Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Shareholder Actions by Andrew Charman Johan Du Toit Contributions by Ms Eile Gibson
An increased willingness to hold companies and their directors to account in the traditional media and the new media via the internet combined with the more frequent banding together of relatively small shareholders to bring joint claims make the legal rights of and remedies available to shareholders more important than ever. Shareholder Actions is a comprehensive guide to the possible actions shareholders may be entitled to pursue on whichever side of the dispute they might be involved. Fully revised and updated the second edition includes a new standalone chapter on Procedure; expanded coverage of other systems of law to include South Africa in addition to Australia and Canada; developments in the law particularly in relation to directors’ duties and derivative actions which have been considerable; and approximately 200 English judgments have been added to the formidable number of judgments referred to in the first edition.
