(1) Seminar: Developments in Corporate Law,
(2) Printed Book: Corporate Law (2nd Edition) Book(1) Seminar: Developments in Corporate Law, 28 August 2024 (4pm - 6pm)
Professor Lee Pey Woan will commence the seminar by reviewing recent decisions of Singapore courts on veil-piercing. The discussion will extend to an analysis of the UK Supreme Court’s retreat from the case of Press v Petrodel case and explore alternative methods to bypass the corporate veil with particular focus on parent companies’ liabilities in negligence for the activities of their subsidiaries. Professor Lee will also draw connections between these issues and the wrongful trading and creditor-regarding duties of directors.
Professor Pearlie Koh will take up the discussion by considering the Singapore Court of Appeal’s decision in Foo Kian Beng and its possible implications for the statutory regulation of directors’ duties. The discussion will cover recent cases in the UK and New Zealand which have similarly dealt with creditor-regarding duties, and draw potential connections to the broader corporate purpose debate.
Professor Hans Tjio will conclude the formal presentations by examining financial assistance and capital maintenance, including the impact of legislative changes to the Companies Act and relevant exceptions, and the interaction with the creditor-regarding duties of directors. He will also propose an analysis of potential reform of framework for directors’ duties.
A panel discussion moderated by Ms Lock Yin Mei will follow, providing an opportunity for the speakers to engage in a comprehensive dialogue on the presented topics and address questions from the audience.
This seminar promises to offer valuable insights into the critical areas of corporate law, providing attendees with a deeper understanding of the challenges and complexities faced by corporations and their directors.
(2) Printed Book: Corporate Law (2nd Edition) Book
This second edition of Corporate Law incorporates the many changes recommended by the Companies Act Working Group (“CAWG”) in May 2019. Some of them were introduced by the Companies, Business Trusts and Other Bodies (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2023 (Act 17 of 2023). Many of these involved the digital medium, which the COVID-19 pandemic showed that businesses required, in terms of notices, meetings, voting and communication generally. Going forward, the CAWG recognised that the Companies Act 1967 should remain as technologically neutral as possible. Continuing with the theme in the first edition, we agree that legislation should, as far as possible, permit innovation and development through changes to the corporate constitution. Even if most of the Act’s provisions are mandatory as the CAWG observed, the Act is not exhaustive of how businesses can be structured. This is perhaps seen most clearly in the new forms of fundraising that have arisen outside the regulated use of shares and debentures. The courts have led the way in recognising digital assets as forms of personal property, giving investors confidence to invest in them.
Through extensive case law analysis, this book offers invaluable insights into the changing landscape of corporate law in Singapore. It discusses judicial precedents which have significantly contributed to the development of areas of corporate law in Singapore. Explored within the pages of this book are areas including, but not limited to (a) the extent of membership rights; (b) veil piercing; (c) the permissibility of boards in approving conflict transactions carried out by their directors; (d) “core” fiduciary duties; (e) shareholder oppression in rights issues and generally in relation to corporate wrongs; (f) the no‑reflective loss principle; (g) capital maintenance and share repurchases; (h) floating charges and charge registration; and (i) liquidation generally and in the context of the restructuring of business trusts and partnerships.Please note that collection of book will be on-site on the day of the seminar.
