Judgments and Proceedings against Directors in 2024

Tim Bednall, Head of Governance at King & Wood Mallesons and panel will analyse key judgments and proceedings against directors in Australian courts and tribunals, including proceedings instigated by ASIC, private litigants and WHS regulators. They will discuss:

• Various breaches of directors' duties under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), with a particular emphasis on the duty of care and diligence, the duty of good faith, and continuous disclosure breaches.
• ASIC's intensified focus on continuous disclosure obligations.
• The significant consequences that can arise from a finding of a breach of these duties.

You will gain valuable insights into how the evolving expectations around directors' duties impact the role and obligations of directors. Further information can be found in KWM’s Annual Digest Of Judgments And Proceedings Against Directors.
