Book Synopsis Fundamentals, Developments and Trends in British Company Law - Some Wider Reflections - First Part by : Jonathan Rickford
Download or read book Fundamentals, Developments and Trends in British Company Law - Some Wider Reflections - First Part written by Jonathan Rickford and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper describes current UK reforms in company law and corporate governance, primarily for non-UK readers. After a summary overall survey of UK reform activity, two main distinguishing features of UK law and their strengths and weaknesses are described - ie first, the common law fiduciary agency basis of company structure and governance; and second, the highly concentrated pattern of institutional shareholder ownership and control of listed companies and the resulting influence of such owners on governance and wider regulation. The second part of the paper covers current proposals to clarify and modernise these aspects. The implications of reformed fiduciary agency principles for corporate governance and company structures, eg in the UK-registered European company, are explored. The conditions on which the ownership structure and its effectiveness to discipline management depend and the latest developments in law and practice affecting company control and discipline are then analysed. These include the Operating and Financial Review (providing all stakeholders with broader information) and the new corporate governance code and the new regime governing board remuneration, a major development with general effects on governance. The conclusion is positive, but it is questioned whether the legal and factual conditions on which the effectiveness of the UK system depend can, or should, be replicated outside the UK, and whether substitutes are needed. Questions are also raised about the effects of regionalisation and globalisation of capital markets on the continuing effectiveness of the UK, and proposed wider EU, transparency based systems.
Book Synopsis National Corporate Law in a Globalised Market by : David Milman
Download or read book National Corporate Law in a Globalised Market written by David Milman and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an ambitious, original, fascinating and eminently readable study of UK company law in its European and international context. As well as doctrinal company law (whether purely domestic or European), it touches on theory and other laws, especially insolvency, fiscal and private international law affecting the corporate form. It provides insights that will be of interest and use to academic company lawyers across the world and should be on the reading list for any postgraduate course on company law. John Birds, University of Manchester, UK In this book, David Milman explains the significant impact and effect of global trends on the regulation and implementation of UK corporate law, exposing both the historical and future advancement of the global convergence (and divergence) of corporate principles in jurisdictions across the world. The treatment of the subject area is unique, informative and a compelling read. The exposition of the subject matter is thought provoking. The book is comprehensively crafted, exhibiting the author s enviable ability to import detailed and complex issues into a most readable text. Stephen Griffin, University of Wolverhampton, UK In this timely book, David Milman considers how UK corporate law has been affected by the forces of globalisation, arguing that this is not a new development, but rather is part of an historical continuum. He examines corporate law regulatory strategy in general, treatment of foreign shareholders and multinational groups, aspects of private international law and issues connected with cross border insolvency. The substantive chapters cover a full range of issues, from the harmonisation of corporate law, and the common denominators in corporate law principles, to the regulation of overseas companies and foreign stakeholders and transnational cooperation. The book concludes with a consideration of the wider issue of convergence in corporate law and examines whether total convergence is a realistic possibility. National Corporate Law in a Globalised Market is set against the backdrop of the progressive implementation of the Companies Act 2006 and the turmoil of the current world financial crisis. With a scholarly review of current theoretical and policy issues in corporate law this book will be an invaluable resource tool for academics and advanced students as well as practitioners.
Book Synopsis The Reform of UK Personal Property Security Law by : John de Lacy
Download or read book The Reform of UK Personal Property Security Law written by John de Lacy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 984 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been much discussion in the last ten years about the need to reform the law governing company charge registration, with many bodies including the Department of Trade and Industry and Law Commissions considering the case for reform of this area in the context of a wider scheme of personal property security reform. This has culminated in the coming into force of Part 25 of the Companies Act 2006, which is concerned with company charge registration. This major book features the work of international experts on personal property security law. It focuses on the reform of UK company charge law and argues that the Companies Act 2006 did not go far enough in reforming the law. It addresses the question as to whether the UK should follow the lead of other jurisdictions that have adopted US Article 9 type personal property security schemes. As well as considering current UK law the book also addresses the changes proposed by the Law Commissions and, despite current government inaction, considers whether these reform proposals should be adopted. The book contains major international comparisons and, in particular, looks at law reform in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Europe. This comparative treatment gives the reader a full perspective on this difficult and constantly developing area of law.
Book Synopsis Shareholders and Stakeholders by : Joanne F Sonin
Download or read book Shareholders and Stakeholders written by Joanne F Sonin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the evolution of the shareholder in post-war Britain within the context of changing legal, political, economic, and social conditions. It examines how the post-war transformation of the shareholder body influenced relationships amongst stakeholders, impacting corporate behaviour and the legal and political efforts to govern industry and financial markets. The book addresses a number of themes, including: 1) how the movements for democratisation influenced the treatment of shareholder interests and the calls for stakeholder representation; 2) how the rhetoric of change created a narrative that deflected from the lack of systemic legal reforms and protected the status quo; 3) how, in the post-war consensus environment, political positions on equity ownership de-radicalised, which proved unsustainable against a background of increasing political polarisation and industrial unrest; and 4) how the institutionalisation of the post-war shareholder body had profound effects on industry, the financial markets, and the economy. With these themes as a foundation, the evolutionary arch of the post-war shareholder is examined, focusing on developments that influenced the treatment and perception of shareholder and stakeholder interests, including nationalisations, shareholder democracy, corporate purpose, and industrial democracy. The book further considers how these post-war changes contribute to the post-1979 legal treatment of shareholder and stakeholder interests, including subsequent changes to the Companies Act and the development of corporate governance codes. Parallels to contemporary movements for stakeholder capitalism, corporate purpose, and ESG are drawn. The historical analysis of the post-war shareholder provides a framework for considering current questions on shareholder primacy and the demands for systemic legal reforms. These missed opportunities for meaningful changes to the treatment of shareholder interests in UK company law serve as useful precedents for evaluating subsequent periods.

Book Synopsis Shaping the Corporate Landscape by : Nina Boeger
Download or read book Shaping the Corporate Landscape written by Nina Boeger and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, there exists a distrust of corporate activity in the continuing aftermath of the financial crisis and with increasing recognition of the threats of climate change and global, as well as national, inequalities. Despite efforts in the arena of corporate governance to address these, we are still beset with corporate scandals and witness companies facing large fines for their environmental and cost-cutting misdemeanours. Recognising that the usual responses to dealing with these corporate problems are not effective, this book asks whether the traditional form of the joint stock corporation itself lies at the heart of these problems. What are the features of the corporate form and how does its current regulation underscore these problems? Identifying such features provides a basis for the discussion to develop towards suggesting more progressive regulatory developments around the corporate form. More fundamentally, this book investigates a diverse range of corporate governance models that are emerging as alternatives to the shareholder corporation, including employee-owned, cooperative and social enterprises. The contributors are leading scholars from various backgrounds including law, management and organisation studies, finance and accounting, as well as experienced professionals and policy makers with expertise in social and cooperative business models and the role of employees in the corporation.

Book Synopsis European Comparative Company Law by : Mads Andenas
Download or read book European Comparative Company Law written by Mads Andenas and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-30 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Company law is undergoing fundamental change in Europe. All European countries have undertaken extensive reform of their company legislation. Domestic reform has traditionally been driven by corporate failures or scandals. Initiatives to make corporate governance more effective are a feature of recent European law reform, as are measures to simplify and ease burdens on smaller and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). An increasing EU harmonisation is taking place through the Company Law Directives, and the free movement of companies is also facilitated by the case law of the European Court of Justice on the directives and the right to free movement and establishment in the EC Treaty. New European corporate forms such as the European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG) and the European Company (SE) have added new dimensions. At a time of rapid development of EU and national company laws, this book will aid the understanding of an emerging discipline.
