Dear Colleagues,
Please find below an invitation to a blended
conference on corporate responsibility, to be held on 22 February 2024 here in
Perth, Western Australia. It is the culmination of my 4-year Australian
Research Council project into corporate fraud (or, rather, the means by which
we can establish corporate mental states required for various common law and
statutory conceptions of fraud, broadly construed). It follows that, although
it concerns corporate attribution and responsibility mechanisms, there will be plenty
of interest in it for private law scholars and practitioners more generally.
Hopefully, notwithstanding time zones and
distance, we may see some ODGers join us remotely for what I hopefully will be
very stimulating event. For those interested in visiting this fair part of the
world at that time of year, do bring your towel and bathers 😊.
My website https://unravellingcorporatefraud.com/ gives a decent snapshot of the work, for those who are interested but
cannot attend.
Of course, I would also be very grateful for
you sharing this with other (perhaps specialist corps law) colleagues who might
be interested. The program is also attached, for convenience.
Best wishes,
Elise

We
are pleased to invite you to the 2024 Unravelling Corporate Fraud
Conference, sponsored by HFW and the University of Western Australia Law
School. The conference will be held on Thursday 22 February 2024 at
HFW, Perth and online. Unravelling Corporate Fraud presents and debates the research
findings and recommendations of Professor Bant's Australian Research Council grant project into corporate responsibility. Five panel sessions involving
eminent experts in the field will unpick the conditions and laws that have
enabled corporations committing commercial fraud to evade effective
regulation. These include uncertainty and apathy over the nature and reform
of corporate culture, the practical failure of existing attribution models to
adapt to the reality of modern corporate actors, and the role of legal
counsel. The conference will enable participants to understand and assess
Bant's novel model of corporate responsibility entitled 'Systems
Intentionality', which aims to provide a principled and practical way forward
for common law jurisdictions. The conference will also shed light on how this
model can support the new darlings of corporate liability reform, the
'Failure to Prevent' offences. It offers a unique opportunity for all
stakeholders, across the corporate and legal fields of practice, to
understand the ethical, practical and legal implications of this dynamic
research. In
person registrations will be strictly limited and will attract 5 CPD point
for full day attendance. Remote participation is welcome, however only WA
participants will attract CPD points. This conference is run on a
not-for-profit basis, all unspent registration funds being donated for the
research activities of the University of Western Australia Law School. Follow this link for detailed program and information on registration. |
