    Abstract

    Details of the proceedings and judgment in the James Hardie case delivered on April 23, 2009, wherein the James Hardie Industries Group (JHI) was found guilty of misleading and deceiving the stakeholders, are presented. The judgment demonstrates that governance officials in companies should not depend on external advisers, lawyers and the CEO to make crucial decisions, and also that minutes of board meetings should be recorded accurately as evidence in cases pertaining to officers' duties.
