Case Law or Statutory Civil Liability of the Directors of Vintage Dress in Relation to Breach of Contract Act
Question
Tavid, Suzan and Dilara are the only shareholders and directors of Vintage Wedding Dress Boutique Pty Ltd (Vintage Dress) which sew and sell vintage boutique dresses. Tavid, Suzan and Dilara each have one-third equal share in Vintage Dress.
You should note the following regarding Vintage Dress:
- Tavid is a non-executive director and is a qualified accountant and the Chief Financial Officer. Tavid also sits on many board and sews the dresses.
- Suzie is the Managing Director of Vintage Dress and sells the dresses.
- Dilara is a non-executive director and never attends any meetings and never has a reasonable excuse for not attending.
Business had been very profitable for Vintage Dress for years so it purchased many new state of the art sewing machines.
Tavid recommended that Vintage dress buy their new sewing machines from Sew West Pty Ltd. Tavid states that it is the best sewing machine to provide for the large increases in sales and sewing. Tavid does not tell Suzan and Dilara that Tavid and her daughter control Sew West Pty Ltd. Suzan knows that Tavid has some form of interest in Sew West but does not tell Dilara and does not ask for any details from Tavid.
Last month, Vintage Dress was approached by a second hand fabric dealer named Second Hand Fabric Pty Ltd which suggested that the two companies should enter into a joint venture where Second Hand Fabric would provide fabrics and Vintage Dress would sew the fabrics and they would sell the garments in the second hand fabric store. After lengthy discussions, all three directors decided that due to the expansion of vintage dress, Vintage dress did not have the facilities and resources to be able to sew the dresses for Vintage Dress and those for the Second Hand Fabric Store. Shortly afterwards, Dilara acting on her own behalf, and Second Hand Fabrics formed a new company which successfully created garments to sell in the second hand fabric store and made very large profits.
By this stage, the company started making large losses. At a board meeting in August 2015, the board considered the company’s in-house financial statements relating to the loss making investments. The financial statements have been negligently prepared and show a profit instead of a loss.
During the board meeting, Tavid didn’t draw the errors to the attention of the board, while Dilara failed to ask any questions about the financial statements, and was absent on this occasion. Due to time constraints, Suzie failed to read the financial statements, believing that Tavid would discuss the statements with her if there were any important matters requiring her attention.
The board directors do not identify the mistake and authorise further investment in the loss-making business ventures. By December 2015, Vintage Dress is insolvent.
Discuss any case law or statutory civil liability of the directors of Vintage Dress in relation to these events. What are the consequences, if any, of a breach of the Corporations Act?

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I was not aware what sort of things actually needed to be added in the research proposal and my college advisor was also not that clear. However, to my surprise the New Zealand based research proposal writer of HwA added so many important things like a brief review of literature, data collection method etc in my research proposal that not only I got an A+ grade but my paper is now showcased as a model paper in my college. Made me super proud.

I had no clue about how to write a qualitative research paper on Faulkner and so I approached TheReliableTutor.com. I was also not sure whether they could help me or not but to my surprise they started asking the right kind of questions to me. When I clarified them with my professor, she was impressed and told me that I understood the concept of a research paper. The rest of it was a walk in the park. With my professor’s inputs they provided an excellent research paper and help me get an A

The standard of education varies tremendously with nature of university and it is difficult for people to find city specific assignment help. It was a delight to find out that in HwA they provide you with city and university specific assignment help.

I was not sure on how to go ahead with my peripheral vascular diseases when I came across TheReliableTutor’s cardiovascular assignment help section. I never knew that any website had such specialized department and I was extremely thrilled. The cardiovascular nursing care experts here are very wise and provided adequate solution to the assignment. Later on also, during my course I had great help from them.
Thirza Toes Student
I was badly stuck with an argumentative term paper writing assignment when I started searching for help on the net. I never thought that I will get any sort of specialized help for the Australian universities and when HwA promised to deliver that, I thought why not? Then I chatted with the expert and she helped me out by writing and excellent term paper which helped me get great grades.
