Description and Table of Contents

Description

Written from the perspective of the 2006 regime and authored by leading practitioners and academics in the field, this work provides detailed section-by-section commentary alongside the legislative text of the Companies Act 2006 and surviving parts of the previous legislation. Guidance is given as to interpretation of the law and the impact of changes made by the Companies Act 2006 by reference to case law, Hansard and Committee Reports. Derivation and Destination tables are also included for ease of navigation around the Companies Act 2006. Alongside detailed annotation of the Model Articles of Association and the 1949 and 1985 versions of Table A, the book also provides commentary on the Uncertificated Securities Regulations as well as the full text of a collection of other relevant company law secondary materials. This comprehensive reference, previously published as the Annotated Companies Acts looseleaf, provides excellent value for money and a much needed commentary on companies legislation in a single, convenient and portable volume.
