The book has been written in a clear, easy to read style, without jargon or difficult conceptual language. Cases are generally condensed into their main principles and, similarly, sections of the Corporations Act, when referred to, have been reduced to a clear summarised version. The book has excellent footnotes for further reading on texts, articles, reports and forthcoming publications.
Review of 1st edition Law Institute of Victoria Journal May 2008.
Corporate Law examines the legal principles and policies that govern companies. Written in a plain-speaking style this text brings the accessibility of an introductory text together with the depth and analysis of a higher-level text, providing students with a solid understanding of all the key topics. It does this through an exploration of the theoretical and policy basis for each topic while also placing each topic in its practical context. This book is equally valuable to readers approaching the subject for the first time, and for those seeking a deeper understanding of corporate law.
- More case extracts that highlight the important principles within the text and contain a good discussion of other relevant cases
- Fully updated to reflect new developments in corporate law
- The authors have revisited significant topics, such as the High Courts decision in Sons of Gwalia Ltd v Margaretic to ensure the books currency and relevancy for students
