Companies ACT 2006: The New Law

The Companies Act 2006 promises to be the most radical reform of UK company law for decades. This very substantial piece of draft legislation with over 1200 sections and 16 schedules represents a seismic change to the company law landscape. Following the highly regarded Jordan's New Law Series format, this book offers an authoritative account of the background and effect of the Act. Focusing on the areas of change, the book combines analysis of the new provisions with essential cross-referencing to the law remaining in force, thus providing a comprehensive account of the forthcoming regime and its implications for UK company law practice. The book also includes the full text of the Act.
