Treasury is consulting on exposure draft legislation which implements 2 recommendations made by the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) in Interim Report A of its Inquiry into the Legislative Framework for Corporations and Financial Services Regulation and 3 recommendations from the ALRC’s Interim Report B.

The draft legislation is in addition to the amendments to simplify the corporations and financial services law contained in the Treasury Laws Amendment (Modernising Business Communications and Other Measures) Bill 2022, which Government introduced to Parliament on 23 November 2022.

While the forecast of a simplified Corporations Act is good news, in the meantime it is still getting bigger.

Here is a photo of my hard copy which has grown from 1 volume (including Regulations) to 2 volumes, updated to 1 November 2022.
