HA3021 Corporations Law Group Assignment 2020
Purpose: The Group Assignment aims to provide students with an opportunity to work in a collaborative environment in reporting on a recent Australian Corporations Law case relating to Directors Duties and breaches of Directors Duties.
You would need to form your own groups of between 3 and 5 students per group. You had been provided an instruction manual on how to create your groups via BB. Once a group has been created, please ensure you elect a leader in your group. The assignment consists of 2 parts: a 2,000 word written report and a 10 minute (maximum) in-class or video presentation.
Holmes is aware of the issues that some students are facing in forming groups for the Group Assignment. If there are extenuating circumstances which prevent you from forming a group for the Group Assignment then please contact your Unit Coordinator.
Instructions: Please read and re-read carefully to avoid mistakes.
General instructions: Read the following scenario and answer the questions that follow. There are three questions that requires to be answered.
James Burden is considering buying shares in a company, Saturday Night Live Ltd (SNL). After purchasing 1,000 shares of SNL, James received a letter (via email) from the company secretary advising him of a forthcoming annual general meeting (AGM). As a new shareholder of SNL, James has plenty of questions to SNL’s company secretary.
James rings and asks SNL’s company secretary to explain to him what is meant by the terms ‘member’ and ‘shareholder’, and the different ways in which a person may become a member. He also asks to explain who may be eligible to become a member, and how many members a company is permitted to have. Finally, James asks: how does a person cease to be a member of a company?
At the company’s annual general meeting, James bumps into the company secretary. James had observed that the notice he had received advising him of his company’s annual general meeting had stated that it would commence ‘at 1 pm’. Yet, on the day, the annual general meeting had not commenced until 1.10 pm because the chair had been delayed in traffic while trying to reach the meeting’s venue. James surmised that this delay in starting the meeting could constitute a procedural irregularity that could only be rectified by his company conducting the whole annual general meeting again.
Alan, who is the Chief Financial Officer of SNL, has become aware that the company is seeking to tender for some major renovation work needed by the company. Alan’s cousin is in the renovation business so Alan tells him of the possibility of work at SNL. Alan tells his cousin the price range that SNL will consider and something about other companies that are tendering. Alan attends the meeting where they consider who will get the tender for the repair work, but does not disclose his connection with his cousin, who has put in a tender and actually wins the contract.

Referencing is a convention of academic writing that students must follow for several reasons,
including:
acknowledging the ideas, information, and words of others;
enabling readers to judge your understanding and use of existing knowledge; avoiding accusations of plagiarism.
Correct legal citation is essential. Something as simple as the incorrect use of a bracket can change the meaning of the citation. In general terms the law comes from two sources; the decisions of courts in cases (‘case law’ or ‘common law’) and the legislation made by parliament (‘statute law’).
Holmes Institute places strong emphasis on Academic Integrity and views any forms of academic misconduct such as cheating, contract cheating and plagiarism as serious offences. Academic misconduct in any form for any form of assessment is not tolerated.
Plagiarism is any act to steal or pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own, use (another’s production) without crediting the source, and commit literary theft, present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source. Plagiarism also includes self-plagiarism, which is using your own previous work to satisfy a requirement for a new piece of work. It is the responsibility of the student who is submitting the work, to ensure that the work is in fact her/his own work. Incorporating another’s work or ideas into one’s own work without appropriate acknowledgment is an academic offence. Students should submit all assignments for plagiarism checking on Blackboard before final submission in the unit.
Plagiarism includes but is not limited to:
presentation of the work, ideas, statements or words of another as one’s own; paraphrasing without acknowledging the authorship and source through proper
citation;
direct quotation of any source material without proper citation; submitting papers written by another person as your own;
offering false, fabricated or fictitious sources or data for papers, reports, and other reference material;
this includes but is not limited to the submission of a work, in part or in whole, completed by another.
Holmes Institute does not tolerate academic misconduct. Different forms of academic misconduct attract different consequences depending on the severity of the breach of academic integrity and the student’s experience in higher education, including but not limited to whether a student has previously been in breach of academic integrity. Depending on the act of academic misconduct, the consequence may be determined by the lecturer/faculty member or representative, the Board of Examiners and/or the Academic Board.
