87 HD Corps Law Notes - Excellent Scaffolds

Description

These notes are a perfect hybrid of exam scaffold and case authority summaries. I used these for both Corps Law exams and finished on 87. They are colour coded and easy to read and use in an exam. This subject is insanely statute heavy and these notes provide you and easy and accessible way to manage all the information. All cases and topics (not only starred required reading cases) have been incorporated and summarised. Topic 1: • Introduction to the unit • The history of companies and corporations • Theoretical perspectives • Business structures • Setting up a company Topic 2: • Capital structure • Corporate fundraising Topic 3: • Corporate personality • Limited liability • Overview of insolvency Topic 4: • Corporate constitution • Decision-making organs of the company Topic 5: • Company meetings • Introducing directors and officers Topic 6: • Corporate liability in contract • Statutory assumptions Topic 7: • Corporate liability in tort and in criminal law Topic 8: • Directors’ duties 1 (good faith and proper purpose; no profit rule) Topic 9: • Directors’ duties 2 (conflict rules, disclosure of material personal interests, improper use of position and information) Topic 10: • Directors’ duties 3 (duty of care; BJR; insolvent trading) Topic 11: • Members’ remedies
