Description

[Despite massive efforts at law reform in the last 15 years and continuous tweaking, the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) remains, as Sir Anthony Mason found it, 'indigestible and incomprehensible'. The state of the legislation is at odds with the dynamism of the Australian economy over this same period and raises some intriguing questions. Is corporations law not just 'trivial', as Bernard Black provocatively suggested a few years ago, but completely irrelevant? In this case, does law not matter, not a whit? Is corporate law reform not worth the economic candle? Why is consistency and coherency in business law not valued in Australia?
