WEBINAR From Ideas to Action: What Interim Report C means for you

Restructuring and reframing the legislative framework for financial services

Monday 10 July 2023 at 1.00pm AEST

Everyday objects are easier to use if they are well designed. The same is true of the law.

Join the ALRC to examine Interim Report C and what it means for you. Hear about the ALRC’s proposals for restructuring Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act and creating a Financial Services Law, in pursuit of a more user-friendly legislative framework for financial services.

Ask questions, as the panel outlines further detail about how the key reforms proposed by the ALRC — including the ALRC’s proposed legislative model discussed in Interim Report B — may be implemented.

Topics of discussion include:

• Why does the structure and framing of legislation matter?
• What are the problems with the current structure of Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act?
• How can financial services legislation be made easier to navigate and understand?

Chair:

• The Hon Justice Craig Colvin, Part-time Commissioner, Australian Law Reform Commission and Judge, Federal Court of Australia

Panel:

• Christopher Ash, Principal Legal Officer, ALRC
• Ellie Filkin, Legal Officer, ALRC
• Nicholas Simoes da Silva, Senior Legal Officer, ALRC
