Australia: the role, responsibilities and duties of the company chairman

Judgment was delivered today by Beach J, sitting in the Federal Court, in Australian Securities and Investments Commission v Mitchell (No 2) [2020] FCA 1098: see here or here (pdf). I note the decision because of the important and lengthy discussion it contains (relative to other Commonwealth decisions) concerning the role, responsibilities and duties of the chairman of the board of directors (see, in particular, paras. [1398] to [1429]).
