Company Law - LAWS811
This unit studies the nature, formation and management of the modern corporation. It examines the consequences of the adoption of corporate form including the separation of legal personality between the company and its shareholders and the impact of limited liability. The extensive common law and statutory regulatory regime applicable to directors and other company officers in the management of the company is surveyed as is the important role of shareholders' rights in governing this entity. The examination of the corporation is undertaken in the context of globalisation where the proliferation of corporate governance codes is increasing.
