Directors’ duties are changing daily as the Government makes new laws to deal with the impact of COVID-19. However those duties have not been extinguished and it is important that responsible directors keep on top of their statutory obligations (and personal liabilities). The Australian Restructuring Insolvency and Turnaround Association (“ARITA”) has released helpful guidance for directors. These resources can be accessed via the below link:
