The principle of separate legal personality, limited by the requirement for the subsidiary to have identical directors to the parent company.

The principle of ultra vires, limited by the need for shareholder unanimous consent for the subsidiary's high-risk activities.

The principle of limited liability, limited by the requirement to adequately capitalize the subsidiary and avoid "piercing the corporate veil."

The "Company Law Mastery Hub: The Industry Foundation" emphasizes the fiduciary duties of directors. A director of a publicly-traded company learns of a confidential, impending merger that will significantly increase the company's stock price. They advise their family trust to purchase shares before the public announcement. According to the mastery-level framework, which primary duty is breached, and what is the key legal consequence focusing on company law remedies?

Duty to avoid conflicts of interest (specifically, misusing company property); the consequence is the director being liable to account for all profits made by the trust (disgorgement).

Duty of care, skill, and diligence; the consequence is a fine levied by the regulatory authority equal to the profit gained.

Duty to exercise independent judgment; the consequence is automatic disqualification from acting as a director for five years.

Under the doctrine of "constructive notice" as historically applied and its modern erosion by the "indoor management rule" (Turquand's Rule), the "Company Law Mastery Hub" teaches a critical nuance for third parties contracting with companies. A third party enters into a substantial contract signed by a single director, despite the company's articles requiring two directors for such contracts. The third party has not read the articles. Which statement accurately reflects the modern legal position for a specialist?

The contract is voidable at the company's option, as the indoor management rule only applies to the appointment of directors, not their authority to act.

The contract is void ab initio due to the third party's constructive notice of the articles, regardless of the indoor management rule.

The contract is valid because the indoor management rule protects the third party, who can assume internal procedures have been complied with, and constructive notice is largely defunct for this purpose.

The contract is valid only if the third party can prove they acted in good faith, which is presumed unless the company shows the third party had actual knowledge of the irregularity.
