  • Notes on ebook formats

From 1 May 2011 company law in South Africa was dramatically altered: the 1973 Act which had governed companies for the life-times of most business people and lawyers in South Africa was replaced by the Companies Act of 2008, as amended in March 2011. A new era of company law dawned, and with it a host of new concepts, rights, remedies, obligations, procedures and sanctions were introduced.

These fundamentally affect the way that every business operates and the advice and practice of every lawyer, accountant or other professional adviser. This book, the first to cover the new Act and the new regulations, provides the hand-holding, the insight, and the understanding that business and their advisers require in order not to be wrong-footed by the new regime.

Features

  • Based on the new Act and the new Regulations
  • The first book on the new Act to incorporate coverage of the final regulations
  • Written by an expert in corporate law who has years of experience advising top companies on their legal issues and who has made mastery of the new Act a top priority
  • Comprehensive insight into the practical impact of the changed legislation
  • Written in a style accessible to layman and professional adviser alike.

"Carl Stein has done a splendid job in his description and analysis of the new Act, precisely because of his ability to explain the basis upon which the Act has been built. But he has done far more. As befits a lawyer with so rich an experience of company law and corporate life, Mr Stein provides practical guidance as to the ramifications of each component of the Act and the accompanying regulations which have to date received no attention.
For these reasons, this book represents the first sustained treatment of legislation that, unlike earlier changes, particularly the 1973 Act, introduces major innovation for which there is scarce domestic precedent to date, if any. While its primary audience may well be the practitioner and business executive, this book will surely also assist the academic community to parse the myriad of new sections and their implications for the running of a company."
Dennis Davis, Judge President, Competition Appeal Court; Honorary Professor of Law at the University of Cape Town

"I find the book extremely well written, but it is the depth of analysis and detail which I find really useful. For example, I found the summaries of stakeholders' rights extremely well done, interesting and helpful, and the discussion on the derivative action really good. The amount of the detail is also evident, for example, in the discussion on the removal of directors, where you clearly state that a round-robin resolution will not suffice, because the director must be given an opportunity to address the meeting."

Professor WD Geach CA (SA) BA LLB (Cape Town) MCOM FCIS Head of Taxation Department of Accounting University of the Western Cape

Carl Stein is a partner at Bowman Gilfillan in Johannesburg where he specialises in corporate, M&A and securities law. He is also a non-executive director of various listed companies.

Most Siber Ink ebooks are published in Adobe Digital Editions using Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect against copyright infringement of the book. To purchase our ebooks you will need to do so through an accredited Siber Ink ebook retailer. At present in South Africa, only Digithis is reselling our ebooks.

While Adobe Digital Edition is compatible with most e-readers, tablets, PCs and laptops, it is not compatible with Kindle. We suggest you check with the supplier you are purchasing the ebook from to ensure you are able to download the title you are ordering to the device you wish to read it on.

Some of our titles are also published in epub format. These are compatible with a wide variety of readers. The essential difference between pdf and epub format is that the former has a fixed page-size format (so, for example, is less suited to reading on a cell phone), while the latter is a reflowable format.
