The case of WHITLAM v ASIC discusses the breach of director duties under the Corporations Act. The court decision impacted the governance of Australian companies and led to the implementation of policies to improve ethical and good governance culture. The duties breached include sections 181, 232(5), 232(6), 250A(c). The court decision found that Mr Whitlam breached some of the laws of the Corporations Act. However, the Court of Appeal reversed the order but still left some possibility that Mr Whitlam deliberately did not sign the poll papers.
