Q2. Johan and Marsha are the directors of JM Building Pty Ltd. Johan is the MD and controls all aspects of the business, whilst his wife Marsha does not concern herself with the company at all. Marsha is aware however that the company has severe financial problems. Last month, Johan purchased $100, 000 worth of building supplies on 30- day credit terms in the company's name from Honest Hardware Ltd. Despite numerous demands for the money to be repaid on terms, the debt has not been paid. Honest Hardware Ltd has successfully applied to the court to have JM Building Pty Ltd wound up.

Discuss whether the liquidator of JM Building Pty Ltd can make both Johan and Marsha personally liable for all the company's unpaid debts. Do Johan and Marsha have any defences/safe harbours?
