Personal Liability for Corporate Fault
Author: Corporations & Markets Advisory Committee
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780975761908
Category : Corporation law
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
"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.

Corporate Bodies and Guilty Minds
Author: William S. Laufer
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226470407
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
We live in an era defined by corporate greed and malfeasance—one in which unprecedented accounting frauds and failures of compliance run rampant. In order to calm investor fears, revive perceptions of legitimacy in markets, and demonstrate the resolve of state and federal regulators, a host of reforms, high-profile investigations, and symbolic prosecutions have been conducted in response. But are they enough? In this timely work, William S. Laufer argues that even with recent legal reforms, corporate criminal law continues to be ineffective. As evidence, Laufer considers the failure of courts and legislatures to fashion liability rules that fairly attribute blame for organizations. He analyzes the games that corporations play to deflect criminal responsibility. And he also demonstrates how the exchange of cooperation for prosecutorial leniency and amnesty belies true law enforcement. But none of these factors, according to Laufer, trumps the fact that there is no single constituency or interest group that strongly and consistently advocates the importance and priority of corporate criminal liability. In the absence of a new standard of corporate liability, the power of regulators to keep corporate abuses in check will remain insufficient. A necessary corrective to our current climate of graft and greed, Corporate Bodies and Guilty Minds will be essential to policymakers and legal minds alike. “[This] timely work offers a dispassionate analysis of problems relating to corporate crime.”—Harvard Law Review

Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Although the law recognizes and vigorously defends the separate legal identity of the corporate entity, legislative provisions have been enacted to protect the interests of corporate creditors whereby in circumstances where the company's affairs have been mismanaged to the extent that the company has become insolvent, the directors themselves may: (a) be subject to liability to contribute to, or in some instances, completely discharge the debts of the company, and (b) for the protection of the public interest be subject to disqualification proceedings under the Company Director Disqualification Act 1986, which, if successful, will prevent them from participation in the future management of a company.

The Culpable Corporate Mind
Author: Elise Bant
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1509952403
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 523
Book Description
This collection examines critically, and with an eye to reform, conceptions and conditions of corporate blameworthiness in law. It draws on legal, moral, regulatory and psychological theory, as well as historical and comparative perspectives. These insights are applied across the spheres of civil, criminal, and international law. The collection also has a deliberate focus on the 'nuts and bolts' of the law: the legal, equitable and statutory principles and rules that operate to establish corporate states of mind, on which responsibility as a matter of daily legal practice commonly depends.The collection therefore engages strongly with scholarly debates. The book also speaks, clearly and cogently, to the judges, regulators, legislators, law reform commissioners, barristers and practitioners who administer and, through their respective roles, incrementally influence the development of the law at the coalface of legal practice.
