Grimaldi v Chameleon Mining NL (No 2)

The Full Federal Court comprehensively restated Australian accessory (Barnes v Addy) and fiduciary liability: the second-limb 'knowing assistance' claim continues to require knowledge of a dishonest and fraudulent design (the Australian knowledge-based test affirmed in Farah Constructions v Say-Dee, not the English objective-dishonesty test of Royal Brunei v Tan), and a person who acts as a director in substance (a de facto or shadow director/officer) is subject to fiduciary and statutory directors' duties.
