Corporate Governance and Law Corporate Law and Human Rights Business Law and Ethics

Abstract

This book argues that it should be the function of company law to promote public interest. Examining a number of topical and controversial issues from this perspective, including the adequacy of corporate governance arrangements, the Nexus of Contracts theory of the company, and the role of markets, the book explains why the theory of company law has to be understood in order for the day-to-day practice of company lawyers to be fully appreciated. The book explores in some depth the protection of interests largely ignored by company law, such as those of employees and the local community, and the safeguarding of the environment from corporate abuse.
