| Summary |
"In this book Vanessa Edwards makes a detailed analysis of all the adopted company law and securities directives, namely the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Eleventh and Twelfth Company Law directives and the Securities Directives on Admissions, Listing Particulars, Interim Reports, Public Offers Prospectus, Major Shareholdings and Insider Dealing. She discusses their historical context, scope, substantive effect, interpretation by the European Court of Justice and national implementation. The book also contains a thorough examination of the scope of companies' freedom of establishment, reviewing in depth the case law of the Court of Justice on Article 52 of the EC Treaty in so far as it applies to corporate entities."--BOOK JACKET |

"This book will be welcomed by all company lawyers, both practising and academic, who wish to be able to interpret the relevant domestic legislation in the light of the text and the purpose of the underlying directives, as required by EC law. It will also be of great importance to EC lawyers more generally who have long been awaiting such a detailed and analytical work on the Community's company law regime."--BOOK JACKET |
