Author: Lang Thai

ISBN: 1000958558
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 240

This book is the first comprehensive study of the statutory derivative action in Australia, using the Australian model as a reference point and comparing it with the UK, Canada, Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong and USA counterparts. The book includes an empirical study covering over a twenty-year period from the date the statutory framework came into operation, coupled with extensive case law analysis and comparisons with other jurisdictions.

While some countries have statutory derivative action, there are still countries that do not have the statutory framework that are considering introducing it into their corporate law. This book provides insights and suggestions for lawmakers, litigation practitioners and researchers worldwide in reforming their existing model.

Derivative Actions in Chinese Company Law

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Derivative actions, which allow individual shareholders to sue controlling shareholders and managers on behalf of the company, are designed to deter and combat mismanagement. However, the need to balance the interests of minority shareholders and corporate efficiency in a countryè^--s company law demands legal crafting that is both of a high order and responsive to the countryè^--s distinctive character, and solutions in this respect are quite different across jurisdictions. China, the second-largest economy in the world today, therefore merits special consideration.

Collective Actions
Author: Stefan Wrbka
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107379849
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 457
Book Description
This volume of essays draws together research on different types of collective actions: group actions, representative actions, test case procedures, derivative actions and class actions. The main focus is on how these actions can enhance access to justice and on how to balance the interests of private actors in protecting their rights with the interests of society as a whole. Rather than focusing on collective actions only as a procedural device per se, the contributors to this book also examine how these mechanisms relate to their broader social context. Bringing together a broad range of scholarship from the areas of competition, consumer, environmental, company and securities law, the book includes contributions from Asian, European and North American scholars and therefore expands the scope of the traditional European and/or American debate.

Regulation and the Global Financial Crisis
Author: Daniel Cash
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429576536
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
The Financial Crisis was a cross-sector crisis that fundamentally affected modern society. Regulation, as a concept, was both blamed for allowing the crisis to happen, but also tasked with developing and implementing solutions in the wake of the crash. In this book, a number of specialists from a range of fields have contributed their insights into the effect of the Financial Crisis upon the regulatory frameworks affecting their fields, how regulators have responded to the Crisis, and then what this may mean for the future of regulation within those industries. These analyses are joined by a picture of past financial crises – which reveals interesting patterns – and then analyses of architectural regulatory models that were fundamentally affected by the Crisis. The book aims to allow sector specialists the freedom to share their insights so that, potentially, a broader picture can be identified. Providing an interesting and thought-provoking account of this societally impactful era, this book will help the reader develop a more informed understanding of the potential future of financial regulation. The book will be of value to researchers, students, advanced level students, regulators, and policymakers.

Chinese Companies and the Hong Kong Stock Market
Author: Flora Xiao Huang
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134671040
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Listing by companies from one country on the stock market of another country is a device often used both to raise capital in, and to increase bonding with, the target country. This book examines the listing by Chinese companies on the Hong Kong stock market. It discusses the extent of the phenomenon, compares the two different regulatory regimes, and explores the motivations for the cross-listing. It argues that a key factor, in addition to raising capital and bonding with the Hong Kong market, is Chinese companies’ desire to encourage legal and regulatory reforms along Hong Kong lines in mainland China, in order to develop and open up China’s domestic capital markets.
