Topics covered in weeks 1-13 are covered, although emphasis will be placed on weeks 9-13 inclusive. This assessment task has two components: 1) Summarize a recent appellate court decision; 2) research and write an essay, which addresses an issue that emerges from that case
Question 1: Essay worth 25 marks (1250 words maximum)
How have Australian legislatures and courts determined the circumstances in which a company will be found to be criminally liable for the acts of its agents, particularly its directors? In your answer, consider at least four decisions of Australian courts handed down since 1975.
Question 2: Case Summary & Analysis worth 25 marks (1250 words maximum)
Summarise and interpret the very recent Western Australian Court of Appeal decision in Carey v Commissioner for Consumer Protection [2013] WASCA 195 (handed down on 28 April 2014). To what extent do you think this decision will reduce the likelihood of a repeat of the conduct that contributed to the Westpoint corporate collapse? A possible structure for your case summary and analysis (with examples) can be found in your Sanson textbook (2nd ed.) pp59-67.
