Abstract
Abstract This book provides an exposition of company law from a comparative perspective. It analyses important policy issues in the area of company law, including the emergence and nature of the business corporation, EU company law, incorporation and corporate representation, agency problems in the firm, rights of stakeholders and shareholders, minority shareholder protection in corporate control transactions, legal capital, and piercing the corporate veil, as well as corporate insolvency and restructuring law. The book’s main focus is the law of public and private companies in the common law sense (the law of partnerships is referred to and taken into account as necessary). The book’s analysis encompasses the corporate laws of the US, the UK, Germany, and France, as well as the legislative measures adopted by the EU and the relevant case law of the Court of Justice of the EU. It includes edited and, where necessary, translated extracts from leading company case law. The cases are discussed and interpreted in the context of the national and European regulatory frameworks and in light of economic and legal theory, as well as legal history.
