Company Law and the Human Rights Act 1998

The Human Rights Act 1998 introduced wide-reaching implications for Company Law. This topical work provides a comprehensive examination of the impact of the Act, looking at locus standi, protection of property, privacy and state economic regulation. The work combines exposition and critical analysis of the underlying principles of the subject with appropriate reference to other common law and civil law jurisdictions. It also examines taxation, accounting, public law issues, labour law, environmental law and contempt. Company Law and the Human Rights Act 1998 meets the needs of practitioners and in-company legal departments in addition to postgraduate students and academics in this area. Includes a foreword by Lord Hoffmann.
