Legislation:
Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth), s 52

A key rationale of the CLERP Act 1999 is to increase certainty in respect to liability of company directors and encourage corporate innovation through the introduction of a business judgment rule (BJR). Overseas experience, however, suggests a BJR may only serve to lower the standard of care required from corporate officers
