Law : Business

The third edition takes into account several important changes in the law and the continuing debate on corporate governance of the Cadbury,Greenbury and Hampel Reports, as well as setting out the incoming government's plans for company law reform.Company law is a growth area more so, probably, than any other area of law. It reaches into many other areas of law and, of course, is in a constant state of evolution. For example, auditor's negligence, investment law and the FSA, administration orders and minority remedies are areas that are fast developing. These areas are explored as well as the main areas of company law: the company and other business organisations; types of company; setting up of the company; managing the company; reconstructing the company; supervision of company law.In this book the author has succeeded in presenting a comprehensive and thought provoking text, setting out in a clear, lucid language the information needed to ensure successful preparation for the company law examinations. the aim of the book is to provide a clear and comprehensive exposition of company law as an essential supplement to lectures. All aspects of company law are covered, including insider dealing, takeovers, liquidation and company investigations.The treatment of each subject is precise and comprehensive. The books are divided into chapters. Each chapter is presented logically, starting with the basic issues of each topic and moving on to more refined matters. In addition, in order to make the textbook as useful as possible to the reader, the issues discussed, together with the relevant cases and statutes, are summarised at the end of each chapter. more...

The concept of state sovereignty is increasingly challenged by a proliferation of international economic instruments and major international economic institutions. States from both the south and north are re-examining and debating the extent to which they should cede control over their economic and social policies to achieve global economic efficiency in an interdependent world. International lawyers are seriously rethinking the subject of state sovereignty, in relation to the operation of the main international economic institutions, namely the WTO, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The contributions in this volume, bringing together leading scholars from the developed and developing worlds, take up the challenge of debating the meaning of sovereignty and the impact of international economic law on state sovereignty. The first part looks at the issues from the perspectives of general international law, international economic law and legal theory. Part two discusses the impact of trade liberalisation on the sovereignty of both industrialised and developing states and Part three concentrates on the challenge to state sovereignty created by the proliferation of investment treaties and the significant recent growth of investment treaty based arbitration cases. Part four focuses on the domestic and international effects of international financial intermediaries and markets. Part five explores the tensions and intersections between the international regulation of trade and investment, international human rights and state sovereignty. more...

The processes of legal and economic integration at a regional and global scale have created powerful legal and economic dilemmas. They challenge the paradigms of constitutionalism,including the State’s monopoly of constitutionalism, the autonomy of national political communities and the traditional forms of participation and representation. The phenomena of globalisation and regional forms of governance have promoted the inter-dependence of national political communities and destroyed the artificial boundaries upon which national constitutional democracies are found and from which they derive their legitimacy. Furthermore, it is inevitable that the development of international trade and economic integration will raise claims for some form of global distributive justice to complement the wealth maximisation arising from free trade. This will come from the gradual development of global forms of political discourse and law–making, challenging State constitutionalism and requiring some of the instruments and theories of constitutionalism. The essays in this collection, written by leading scholars in international trade law, argue the pros and cons of greater regional and global regulation. They conclude that whatever the final framework for international trade, the critical decisions about institutional form and content will be decided in an emerging global political arena. They help to identify this political arena, who governs it, and according to which rules, and identify the different institutional alternatives in that global political arena. more...
