Michael Legg is a Professor in the Faculty of Law & Justice at the University of New South Wales. He specialises in complex civil litigation, including regulatory litigation and class actions. He is the author Public and Private Enforcement of Securities Laws - The Regulator and the Class Action in Australia’s Continuous Disclosure Regime, published by Hart (2022) and co-author of Corporate Misconduct and White-Collar Crime in Australia (Thomson Reuters, 2022). He is admitted to practice in Australia (NSW) and the United States (New York Bar). Michael is a member of the Australian Academy of Law and the Law Council of Australia's Class Actions Committee.

Michael’s revised annotations to Chapter 6CA were published in the October 2023 update, including the addition of annotations for ss 674A (Continuous disclosure – listed disclosing entity bound by a disclosure requirement in the market listing rules – knowledge, recklessness or negligence) and 678 (Application of Criminal Code to offences based on subsection 674(2), 674(5) or 675(2)). 

This update to Chapter 6CA significantly revises the annotations to reflect amendments to the continuous disclosure regime brought about by the Treasury Laws Amendment (2021 Measures No 1) Act 2021 (Cth) which introduced a fault element to the civil penalty provisions.

In Robson's Annotated Corporations Legislation, detailed annotations accompany the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Commentary from expert specialist lawyers working with, and analysing, the law considers how provisions and wording have been interpreted by the courts under the current Act and its forerunners, in a range of contexts. This depth and range is essential in practice for Australia’s corporations legislation is particularly complex in its wording and in its interpretation.
