Book Description
GATES COMPANY LAW AND PRACTICE IN ZAMBIA is the first book of its kind by a Zambian author with a comprehensive take and profound analysis of the Companies Act Chapter 388 of the Laws of Zambia. Its focus on the Zambian Act and jurisprudence differentiates it from most texts on the Zambian market most of which are based on the UK Companies Acts past and present. The text therefore merges theory and practice adopting a writing style that is not only relevant and pithy but with sufficient profoundness as to enable the reader to gain a methodical appreciation of topics indispensable to a definitive comprehension of Zambian Company Law and Practice. In this way the text provides not only an introduction to the subject but an in depth explanation of what sometimes may seem a daunting subject. Features of the First Edition - Considers with unrivalled detail and focus the Companies Act Chapter 388 of the Laws of Zambia and its attendant amendments and puts Zambian case law development including decisions as late as December, 2016 front and centre of its analysis of Zambian company law. - Contains the historical development of company law in Zambia. - Includes excerpts and references to contemporary writing on the subject for purposes of giving a wider view of this area of the law. - Contains appendices of amendments to the main Act and Company Forms for ease of reference. - Contains a selection of past examination questions and selected model answers courtesy of Zambia Institute of Advanced Legal Education (ZIALE) for use by those preparing for their Legal Practitioner Qualifying Examinations (LPQE). Gates Company Law and Practice in Zambia is an essential guide for students taking courses in company law and insolvency at undergraduate and postgraduate level in law and for those preparing for their post graduate LPQE administered by ZIALE. It is also an excellent study guide for those undertaking professional business programmes with a company or business law component. In addition, the work is also a key source of information for lecturers, legal practitioners and judges.

Private International Law Aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility
Author : Catherine Kessedjian
Publisher : Springer Nature
Page : 697 pages
File Size : 30,94 MB
Release : 2020-03-06
Category : Law
ISBN : 3030351874
Book Description
This book addresses one of the core challenges in the corporate social responsibility (or business and human rights) debate: how to ensure adequate access to remedy for victims of corporate abuses that infringe upon their human rights. However, ensuring access to remedy depends on a series of normative and judicial elements that become highly complex when disputes are transnational. In such cases, courts need to consider and apply different laws that relate to company governance, to determine the competent forum, to define which bodies of law to apply, and to ensure the adequate execution of judgments. The book also discusses how alternative methods of dispute settlement can relate to this topic, and the important role that private international law plays in access to remedy for corporate-related human rights abuses. This collection comprises 20 national reports from jurisdictions in Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia, addressing the private international law aspects of corporate social responsibility. They provide an overview of the legal differences between geographical areas, and offer numerous examples of how states and their courts have resolved disputes involving private international law elements. The book draws two preliminary conclusions: that there is a need for a better understanding of the role that private international law plays in cases involving transnational elements, in order to better design transnational solutions to the issues posed by economic globalisation; and that the treaty negotiations on business and human rights in the United Nations could offer a forum to clarify and unify several of the elements that underpin transnational disputes involving corporate human rights abuses, which could also help to identify and bridge the existing gaps that limit effective access to remedy. Adopting a comparative approach, this book appeals to academics, lawyers, judges and legislators concerned with the issue of access to remedy and reparation for corporate abuses under the prism of private international law.

Constitutionalism and the Rule of Law
Author : Maurice Adams
Publisher : Cambridge University Press
Page : 559 pages
File Size : 20,63 MB
Release : 2017-02-02
Category : Law
ISBN : 1316883256
Book Description
Rule of law and constitutionalist ideals are understood by many, if not most, as necessary to create a just political order. Defying the traditional division between normative and positive theoretical approaches, this book explores how political reality on the one hand, and constitutional ideals on the other, mutually inform and influence each other. Seventeen chapters from leading international scholars cover a diverse range of topics and case studies to test the hypothesis that the best normative theories, including those regarding the role of constitutions, constitutionalism and the rule of law, conceive of the ideal and the real as mutually regulating.
The Culpable Corporate Mind

Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
Page : 582 pages
File Size : 24,10 MB
Release : 2023-04-20
Category : Law
ISBN : 150995239X
Book Description
This collection examines critically, and with an eye to reform, conceptions and conditions of corporate blameworthiness in law. It draws on legal, moral, regulatory and psychological theory, as well as historical and comparative perspectives. These insights are applied across the spheres of civil, criminal, and international law. The collection also has a deliberate focus on the 'nuts and bolts' of the law: the legal, equitable and statutory principles and rules that operate to establish corporate states of mind, on which responsibility as a matter of daily legal practice commonly depends.The collection therefore engages strongly with scholarly debates. The book also speaks, clearly and cogently, to the judges, regulators, legislators, law reform commissioners, barristers and practitioners who administer and, through their respective roles, incrementally influence the development of the law at the coalface of legal practice.
