"Corporations Act 2001 s 181 good-faith civil duty"
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) s 181 requires a director or other officer to exercise powers and discharge duties in good faith in the best interests of the corporation and for a proper purpose.
Warrant (how it is justified) and consensus state / credence (where the community stands) are independent axes. The four warrant kinds are unordered peers — not a certainty ladder.
This is a human-established fact. It holds within CTH as enacted by Federal Register of Legislation.
Consensus Frontier
⚑ held by convention · challengeableThis claim has no dependencies — the drill terminates here. Not because bedrock was reached, but because this is where the community currently agrees to stop digging. It is epistemically identical to every other node: held by convention, and challengeable.

Verified against the current Federal Register of Legislation compilation of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), C2026C00058, compilation date 19 December 2025: https://www.legislation.gov.au/C2004A00818/latest/text Current s 181(1) provides that a director or other officer of a corporation must exercise their powers and discharge their duties in good faith in the best interests of the corporation and for a proper purpose. The section is a civil penalty provision. Under s 181(2), a person involved in a contravention of s 181(1) also contravenes s 181(2). Dogfood note: Source search for s 181 good faith did not surface a native s 181 row. It returned the native s 180 care-and-diligence row, unrelated CCA rows, and prior proposed topics.
