This volume covers the Companies Act 2014 and is essential reading for students, solicitors and barristers alike. The new legislation introduces a new company law code. Under the proposed new legislation, the default company type - the new private company limited by shares (cls) will be created. Such a company will only be required to have a minimum of one director, as opposed to two under the current law. All the changes are highlighted here in a practical and user-friendly structure.
