Abstract: Two recent remarkably similar cases in the New Zeal and and Australian courts have come to quite different conclusions on the common law requirement for directors to exercise due care and skill and the extent to which in exercising those duties they can rely on experts. Comparison of the two judgements highlights the issues.
