ABSTRACT

Corporations increasingly face penalties and other sanctions for legal compliance violations. Accordingly, there is a growing tendency to seek redress against directors and officers to compensate for the resulting losses. This phenomenon is dealt with differently by the various legal systems. Whereas some corporate laws seem to openly embrace a high level of personal liability to compensate for losses due to non-compliance, other jurisdictions express clear misgivings about such forms of redress. This article examines the paradigms of executive liability for corporate non-compliance under common law and civil law. It lays out the foundations of executive liability for corporate compliance violations and develops a notion of directors’ duties for compliance management systems and the monitoring process. In order to avoid excessive liability, it examines to what extent well-established instruments of corporate law can be employed as defences, in particular, the business judgement rule and the liberating effects of delegation.
