Butterworths Company Law Handbook The Companies Act 1985 Regime

Despite its repeal, the Companies Act 1985 still holds importance. There are some sections that are repealed ‘with savings’. Company law practitioners need to keep an understanding of the old law to see how the new law is different and there is a large body of company law cases held under the Companies Act 1985.

This one-off publication is the ultimate company law historical reference work. The Companies Act 1985 Regime book allows you to know exactly what was in force at a particular date during the change of regime from the Companies Act 1985 to the Companies Act 2006.

It includes the complete text of the Companies Act 1985 as at 7th November 2006, as it stood prior to any Companies Act 2006 amendments or repeals.
