Preface
The two years since the 5th edition of this book have seen some significant
changes to corporate law and corporate regulation in Australia. ASIC has moved
to a user pays industry funding model, and has taken on several large financial
institutions in litigation involving market rigging, unconscionable and
misleading conduct following a lengthy debate about the appropriateness of the
corporate cultures inside Australias largest businesses. Equity and board
diversity, along with work health and safety and sexual harassment claims have
dominated headlines and shone the light into some very dark corners of
corporate Australia. Insider trading, continuous disclosure, directors duty of
care and diligence and shareholder activism have also featured heavily in
significant corporate law decisions over the past two years.
Digital disruption and encouraging start-ups and entrepreneurialism have also
dominated headlines and been a key feature of government policy over the past
two years. The Financial System Inquiry and work by the Productivity
Commission led to the federal governments Innovation Agenda in late 2015,
which has resulted in reforms to corporate fundraising laws (crowd-sourced
equity funding, discussed in Chapter 9) and changes to director liability for
insolvent trading by introducing a new safe harbour to s 588G, which is
discussed in Chapter 18. Digital disruption has been a hot topic for several years
now, with blockchain initiatives and the increasing use of online cloud services
promising significant change for governance, risk and compliance functions
within both large and small companies. The introduction of the Insolvency Law
Reform Act 2016 (Cth), which makes significant changes to corporate insolvency
law and practice, is covered in Chapter 22.
These developments are reflected in changes to several chapters in this 6th
edition, including the introduction of new practical examples, discussion points
and problem questions. We have also introduced a new ongoing case study
which is contained at the end of each chapter (excluding Chapters 1 and 13
Corporate Governance). The new case study is designed to place corporate law
principles into their practical commercial context and aims to enhance student
understanding of how companies operate in Australia and how the law applies to
common corporate activities.
The case law developments in corporate law have been steady since the 5th
edition. Each chapter has been reviewed and updated for important recent
decisions. A number of new cases have been added to the directors duties
chapters, including ASICs actions in relation to AWB (Flugge), Sino Australia
(Shao) and Storm Financial (Cassimatis), and new cases concerning conflicts of
interest (Australian Careers), good faith (Duncan v ICAC) and shadow directors
(Akron Road). Chapter 10 has also been updated with the latest PPSA case law
and statutory amendments to the PPSA concept of a PPS lease. While new cases
have been added on all topics, as with previous editions, we have not felt the
need to include new cases simply to add currency. We have included new cases
only where they develop the law in some way or where they provide a clear
application of the core principles being discussed. We have also revised each of
the case studies used in the book and have removed some that are no longer
relevant and added other more topical points, particularly in relation to digital
fundraising and director liability.
As stated in previous editions, our aim in writing this book is to provide a
practical and useful text that will help students to understand how the multitude
of corporate law rules and principles come together, and where these issues
arise in the business world. This is a book designed to help business students
understand how corporate law operates within the broader business context. The
rules and principles are not seen as abstract commandments that must be
memorised and revered. Rather, the evolving nature of Australian corporate law
is discussed with reference to real events and real people. Readers are
challenged to consider the efficacy and fairness of the rules and principles of
corporate law through their understanding of the core principles.
We have received, and incorporated where appropriate, useful feedback from
students and academics using the book. Given the diverse nature of corporate
law subjects taught within business schools and the limitations of size and
space, we have not been able to include areas outside of corporate law (such as
competition law, tax law or general commercial law). We continue, however, to
welcome ongoing feedback from readers.
The authors have taught at several universities in New South Wales, Victoria
and the Australian Capital Territory, as well as overseas in the United Kingdom,
South Africa, India, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and the United
States. Each of the authors is an active researcher in the area of corporate law.
All three authors are actively involved with the Australian Corporate Law
Teachers Association and include members of the national executive and two
former Presidents of that body. We have attempted to use our experience in
teaching company law students to provide a textbook that explains the
principles and business context of Australian corporate law in a manner that is
accessible for the majority of students.
Where readers are searching for a more critical analysis of changing trends in
corporate law, we have attempted throughout the book to provide links and
references to further reading material particularly scholarly and practitioner
publications and useful websites. LexisNexis Butterworths has also produced a
companion website that provides a host of other useful links to articles, cases
and government reports.
Although each chapter had particular authors who bore primary responsibility,
all three authors and a number of colleagues have assisted with comments and
suggestions about the scope and detail of the work. We have many people to
thank for assisting with this project. We would like to thank the staff at
LexisNexis Butterworths for their support and assistance. We also express our
thanks to our teaching colleagues who have provided feedback on the style and
content of a number of chapters from the first edition to the publishers. We
express gratitude to Dr Marina Nehme, John Juriansz, Anne Durie and
Catherine Gordon who have worked hard to produce an excellent set of
supplementary web materials. We also express our gratitude to Michael Gorry
for his assistance in preparing flowcharts used in this and earlier editions.
Lastly, and most importantly, Jason would like to thank Cathy, Ciaran, Erin and
Katie for their love and support during the period that this edition was written.
Jason also thanks his corporate law teaching colleagues at University of
Technology Sydney, Catherine Nguyen, Colin Hawes, Michael Rawling, Robin
Bowley, Grace Li, Gao Xiang, Michael Whitehead, Philip Spence, Ian Cameron,
Helen Bakoulis and Professor Paul Redmond for their comments, suggestions
and general support. Anil is deeply indebted to his family and wishes to thank
Kalyani, Satyen and Rahul for their unwavering love and support during the
gestation of this book and subsequent editions where many sacrifices were
made. They had to tolerate long absences (and general absent-mindedness) and
are forgiven for thinking that an academics life is constantly ruled by publishing
(and punishing) deadlines. Satyen and Rahul, I promise I had one eye on the ball
and one eye on my reading materials during your long and successful cricket
careers at school, club and representative levels. Anil also thanks his corporate
law colleague at UNSW, Kayleen Manwaring, for her general comments, support
and contribution to the flow chart diagrams used in the text. Michael wishes to
thank his colleagues in corporate law at his former employer, University of
Technology Sydney, the Governance Institute of Australia (formerly Chartered
Secretaries Australia) professional body and the Western Sydney University. He
acknowledges the love and support of his family, Melissa, Lucy and Jessica.
We have worked on the law as available to us up to 1 October 2017.
