Robson’s Annotated Corporations Legislation offers practitioners and researchers detailed explanatory commentary on the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), combining analysis of judicial construction with discussion of the policy and practice which affects a section in daily operation. 

The latest updates contain important new additions to the publication.

To assist practitioners in keeping up to date with changes in the law, the New Developments section has been updated to include Pending Legislation, Recommended Reading, and Recent Cases.

Pending Legislation summarises the progress of Bills before Parliament which affect the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) or Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (Cth), and complements the third party materials already provided in New Developments (these include Bills, Explanatory Memoranda, Second Reading Speeches, and Parliamentary debates).

Recommended Reading provides a list of recent articles that concern corporations law generally and particular provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). This allows a quick reference guide to finding more detailed discussion and analysis of areas of interest.

Recent Cases contains case digests for recent decisions that provide judicial commentary or clarification of relevant areas of law.

In addition, a Breaking News section has been added to Robson’s Annotated Corporations Legislation online to inform practitioners when high profile judgments are handed down, legislation commencement dates are announced, or when there are new ASIC releases, Class Orders, Regulatory Guides or Consultations Papers.

New annotations have been added to Chapters 2L, 2N, 2P and 5D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in recent months, adding to the extensive commentary provided in Robson’s Annotated Corporations Legislation.
