This edition retains the logical structure and comprehensive approach of earlier editions. It has been updated throughout to include discussion of the most recent relevant legislative developments, inclduing the following. The Corporations Legislation Amendment (Deregulatory and Other Measures) Act 2015 (Cth), which: removes the obligation of directors to call and hold a general meeting at the request of 100 shareholders; requires companies to include a general description of their remuneration governance framework; and exempts certain companies limited by guarantee from the need to appoint an auditor.

Under the Bill it is proposed to: give creditors enhanced powers to protect their own interests by giving them the right to determine when and what information they are provided by an insolvency practitioner; give creditors the power to appoint an independent specialist to review the performance of an insolvency practitioner and resolve to remove that practitioner without having to seek the approval of the Court; and require insolvency practitioners to undergo enhanced insolvency education, renew their registration every three years, have appropriate insurance as a condition of registration and establish a new liquidators disciplinary process. The Treasury Legislation Amendment (Spring Repeal Day) Bill 2015 (Cth), which proposes to: reduce the number of business identifiers by replacing the Australian Company Number (ACN) with an Australian Business Number (ABN) for companies registered after 1 July 2016; and change the notification and reporting obligations of managed investment schemes in receivership.
