    PURCHASE BY AN ENGLISH COMPANY OF ITS OWN SHARES IRVING J. LEVY Deploring the logic and the policy of the law prevailing in most American states, Professor Garrard Glenn ventures that: .. .it may not be too much to hope that the doctrine relating to treasury stock is in for a revision . (and that) possibly someone may deem it worth while to look at the admirable model which has been provided in the place where once sprung the common law, and where legislation of good sort is to be found, modem as well as ancient." I It is therefore proposed that before studying the "patholog- ical" specimens of law relating to treasury stock in this country, an examination be made of the "admirable model" presented by the law of England. In considering the problems arising out of the purchase by a company of its own shares, it will perhaps not be unprofitable to review briefly the historical development of the relevant English law. I There will be no problems arising out of the purchase by a company of its own shares or a reduction in its capital stock until the concept of capital as a permanent fund to be kept intact devel- ops. No such notion arose in England until the seventeenth cen- tury, at least.2 The early issues of shares in the East India Com- pany were temporary and terminable at the end of each particular business venture. 3 "Shares" were regarded as parts of the enter- prise.

  • 1 Law and Finance in Emerging Economies: Germany And
    LAW AND FINANCE IN EMERGING ECONOMIES: GERMANY AND BRITAIN 1800-1913 Carsten Gerner-Beuerle* ABSTRACT By most standards, Britain in the 19th century was the leading financial nation in the world, possessing more developed capital markets than any other country. An influential view in the law and finance literature argues that holding macroeconomic factors constant, this difference in financial development can be attributed to more stringent disclosure regulation in Britain. This article compares Britain with another European country that was at the centre of the industrial transformation in the 19th century: Germany. It presents a more granular analysis of regulatory reform than is available elsewhere in the literature and presents findings that are, in several respects, at variance with the orthodox view in law and finance. The level of disclosure regulation was largely comparable in both countries during the period under investigation. Furthermore, reform of disclosure regulation was not an exogenous stimulus of financial development, but evolved incrementally and in response to changing market conditions. This was different with respect to the legal regime governing the formation of stock corporations. Here, the two countries developed in diametrically opposed directions as a result of concerted efforts by the policy maker to effect changes in market conditions. The article argues that these rules stand out as the most striking difference between Germany and the UK, a difference that was relevant to organisational choice and types of finance available to the entrepreneur. Keywords: Law and finance; financial development; disclosure regulation; private enforcement; liability for incorrect disclosures * Law Department, London School of Economics and Political Science.
