Answer

Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) s 208 provides that, for a public company or an entity it controls to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must obtain approval of the public company members under ss 217-227 and give the benefit within 15 months after approval, or the benefit must fall within an exception in ss 210-216. If a contract to give the benefit was itself approved as a financial benefit and made within the statutory timing or conditional on approval, approval for giving the benefit is taken to have been given. Official source checked: Federal Register of Legislation, Corporations Act 2001 current text, s 208. Dogfood note: Source search for s 208 did not surface a native Corporations Act s 208 row; it returned adjacent proposed Corporations topics and unrelated CCA rows.
