Critical Company Law (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Using a contextual framework, this textbook demonstrates how modern company law is shaped by economics, ideology and existing law. This critical introduction invigorates a sometimes dry and technical subject by putting it in its political and historical context.

With a 12 chapter structure that closely maps Company Law courses this edition includes:

• a new chapter on UK Corporate Governance Codes;
• a new chapter on pre-incorporation contracts and the historical demise of the Ultra Vires doctrine;
• a new chapter on shares, shareholders and share transfers; inclusion of developing case law on the Statutory Derivative Claim;
• a revised case study adapted around recent developments.
