This is an up-to-date practitioners' manual dealing with solutions for minority shareholders' grievances through litigation and self-help. Looking at and comparing the law in England and Australia, it deals with the common complaints of minority shareholders in listed public companies, quasi-partnership companies, and other types of companies. It covers the list of shareholders' agreements as a means of self-help, and is of value to general readers, especially small shareholders because of the growth of share owning in the UK. The book deals with the history of each remedy and indicates future trends in the law.

This review is from: Minority Shareholders' Remedies (Hardcover)

Remedies are for England and Austrailia. Legal cases are from those countries. I was looking for United States remedies. I did not read book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Survey of Minority Shareholder Remedies, February 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Minority Shareholders' Remedies (Hardcover)

This book provides a very thorough and comprehensive treatment of the English & Australian company law on remedies available to minority shareholders, providing case law and statutory authorities as well as academic opinion and the direction of legal reform. It is written in simple language which is ideal for laypersons and corporate law students alike. The book systematically approaches each of the remedies, such as the common law personal action, derivative action, statutory unjust prejudice provision, and self help measures. What is good is that rather than just looking at the remedies in themselves, she applies them to her categorisation of types of companies into public companies, corporate quasi-partnerships and 'others'. Definitely a useful guide for other common law countries such as Canada, the US, Malaysia and Singapore.
