Fully updated with the latest legislative changes and case law it is a must for anyone involved in company Law.
Content in this new edition has been expanded to include two new chapters on cross border insolvency and board fights. The chapters covering Winding Up have been substantially revised in light of changes to Cap 622 and the revised Cap 32. All commentary throughout the text has been updated for brevity and clarity. Additional improvements to the second edition include a focus on the essential fundamentals that are often overlooked, yet form the basis of understanding of the subject matter.
