Modules

The limited liability company is a core component of the modern business world, acting as a key commercial vehicle. With United Kingdom company law providing the basis of the legislative framework in many jurisdictions across the globe, the advanced study of the subject is an important step in understanding the global business environment. The development of company law from the nineteenth century to present day is important in understanding the current laws and regulations governing the operation of business, both in the United Kingdom and beyond. The module will explore and critically examine the law relating to companies in three broad themes: firstly the nature and implications of limited liability, with consideration as to the concept of the corporate veil and the circumstances in which it can be set aside; secondly the nature and purpose of the core organs of a company and the constitution that governs them; and thirdly the rights and duties of the participants in a company. The module will consider the statutory, common law and contractual arrangements underpinning each of these themes.
