Comparative Company Law: A Case-Based Approach

David Cabrelli (Editor), Mathias Siems (Editor)

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

This project involves nine co-authors, with David Cabrelli and Professor Mathias Siems of UEA, Norwich Law School acting as co-editors. The project entails an examination of specific hypothetical cases in company law and how 10 different jurisdictions would treat each of these cases. For example, topics related to directors’ liability and shareholder duties will be analysed in order to understand how hypothetical cases would be solved in different countries. The general aim of the project is to identify whether conceptual differences between countries exist and whether formal or functional convergence in the field of company law is likely or unlikely to materialize. The project also has a public policy dimension since the existence or absence of differences between jurisdictions matters for the question of whether formal harmonisation of company law in the EU, or further afield, is necessary.
