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.Corporation lawGreat BritainCorporation lawNigeriaCorporation lawSouth AfricaCorporation lawCorporation lawCorporation law346.41066Nwafor Anthony O.1713343MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820218203321Comparative Company Law4106262UNINA
