Sommario/riassunto

Topics discussed in the book are deliberately comparative and show the different levels of the ground rules for the regulation of corporate operations in different jurisdictions. The United Kingdom, Nigeria and South Africa are primarily chosen simply on the common law background upon which the statutory provisions in those countries are founded. There are also references to Canada, Australia and India on case by case basis to illustrate the differences in the application of the relevant legal principles and statutory interpretations. The insights gained should facilitate statutory amendments and effective adjustment in the operations of the regulatory agencies and business



organizations.--From back cover.
