Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Private Companies: Relating to Business Corporations Organized Under the General Corporation Laws of the State of Delaware With Notes, Annotations, and Corporation Forms The author has reason to believe that a practical annotation of the general corporation law of the state of Delaware would be of service not only to the bar, but also to business men, who are considering or resorting to the formation of corporations, as the best mode of candying into effect everyday business requirements. The present general corporation law herein considered, is Delaware's second general law of this nature, and was passed in conformity with the requirements of the constitution (article IX, section I), viz.: That no corporation shall be created by special act, but only by general law. The first law, that of 1883, while liberal in its provisions, applied to a limited class of business concerns, and prior to this law, all charters for incorporated companies were granted by special act of the legislature. In this edition those sections of the law (Nos. 67 to 126 inclusive) relating to public or quasi-public corporations, are not treated of, it being the intention to confine the limits of this work to such corporations as may be termed "Private Companies." As the Delaware corporation law in many of its provisions closely resembles the corporation act of New Jersey, and as there have been many decisions of the courts of that state determining the scope and powers of said act, citations of such cases have largely been made in this volume.
