Description
Corporate law relating to company management is gaining much greater prominence than ever before. This book discusses the various duties of company directors to their companies and to the shareholders and creditors. It also describes their powers, and the remedies and enforcement procedures available where they have abused their power, defaulted, or failed to act in accordance with their duties to the company.
The author discusses practical situtations and uses comparative statutory provisions and cases to give perspective and suggest possible solutions to corporate law problems.
This book will satisfy the law student's need for a clear and thematic treatment of the law, and the practitioner's and company director's needs for comprehensive and readable coverage of major topics and a ready reference to practical aspects of the law.
