Customer Reviews

An absolute must for anyone studying Company Law at LLB level
This book is one of the easiest to read and understand. If you are studying Company Law on the LLB, I would highly recommend you purchase this book. Divided logically into neat chapters with self-explanatory headings, this book will take you through the maze of company law and teach you to enjoy its intricacies.

The book contains useful summaries of key cases and explains them alongside the legal principles involved so that you can easily recall and refer to them in exams.

Alone the book is not enough - you will need an additional casebook. However, if you are new to company law, then this is a good starting point. A relatively slim volume that is far cry from the daunting lengths of some legal text books, the book clearly defines the essential principles of its topic, without clouding the issue with thousands of footnotes and judgment extracts.

Highly recommended.

One the better company law textbooks out there.
This textbook has all the hallmarks of the Core text series; highlighting the most important and relevant cases, easy to use.

It brings in helpful academic debate where necessary and refers you to some great articles when you wish to pursue a particular debate. For example the rights and wrongs of the Salomon principle.

The latest edition does include references to the Company's Act 2006, and in fact this textbook has proven to be most helpful when going through the longest statutory instument ever drafted by Parliament. I did buy other textbooks for company law but would regularly and most frequently refer to Digam and Lowry.
