Governance and interests
Court granted relief after inadvertent late ASIC notices
2023–2024 · documented · high materiality
In August 2024 the Federal Court addressed late ASIC notices concerning a 2023 share issue and the March 2024 resignation of a director. The court found Deterra and secretary Kerr acted honestly, the non-compliance was inadvertent, and she acted promptly to rectify it and adopted a new practice. The court granted relief from civil liability.
Attribution: Individual involvement documented. The judgment identifies Kerr’s direct administrative role and expressly finds honesty and inadvertence; no dishonesty or other misconduct is implied.
Relevance: Relevant, resolved governance-control episode and documented corrective action.
