Mayson, French & Ryan on Company Law

Mayson, French and Ryan on Company Law is now established as the book which can be relied on for an accurate and readable account of company law. It is revised every year so that students and practitioners can be sure that they are referring to the most up-to-date text available. Its great appeal is its ability to present company law, with all its intricacy and detail, in a straightforward fashion. This eighteenth edition includes full coverage of the Final Report of the Company Law Review, the Insolvency Act 2000, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and the new law on policitical expenditure by companies. This edition also deals with important recent court decisions, including Johnson v Gore Wood and Co. (House of Lords) and Agnew v Commissioner of Inland Revenue (Privy Council). The legislative framework of company law is explained with discussion of the provisions relating to the creation, financing and management of companies and their insolvency and winding up. The abundant case law on the subject is carefully presented and analysed, with quotations from important judgments. Many references are provided to relevant academic articles.
