The fourth edition of Company Law aims to demystify this complex area of law without oversimplification. Highly praised for its accuracy and authoritative style, this book focuses on key principles taught on undergraduate company law courses, with a particular emphasis on corporate governance and the theoretical bases underlying the law. The authors discuss the current debates surrounding company law in a succinct and often entertaining way. These issues include the reviews by the English and Scottish Law Commissions, the consultation papers issued by the Company Law Review Steering Group, and the ensuing White Papers and the Companies Bill. The book also provides helpful features such as chapter introductions, further reading and self-test questions which encourage students to actively engage with the issues. Company Law is essential for company law students, as well as an ideal companion for non-law students studying company law on business courses at undergraduate or postgraduate level. Book jacket.
