Company Law Perspectives Sixth Edition continues the approach of previous editions by engaging the reader in the broader business context in which the law operates.
The law in the Sixth Edition is updated and content expanded. This includes: a new chapter on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporations; commentary on recent amendments to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) arising from the Treasury Laws Amendment (Financial Market Infrastructure and Other Measures) Act 2024 (Cth); integration of changes to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) introduced by the Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024 (Cth); an expanded Chapter 24 (ASIC Investigation), more detail in Chapter 28 (Financial Services and Markets) and the addition and explanation of several new cases throughout
Chapters on the legal system, the law of contract, and the law of tort, outline the broader legal framework in which companies operate, and a section on study strategy presents ideas that may help an understanding of the law and improve outcomes in assessments.
The contextual approach of Company Law Perspectives is reinforced by the use of extracts from a range of sources including: the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), judgments, ASIC Information Sheets and Media Releases, scholarly legal journal articles and newspaper and other media commentary.
With its clear and succinct style, and its multidimensional approach, Company Law Perspectives provides a solid and accessible foundation for learning and understanding company law and the legal and commercial environment in which it exists.
