Contemporary Australian Corporate Law

By Katherine Hall, Beth Susan Nosworthy, Stephen Bottomley, et al.

The rules, doctrines and policies governing corporations and financial markets are complex and ever-changing in response to global, social and commercial needs. Contemporary Australian Corporate Law is a well-established foundational text that explores these rules and laws in detail, including the history and context in which they are established, how they are developed and how they will continue to evolve in the future. The third edition has been updated to include recent developments in legislation, case law and corporate governance. Discussion of financial markets and financial services has been modified in response to changes to the Corporations Act 2001 including amendments to the continuous disclosure requirements in Chapter 6CA. It considers the recently passed Treasury Laws Amendment (Financial Market Infrastructure and Other Measures) Act 2024 which covers climate disclosure obligations. The clear structure and detailed exploration of key concepts encourages students to develop a contextual understanding of corporate law.
