Description

Cases and Materials on Company Law guides students through the complexities of company law with a broad selection of source materials that are placed in context through clear commentary. It covers all the principal areas of company law including the issue of securites and insolvency. The book concentrates on how the law facilitates and regulates the operation of companies, both large and small, reflecting the realities of current practice. To help students understand the signficance of the material presented, each section is preceded by a concise introduction. Similarly, each case is preceded by a statement of its legal significance and a summary of the main facts. The book has been fully revised to incorporate the groundbreaking changes to domestic company law as a result of the Companies Act 2006. The new edition has been made easier to navigate as a result of a new two colour text design that clearly differentiates extracted material from the authors' commentary.
