Statutory Review of the Meetings and Documents Amendments

This is a submission to the Meetings and Documents Review by the Corporations Committee of the Business Law Section of the Law Council of Australia (the Committee) with input from the Financial Services Committee of the Business Law Section.

At the outset, the Committee wishes to record its view that the measures contained in Schedule 1 of the Treasury Laws (2021 Measures No.1) Act 2021 (Cth) and the Corporations Amendment (Meetings and Documents) Act 2022 (Cth) have been overwhelmingly beneficial. However, as our submission will note below, there is a question as to whether the measures went far enough to facilitate online meetings for Australian companies and registered managed investment schemes.

Attached to this submission is a schedule setting out specific responses to the consultation questions posed by the Panel. Set out immediately below are comments on two specific issues raised during the Roundtable Meeting held by the Panel in Sydney on 1 July 2024.

Read the full submission below.
