'This collection of papers will prove itself to be an invaluable resource for any reader wishing to dig deeply into the fund of published scholarship on Corporate and Partnership Law and to have that material available in an easily accessible source. The authors are to be congratulated for their approach to selection; articles published in a wide range of law journals have been included, as have important reform proposals from the Law Commission. The corporate governance material goes beyond the usual parameters to encompass management sources. Papers have been included which reflect the international dimension to Corporate Law. The Centros/ freedom of establishment issue is covered in considerable depth with a range of expert insights on offer. Similarly, the material on insider dealing regulation is impressive. As indicated above, although the primary focus is on Corporate Law the source material covers Partnership Law. This is also a strong insolvency Law component. In short, the coverage is comprehensive and the contents compelling.
This commentator unreservedly applauds this new entrant to the International Business Law library. It will appeal to a wide range of readers, and will prove particularly insightful for taught postgraduate students undertaking LLM courses'
