Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, grade: A, Victoria University of Wellington, course: LLM Research Paper, Master Abschlussarbeit, language: English, abstract: This essay deals with directors’ duties, focusing on the duties that specially arise in the context of a company becoming insolvent. The relevant duties are those under sections 131, 135 and 136 of the Companies Act 1993. The drafting of these insolvent trading provisions in New Zealand has been criticised in the legal literature. This research paper considers not only this criticism but also deals with the more general debate about the value of insolvent trading provisions in general. Although the current drafting of the relevant provisions in New Zealand is not without minor flaws, the need for creditor protection requires the maintenance of insolvent trading provisions in general. Besides that, this essay looks at the remedies for breaches of directors’ duties. The most important provision in this context is s 301 Companies Act 1993. Pursuant to this provision both the liquidator and individual creditors can enforce directors’ civil liability. However, the possibilities of individual creditors to obtain payment directly to themselves are restricted. The final part of this essay considers the question whether a separate duty directly owed to individual creditors should be introduced. Although such a duty seems to have some benefits, it would not be commensurate with leading principles and ideas of Insolvency Law and should therefore not be introduced. It is the concern of this research paper to point out the many issues that arise in context of directors’ duties and insolvency law and to show that it is important to strike an appropriate balance between the intended creditor protection and the entrepreneurial freedom of company directors.

Book excerpt: It has never been more important for directors and management to have a clear understanding of directors' duties.

Download or read book Liability of Directors in New Zealand written by Susan Watson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The risk of company directors in New Zealand being found liable for corporate fault has expanded in recent years. An increasing number of statutory provisions provide for liability for directors. When the Companies Act 1993 was introduced, it was accompanied by howls of outrage from those who felt the duties of directors set out in that Act would make directorship unattractive and those who became directors hamstrung and excessively risk-adverse. A decade and a half on, such fears have proven to be largely unfounded. The increased risk of liability for directors does not appear to reflect any considered policy on imposing liability on directors for corporate actions. Instead, the provisions have been enacted on an ad hoc basis, with existing models adapted to new regulatory issues. While a number of individual provisions, especially section 135 of the Companies Act 1993, have received not inconsiderable judicial and academic comment, there has not been a systematic study of either the approach or the consequences of imposing liability on directors in New Zealand. The chapter begins with a brief account of the New Zealand legal system. It then provides an overview of New Zealand company law and the relationship between directors and their companies. The following section discusses the principles of the general law under which directors may be found liable for the acts or omissions of their companies. The next section examines the liability of directors for corporate fault in the most important legal areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2000. The law relating to directors’ duties has fundamental implications across the business environment and yet few areas of business law have received so little detailed examination. This text provides fresh and incisive insights to the rules applying in ten major economic jurisdictions within Europe, with respect to directors’ legal obligations and liabilities. Written by the foremost figures in the field, each contribution outlines the statutory provisions that affect the work of company directors in each jurisdiction, including general legislation and specific laws covering the status of incorporated bodies. Fully illustrated with case-law examples the book provides a guide to the range of measures which national courts may provide for participants in corporate life seeking remedies for unsatisfactory governance of companies. It also features guidance on the specific bases for criminal and civil liabilities and examples of the range of penalties to which directors might be subject. The result is a work of unprecedented detail which will be welcomed by practitioners in the corporate sector, academics and researchers alike.
