Chapter 9 deals with the duties of directors and officers. The focus is on corporate law duties designed to ensure that directors and officers manage competently and in the corporation’s best interests. The burgeoning statutory duties of directors and officers, imposed to ensure the attainment of other public policy objectives, such as compliance with environmental legislation, are considered, as is the expanding scope of tort liability faced by directors and officers.
