It provides up-to-date primary and secondary legislation, practice notes and authoritative caselaw from HK and UK with relevant legislation in associated fields.
The book also includes new chapter on Disclosure of Interest and Dealing in Securities and latest update to corporate law practice in its most comprehensive presentation in relation to practice including legislation in associated fields relating to companies, such as partnership, insolvency, capital maintenance and corporate finance, directors duties and accountability, shareholders rights and enforcement issues, financial disclosure, accountancy and audit provisions, securities, corporate transformation and restructuring, liquidation and winding up. Hong Kong Corporate Law also covers areas of practice that are unique to Hong Kong like the corporate veil, meetings, minority shareholders and rights, directors' rights and duties and many, many more.
