Details

The Butterworths Hong Kong Company Law (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Handbook details the remaining Parts from the “old Companies Ordinance” (Cap 32) that has not been repealed, and thus not included in the new Companies Ordinance rewrite. Provisions relating to prospectus, companies winding-up rules, insolvency of companies, disqualification of directors, receivership, restrictions on sale of shares and provisions relating to the Societies Ordinance are still in force under the now retitled Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap 32).

This handbook reproduces the text of the Ordinance as currently in force, together with details on all amendments and repeals with section-by-section annotations, encompassing significant judicial decisions and rules of court, as well as history notes, definitions of words and phrases, discussions on practical aspects and contentious issues in reference to each section and other authoritative materials including cross-jurisdictional references.

This handbook aims to complement the Butterworths Hong Kong Company Law Handbook, 16th Edition. The handbooks will ensure practitioners are kept up-to-date in Company Law.

The contents of this handbook were annotated and reviewed by ELG Tyler and Stefan Lo, both of whom were part of the Companies Ordinance rewrite team, Commercial Unit III, Department of Justice. ELG Tyler has also written an introduction to the Ordinance.

Don’t forget that Cap32 legislation is still in force today. This Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions Handbook will ensure you stay up to date with the legislation that has not been repealed.

This series has been cited with authority, in over one hundred court cases in the Hong Kong Court of First Instance, Court of Appeal and Court of Final Appeal. This handbook will be an invaluable source of information for practitioners, legal advisers, company secretaries, students and anyone interested in the laws governing companies in Hong Kong.
