Directors Duties: lessons from ASIC v Bekier [2026] FCA 196

The Federal Court’s decision in ASIC v Bekier & Ors [2026] FCA 196 is a significant reminder for directors and officers of the elements of their duty of care under s180(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act). It provides a useful illustration of the roles and responsibilities between management and non-executive directors and the factors that will be considered by the Courts when determining liability. The proceeding was brought by ASIC against 11 past directors and officers of The Star Entertainment Group Limited (Star).

Flexible work and EPL risk: lessons from recent Fair Work Commission decisions

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many workplaces are encouraging employees to return to the office to reinforce the importance of collaborative, face-to-face work and promote a positive workplace culture.  
As a result, many workplaces are implementing and re-examining their internal hybrid work models and flexible working policies to ensure they align with the current work landscape post-COVID-19.  
As organisations reassess hybrid working models, disputes are increasingly being heard before the Fair Work Commission. The outcomes of these matters provide timely guidance on how employment practices are being scrutinised and where risk is emerging from an EPL perspective.
