SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Corporations Law Lecture 2023: The responsibility of shareholders
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Corporations Law Lecture 2023: The responsibility of shareholders\nIn-person event\n  \nIn 1911\, Justice Louis Brandeis argued that: \n‘…there is no such thing as an innocent purchaser of stocks. It is entirely contrary…to what ought to be our whole attitude towards investments\, that the person who has a chance for profit by going into an enterprise … should have the chance of gain without any responsibility’. \nThis lecture asks whether\, over a century later\, it is now time to revisit that proposition. The lecture will consider whether shareholders should bear responsibility for the actions of the companies in which they hold shares. If so\, is that just a moral responsibility\, or can it also have a legal dimension? And\, if legal\, should the law simply facilitate greater shareholder responsibility\, or should it be mandated? \nAbout the speaker\nEmeritus Professor Stephen Bottomley (ANU College of Law) \nEmeritus Professor of Commercial Law\, Stephen Bottomley is an expert in corporate law with particular emphasis on corporate governance. His main areas of research interest are corporate governance\, and law and regulation.
