Abstract

In September 2006, the Corporations and Markets Advisory Committee (CAMAC) released a report on Personal Liability for Corporate Fault (the report). CAMAC reviewed circumstances in which directors or other individuals involved in managing companies can incur personal criminal liability as a result of a company's misconduct. It reviewed legislation dealing with environmental protection (as well as occupational health and safety, hazardous goods and fair trading laws). The report concluded that there are a broad range of statutory tests within and between jurisdictions for imposing personal liability for corporate misconduct.
