Cases
ZG Operations v Jamsek
Long-running contractor relationships can still be genuine contractor arrangements where the contracts and business structure support independence, but businesses should not treat that as a free pass.
Outcome: The High Court held the drivers were not employees for the Fair Work claims before it. The contracts were with the partnerships, the partnerships owned and operated the trucks, and the legal rights and obligations pointed away from employment, even though the commercial relationship was long-running and close.
ASIC v Healey
Directors need enough financial literacy and attention to company accounts to spot obvious problems. Signing reports or approvals without understanding them is not a defence.
Outcome: The Federal Court found the directors had breached their duties. The decision made clear that directors are expected to understand the business's financial position well enough to identify obvious errors and ask further questions before approving financial reports.
