Question 2 – In April 2020, the Australian Law Reform Commission (‘ALRC’) handed down its Report 136 on Corporate Criminal Responsibility. The ALRC’s report made a number of recommendations for reforming the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) as it applies to offences committed by corporations. Do you think that these reforms would provide a balanced and workable means of ensuring that corporations are accountable for serious breaches of Australian legislation?
