Details

The 2023 edition includes recent cases covering a number of areas of company law. Most notable are the cases dealing with members’ remedies, discussed in Chapter 8. There is also a new Companies (Amendment) Bill 2022 which was gazetted on 25 November 2022 and now before the Legislative Council. The bill proposes some minor amendments to the CO to confirm that companies may hold virtual or hybrid general meetings, subject to express restrictions in the articles.

The text has been thoroughly updated with discussion of new cases, including:

the statutory derivative action (Lam Kin Chung v Soka Gakkai International of Hong Kong Ltd [2022] 4 HKC 202, [2022] HKCA 480);
shareholder petitions for just and equitable winding up (Re Overseas Associates Ltd [2022] 2 HKLRD 790, [2022] HKCA 512; Ninotre Investment Ltd v Strong Light Investments Ltd [2021] HKCFI 3095);
scope of the irregularity principle in restricting minority shareholder remedies (HuangFu Chuangxin v Ni Yongkang [2022] HKCFI 1721; Lohas Holding Ltd v Registrar of Companies [2022] HKCFI 3358);
interpretation of articles of association (Yeung Bing Kwong Kenneth v Yeung Ping Leung [2019] HKCFI 1465); and
the statutory indoor management rule (Zhang Kan v SPH (Hong Kong) International Trading Co Ltd [2022] 3 HKLRD 813, [2022] HKDC 731)
