This book is the first comprehensive study of the statutory derivative action in Australia, using the Australian model as a reference point and comparing it with the United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong and USA counterparts. The book includes an empirical study covering over a 20-year period from the date the statutory framework came into operation, coupled with extensive case law analysis and comparisons with other jurisdictions. It informs the world about the uniqueness of Australia’s statutory derivative action, and what other countries can learn from it as shareholder protection and promotion of good corporate governance. While some countries have statutory derivative action, there are still countries that do not have the statutory framework that are considering introducing it into their corporate law. This book is also useful for countries that already have their local variants of the statutory derivative action that are considering revising their existing provisions. This book provides insights and suggestions for lawmakers, judges, litigation practitioners and corporate law and litigation researchers worldwide in reforming their existing model.
