Critical Company Law - Lorraine Talbot - Bog

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.
