Details

This is the first text to offer the reader an in-depth analysis of the principles of Hong Kong company law coupled with a comprehensive collection of relevant case law from the Hong Kong courts. As Hong Kong company law no longer invariably tracks its English counterpart, this text has been written specifically to highlight key issues of Hong Kong company law and practice where the Companies Ordinance (Cap 32) has departed from the English model. Accordingly, this work will be particularly valuable to practitioners in Hong Kong.

The detailed text covers significant company law developments in Hong Kong including the Companies (Amendment) Ordinance 1997, which abolished the ultra vires doctrine and reformed the constructive notice rule. Important case law, such as the decision of the Hong Kong Court of Appeal in the Kishimoto case, is also highlighted. Additionally, the extensive use of foreign companies in Hong Kong practice is reflected in the text, with a critical analysis of the important decisions in Re China Tianjin Economic and Technical Co-operative Corp and Elsinct (Asia-Pacific) Ltd v Commercial Bank of Korea Ltd.

This book represents a major contribution to the literature on Hong Kong company law and will be welcomed by legal practitioners and company administrators, as well as those studying for degree or professional examinations.
