The Core Text Series takes the reader straight to the heart of the subject, providing a reliable and invaluable guide for students of law at all levels. Written by leading academics and renowned for their clarity, these concise texts explain the intellectual challenges of each area of the law. Company Law gives an authoritative and accurate account of the key principles and demystifies this complex area of the law without oversimplification. The fifth edition focuses on the Companies Act 2006 and builds on its coverage of corporate theory. It also explores corporate rescue in the chapter on takeovers. Chapter introductions will orientate readers with the various aspects of company law and further reading will provide the tools for further research and study. Self-test questions are an invaluable aid to reinforcing learning and supporting revision and will assist with examination recall.
