Some quite useful info. here!

Think twice before threatening to sue personally the directors of your adversary in a contested transaction. It has become all to common to seek to coerce the directors of an adversary by threatening to sue them personally, often on flimsy grounds. However, this can backfire, as the directors concerned will most likely be required to notify their Directors’ an Officers’ Liability Insurers in order to ensure coverage under the Policy with respect to the matters complained of. Threats to “report” matters to ASIC and ASX can have the same result where the Policy covers the costs of responding to a regulatory investigation. This can have unfortunate consequences for the company making the threats. For example, in the case of a successful board spill, the newly elected directors may not be able to get coverage on reasonable terms, given that notification under the Policy has been made with respect to the target company.
