Sevilleja Garcia v Marex Financial Ltd and Homes of England Ltd v Nick Bellman (Holdings) Ltd - Unfair prejudice petitions, eg Re G&G Properties Ltd; re Bankside Hotels Ltd, aka Griffith v Gourgey; George v McCarthy and Allnutt v Nags Head Reading Ltd - Just and equitable winding up, eg Chu v Lau - The doctrine of the non-recoverability of reflective loss, eg the decisions of both the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal in the important case of Sevilleja Garcia v Marex Financial Ltd where this was considered and ultimately refined; and Re Hut Group Ltd, aka Zedra Trust Co (Jersey) Ltd v Hut Group Ltd - Access to company registers, eg Houldsworth Village Management v Barton - The liability of parent companies for the actions of their subsidiaries in Vedanta Resources Plc and Another v Lungowe This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Company and Commercial Law online service.
