(each question is 1000 words)
Question 1
At FWPL, Mario remains concerned about the level of dissent
and discontent Jason is stirring up among the Galli
grandchildren. He decides to contact Simon and offer to acquire
Simon’s shares in FWPL. As managing director, Mario knows
there is a good chance that the company will soon enter into a
distribution agreement with a major retailer in the United States
that will greatly enhance the value of the business. He believes
now is the right time to make an offer for Simon’s shares,
before the deal is finalised and announced.
Mario knows that, as a director of FWPL, he owes duties to the
company. But does he owe any duties to Simon in these
circumstances?
Question 2
JV Mine Pty Ltd is 50% owned by GML. In 2009, GML was
approached by QMNE Ltd, the other shareholder in JV Mine, to
make a further major investment in JV Mine, to enable it to
develop a new copper mine. The then directors of GML
delegated to others, including a geologist, the task of obtaining
the technical information about the amount of copper that might
be able to be mined. The report prepared for the directors
indicates that the proposed investment in the mine should be
very successful. Queried by his fellow directors about the
optimistic forecasts, Mr Chester (who has a geology
qualification) assures them that all appears to be in order.
However, some of the information has been negligently
prepared. This means that, when the directors rely on the report
and invest GML’s funds in the mine, the investment will not be
as successful as the report indicates.
Have the directors of GML (or any of them) breached their duty
of care?
