...Report on Secretarial Standards Parth Haldia Introduction ! The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) has also long back introduced some set of rules and norms, which are supplementary to the Companies Act, 1956, called as Secretarial Standardsí and popularly termed as SS. ! ICSI has been the first professional body in the world to start the process of setting Secretarial Standards for integration, harmonization and standardization of corporate secretarial practices. International Federation of Company Secretaries (IFCS), formed with the efforts of ICSI, decided to form an International Secretarial Standards Board which will formulate international secretarial standards to spread good corporate governance discipline across national borders. ! Companies follow diverse secretarial practices and, therefore, there is a need to integrate, harmonize and standardize such practices so as to promote uniformity and consistency. The Standards were always recommendatory in nature. With the growing corporate scenario a need was felt to standardize the secretarial practices so the Standards were thereafter recommended to be made mandatory first somewhere in 2006. Many members of the Institute and big corporate houses were in favour of the SS being made mandatory. Many corporate houses had even started adopting such standards so it was therefore understood that all can therefore adopt and follow the same. Moreover, the members and council wanted the SS to be treated...

The Corporations Act 2001, s 9 defines the term “Officer” in a way that if a person is a director or secretary of the corporation or a person who is involved in decision making and thus impacting the substantial part of the organization. Mr. Shafron tried to defend stating he had two different roles in the company and should be treated separate. He tried to delimit his duties to that of Mr. Cameron who held the position of joint Company Secretary. The job of Mr. Cameron was limited to administrative functions which was not the case for Mr. Shafron being a Company Secretary. He argued upon that he was not involved in the decision making process, infect he did not take decisions even though he was a General Counsel, a position referred to as “Officer” as per the Corporations Act 2001, s 9. He argued that he did not breach his duties in relation to either the ASX issue or the actuarial issue as it was the call of board. There are evidences that he was a part of the decision making process as he was part of the three members committee (Macdonald, Morley and Shafron) which was responsible for the formulation of the proposal of the two companies and presenting that to the board of JHIL. He held a position of the second or third most senior executives in the company. Here Mr. Shafron is found guilty of charges in accordance to the Corporations Act 2001, s 180(1)...

...ANSWER TO PART 1: A) The first lawsuit that Sebastian can bring against Poorich supermarket would be tort of negligence. The general principle of tort of negligence is, a person through his act or omission causes damage or injury to another person in situations where it was foreseeable. In the case of Sebastian, the manager of the Poorich supermarket owes Sebastian and his two sons a duty of care as a customer. The concept of duty of care generally known as the ‘neighbour’s principle’ is effectively established in the case of Donoghue v Stevenson. The legal principle of Donoghue v Stevenson is, in order for the plaintiff to sue in negligence he has to prove the four vital points which are, the defendant owes a duty of care to the plaintiff and the defendant did not take proper care which resulted in damage or injury to the plaintiff. Hence, in this case the manager of the supermarket breached his duty by negligently accusing Sebastian in front of a public for stealing and also labelling Sebastian as a cheat and liar without having any accurate evidence. Therefore, my recommendation would be that Sebastian may file a law suit against the Poorich supermarket for the negligence of the manager in handling the matter which is reasonably foreseeable that it caused Sebastian embarrassment and emotional distress. The second lawsuit that can be brought against the supermarket, would be trespass to a person. The three types of trespass to a person is battery, assault and false...

...CASE STUDY Appraising the Secretaries of Sweet water University SUMMARY OF THE CASE: This case study is about the newly appointed vice president, Rob Winchester and about the difficulties he faced shortly after his university career began .Rob's boss, Sweetwater's president assigned him the first task of improving the performance appraisal system used to evaluate secretarial and clerical performance. In this case, the main difficulty is the performance appraisal which was directly tied to salary increases given at the end of the year. The graphic rating forms which were used to evaluate clerical staff were not efficient as these forms never gave the true evaluation of performance. So, to change the faulty performance appraisal system two Sweetwater experts gave their recommendations to solve the problem. The first recommendation was not to use graphic rating forms as this rating method did not provide any clear picture about the good or bad performance. The second recommendation was not to force administrators to arbitrarily rate at least half their secretaries as something less than excellent. The recommendations given by the experts were good and made sense but these recommendations created problems like efficacy of any graphic rating forms if it is compared to the original forced ranking approach used by Rob and what should be the basis of performance appraisal. ANALYSIS OF THE CASE: The job of Rob Winchester was to completely change the performance rating system...
