On Thursday 28 November, the CPD Seminar series discussed ‘The Bell Settlement: Where are we now’.
The settlement of the Bell Group case (Westpac Banking Corp v The Bell Group Ltd (in liq) (No 3) [2012] WASCA 157) leaves several important areas of corporate law and accessorial liability in a state of uncertainty. The Court of Appeal’s split decision in Bell gives rise to significant issues for company directors and executives, creditors and external advisors that are in need of clarification. This seminar discussed what the current state of the law on directors and officers duties in corporate groups is, and why the Bell decision leaves that position in an unsatisfactory state.
