Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper discusses the circumstances in which directors and corporate managers may be personally liable for corporate misconduct in consequence of the positions they hold or the functions they perform in their corporations. This derivative form of liability arises without the need to establish that these persons either breached the law through their own misconduct or were accessories to the misconduct of their corporation. The paper reviews a range of Commonwealth, State and Territory statutes that impose derivative liability and puts forward for discussion possible model provisions to balance the public interest goals of the legislation and the rights of affected individuals." -- p. 1.

Covering nearly fifty jurisdictions worldwide (including eight not previously covered), the third edition affords senior lawyers in major firms the opportunity to provide concise, detailed, and easy-to-understand summaries on his or her home law on directors’ liability. Authors whose research appeared in earlier editions have updated their chapters, and the case law summarized and analysed now reflects published cases through the end of March 2016. The contributions describe the relevant law in force in each particular jurisdiction, along with an insightful discussion of trends and future prospects. For each of the different jurisdictions the authors detail and explain such factors as the following: - national legal theories of director liabilities; - recent cases dealing with directors’ liability; - corporate governance; and - indemnification and insurance. Where applicable, coverage also includes the legal implications of jurisdictional variations in such matters as judicial review, lawyer directorship, directors’ reliance on outside professionals, and the effect of the European Action Plan. References have been thoroughly updated throughout, and include many new online sources. This publication will be of enormous value to legal practitioners, whether in private practice or in the legal department of a globally active company, as a comprehensive and easy means of access to the law of foreign jurisdictions on directors’ liability.

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.

Download or read book Practitioner s Guide to Global Investigations written by Judith Seddon and published by Law Business Research Ltd.. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 987 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's never been a greater likelihood a company and its key people will become embroiled in a cross-border investigation. But emerging unscarred is a challenge. Local laws and procedures on corporate offences differ extensively - and can be contradictory. To extricate oneself with minimal cost requires a nuanced ability to blend understanding of the local law with the wider dimension and, in particular, to understand where the different countries showing an interest will differ in approach, expectations or conclusions. Against this backdrop, GIR has published the second edition of The Practitioner's Guide to Global Investigation. The book is divided into two parts with chapters written exclusively by leading names in the field. Using US and UK practice and procedure, Part I tracks the development of a serious allegation (whether originating inside or outside a company) - looking at the key risks that arise and the challenges it poses, along with the opportunities for its resolution. It offers expert insight into fact-gathering (including document preservation and collection, witness interviews); structuring the investigation (the complexities of cross-border privilege issues); and strategising effectively to resolve cross-border probes and manage corporate reputation.Part II features detailed comparable surveys of the relevant law and practice in jurisdictions that build on many of the vital issues pinpointed in Part I.
