Summary

"The second edition of this popular book on company law combines theoretical and jurisprudential issues with an up-to-date account of legal developments across the field of company law. The author demonstrates that the needs of shareholders in companies which have dispersed ownership of shares cannot be properly understood without an analysis of the law relating to securities regulation and capital markets." "Company Law is essential reading for LL. B. courses in universities and also covers the requirements of the University of London (External) LL. B. The book offers excellent foundation reading for postgraduate LL. M.s in company and capital markets law and is an excellent critical survey of a dynamic field of law for students qualifying professionally in the fields of accounting, finance and company secretaryship."--Jacket.
