  • Company Law I 2008 - 2009
    1 COMPANY LAW I 2008 - 2009 SEMESTER ONE - LECTURE OUTLINE I AN OVERVIEW OF OUR COMPANY LAW COURSE Semester One: . Choice of Business Organisation & Company Registration . Separate Corporate Legal Personality . Corporate Governance: Distribution of power between board of directors and shareholders’ general meeting and executives and non executive directors . Directors’ Duties . Minority Shareholder Protection Semester Two . Agency and Company Capacity: Who can bind the Company to a Contract, or make it liable in Tort or Criminal Law? . Capital – shares, loans, and markets in shares. Take-overs and Mergers of PLC’s . Insolvency and Dissolution of Companies: especially liability of directors. Choice of Business Structure Aim: o To set the context and help you to understand the key features of the main structures and issues in choosing between business structures. Reading: Davies and Gower, Chapters 1 & 2 Hicks and Goo 6th edition pp 33-77 gives an idea of the development of a business – especially the story on pages 33-40. Pages 41-77 provide the relevant documents for the company in the story. Pages 91-94 outline some of the choices for those setting up a small business. See G. Morse, Partnership Law (Blackstone) 6th Edition (2006) chapters 1 and 9 for a little more detail on partnerships. Blackett Ord Partnership, Butterworths, 2002 Chapter 1 pp 1-5; Chap 2 pp 10-34 & Chapter 10, 11, 16, 20 & 21 is good for reference or if you are particularly interested in going more deeply into partnership law. NOTE: Companies Act 2006 changes the documentation of company constitutions. It makes the Memorandum of Association a document with few details in it which is lodged when the company is registered.

  • CORPORATE LAW PROJECT JURISDICTION: Botswana FIRM: Armstrongs (Submission Coordinated by Edward Nathan Sonnenbergs) DATE: December 2010
    1 Mandate of the Special Representative of the Secretary- General (SRSG) on the Issue of Human Rights and Transnational Corporations and other Business Enterprises CORPORATE LAW PROJECT JURISDICTION: Botswana FIRM: Armstrongs (Submission coordinated by Edward Nathan Sonnenbergs) DATE: December 2010 This survey is an independent submission to the SRSG’s Corporate Law Project. It is the sole work of Armstrongs and the SRSG takes no position on any views expressed or implied in this report. More information about the Corporate Law Project is available at: http://www.business- humanrights.org/SpecialRepPortal/Home/CorporateLawTools . 2 A NOTE FROM THE UN SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE ON BUSINESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS September 2010 This survey is an independent submission to a project on corporate law and human rights under my mandate as Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General on Business and Human Rights: the “Corporate Law Project”. I am delighted that nineteen leading corporate law firms from around the world have agreed to make submissions to this project, and thank them for their engagement. The willingness of so many firms to provide their services pro bono in order to expand the common knowledge base indicates that corporate law firms worldwide appreciate that human rights are relevant to their clients’ needs. It is important at the outset to understand how this project fits into my wider work. I was appointed in 2005 by then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan with a broad mandate to identify and clarify standards of corporate responsibility and accountability regarding human rights, including the role of states. In June 2008, after extensive global consultation with business, governments and civil society, I proposed a policy framework for managing business and human rights challenges to the United Nations Human Rights Council (Council).
