Review from previous edition
"This is a highly accessible book. ... One of the distinguishing
features of this text is that it contains not only a readable and
sometimes humorous explanation of the common law and statutues but
also addresses corporate theory. The authors deal with some complex
topics in a comprehensible fashion. ... The narrative leads to both
an understanding of the topic under discussion and also the
realisation that company law cannot be compartmentalised into
clear-cut topics that can be studied in isolation. ... This
text...stands out for its clarity, whilst still demonstrating the
depth of study needed in relation to some of the more complex areas
of company law."--Journal of Business Law
