Corporations Law

This second edition of Corporations Law: Text and Essential Cases covers significant changes to the law since the first edition, including: the Corporations Amendment (Insolvency) Act 2007 (Cth), dramatically impacting on the law relating to, inter alia, the external administration of companies; the Corporations Legislation Amendment (Simpler Regulatory System) Act 2007 (Cth), amending the definition of small proprietary company and significantly affecting the law on corporate fundraising and the relevant disclosure requirements; recent case law affecting essentially every chapter of the text, includ---ing the corporate constitution, appointment of directors, directors' duties, meetings, members' remedies and external administration. The 13 chapters each contain extracts from the leading cases supported by commentary, review questions and further readings. The coverage of the chapters is broad and as well as reflecting the content of most courses in Australia, will be a useful reference in any practitioner's library.
