kaal:claim:1558614-005
Law generally declines to adopt a general principle barring managers from incurring risk above a defined standard because such a standard is hard to define; corporate law instead insulates managers' risk decisions through the business judgment rule.
Source quote, verbatim
The law does not do so in most instances because defining such a stan- dard is difficult. Corporate law instead protects the risk decisions of bank managers from challenge through a concept known as the "business judgment rule."
