Despite the corporate veil, there are many ways in which a director can be personally liable for activities the company which they direct. One such ground is misleading and deceptive conduct pursuant to section 18 of the Australian Consumer Law (Cth) (ACL). This question of personal liability is of concern to conservative and risk averse directors who attempt to strike the delicate balance between governance and entrepreneurialism. Misleading and deceptive conduct can occur in a variety of circumstances in business dealings. From misleading advertising, inaccurate projections to contractual dealings between parties. It could be as simple as making misstatement regarding a profit forecast or embellishing the outcome of a contract.

So...is it worth pursuing? Thoughts please.
