Description
This textbook on company law is designed for all those in business who need a comprehensive, practical guide to the complex legal requirements affecting comapanies. The 15th edition has been brought fully up to date to cover wide-ranging new legislation and case law, including Part V of the Criminal Justice Act 1994 on insider dealing. The differences between English and Scots law have been highlighted, as has the importance of accounts in modern company law. The book discusses case law including the decisions on administrative orders, the regulations on takeovers and mergers and the direct effect of EC directives.
