3

that time, Ivy and Daisy will try to convince their Helga, where they are not disclosing any kind
of information of company. Otherwise, it will be terminated their contract of employment

which may be depending on the purpose. Therefore, evidence shows the sensitive information
for business where some employees are trying to leak data. In some cases, the act of disclosing
sensitive information alone can develop as greater impact on the overall business performance.

Legal rules-
According to the given case study it has come into observation that there are various
kinds of legal issues that have been arising within company because of which not only their
brand reputation is getting damaged but it is also impacting relationship between all the four
shareholders.
First legal issue faced by Fleur Online Beauty Pty Ltd. Is that on public domain they have
declared that they are animal protection activist but despite of this given information on public
domain, their best selling product has been involved in extensive animal testing. As per the
privacy Act is important for organization to present their privacy policies to global privacy laws.
It is one of the main principle that they need to follow which is to be transparent and open. If
Fleur Online Beauty Pty Ltd. Hides the fact that their best selling product has been involved in
extensive animal testing but public information provided by them is that they are animal
protection activist. This will break their legal principle of being open and honest. This will
further result in breaking of Animal Act, 1979 (Millard, 2019). This is because it is important for
organizations to openly disclose that they were involved in animal testing and what kind of
testing is being done on Animals. Not disclosing can result in some legal consequences that can
4

be faced by company. It is one of the main responsibility of the organization to maintain validity
of information provided by them on public portal. In case any kind of information provided on
public portal is not being flowed then on the basis of that information consumers can drag
company to court legally and ask for compensation.
Another legal issue that can be faced by Fleur Online Beauty Pty Ltd. is of non-disclosure
of information issue in which Basil who was the sole shareholder of Lisab Pty Ltd. It is one of
the main legal principle of signing a contract to disclose and exchange all important information

loopholes within a contract and include a clause of disclosing important information with each
other. In such case in order to avoid future complications both the parties should involve event of
contract breach term and condition. While the contract is valid and one of those parties find that
some of the most important information is hidden from them in on the basis of this, that contract
can be discarded easily (Meigs and et. al., 2018). While signing a contract both the parties are
required to disclose their personal and relevant information to each other. So this clearly helps in
understanding that it is important that should be included and terns and condition of contract
should be reviewed twice before signing. If any kind of non-disclosure of information term is
been broken and this clause is mentioned in the contract then in such case contract can be broken
and contract braking party can be asked for compensation for the same.
