This innovative collection comprises a series of chapters by noted authors on important current issues in corporate law and governance in honour of Emeritus Professor Ian Ramsay AO – Australia’s leading corporate law and governance scholar. Authors include former judges of the High Court of Australia and the Supreme Court of New South Wales, the chair of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, and prominent Australian and international academics.
The book provides extensive expert analysis of specific areas that are experiencing significant change and evolution, with an Introduction that draws together issues and themes from the in-depth analysis found in each chapter.
Themes include: (a) the impact of environmental, social and governance issues on financial regulation, corporate governance and shareholders; (b) emerging issues for statutory and general law duties of care and to act in good faith in the interests of the corporation; (c) the complexity and scope of corporate law legislation and governance; (d) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on corporate law, corporate governance and financial regulation; and (e) the impact of technology on financial regulation, corporate governance, the consumer credit sector and ASIC’s regulatory strategies.
A theme that permeates all of the chapters is the way in which the corporate form – together with corporate law and corporate governance – have adapted to change, and the ways in which they may need to be reformed further.
