Details

The authoritative and most informed handbook available on Hong Kong company law for professionals.

Butterworths Hong Kong Company Law Handbook (13th Edition) provides an authoritative guide to the latest developments in the rapidly evolving area of Company Law and practice in Hong Kong. This handbook makes available in a convenient form the full text of the Companies Ordinance (Cap 32) together with section-by-section annotations. The annotations include amendment notes, carefully researched case authorities, expert commentary and other authoritative material presented in a concise and succinct style. In addition, cross-references are made to subsidiary legislation and to tables and forms where necessary. It is a testament to how far company law has progressed from the core principles of English equity and the United Kingdom Companies Act 1862.

The thirteenth edition also includes the Companies (Winding-up) Rules and forms. This handbook is the most informed and handy guide available to the area of Hong Kong company law and lays out all information ever likely to be required on the Ordinance. This series has been cited with authority in numerous court cases in the Hong Kong Court of First Instance, Court of Appeal, and Court of Final Appeal.

Since the last edition of this book, the Companies Ordinance (Cap 32) has been amended with changes made to Sections 2, 6, 9, 12, 14A, 15, 16, 18, 18A, 20, 21, 22, 22A, 22AA, 38AA, 57A, 99, 102, 109, 110, 129G, 141CH, 168BAA-168BAI, 168BA, 168BC-168BG, 168BJ, 227E, 265, 342AA, 346-346B, 348, 348BA, Schedule 1, Schedule 3, Schedule 12 and Schedules 17-22 of the Ordinance.

These amendments are incorporated in this edition so that it will serve as the most up-to-date reference guide for lawyers, in-house counsels, company secretaries, company directors, auditors, accountants, regulators, academics, students, and all those who are engaged or interested in the dynamic practice of company law in Hong Kong.
