The book seeks to present corporation law, a complex topic, in an understandable and easy way. It is an excellent first pick for people who work with or in corporations as well as aspiring students of company law because it is readable while still providing sufficient detail to complex subjects.

The firm is governed by a complicated patchwork of statutory and common law regulations. This book tries to explain these laws. Legal principles that arbitrate the many rights and obligations of the various factions with interests in the company are also explained, along with concepts that define and characterise a company. This third edition has undergone a considerable rewrite in order to include more decided cases, challenging corporate governance and theoretical issues, and to reflect the changes brought about by the Companies (Amendment) Act 2014.
