Question 2: (for BUSN 3400 and LAWS 3210)- Members' Powers PPB Ltd has two classes of shares on issue - ordinary shares and A Class shares. Under the terms of the PPB constitution, each A Class share currently carries an entitlement to vote on any resolution to amend the company's constitution.

However , this consultant report was prepared negligently and a careful reading of the monthly management accounts and projections would show a different conclusion. The directors of NPB claim that they never approved the report but yet the report is sent to the ASX immediately after the board meeting by the Chief Financial Officer of the company. The directors do nothing to correct the notice once it is released. Have the directors (or any of them ) breached their duty of care?

In recognition of this he would like a building in the new facility to be named after him personally. One of the other directors (Peter) queries whether this is an appropriate use of corporate funds. Having regard to their duty to act in the best interests of CBW, can the directors approve the donation
