The case of Australian Securities and Investments Commission v Mariner Corporation Limited [2015] FCA 589 was based on the applicability of different sections covered under the Corporations Act, 2001 (Cth). This case is important from the viewpoint of director duties, particularly in context of the ability of directors in invoking the business judgment rule. The decision given in this case established that the bidders and the directors can be confident of not being in contravention or violation of the Corporations Act, where they make announcements of proposed takeover bids. The ruling also gave out important statements in context of risk taking by the directors.
