An Introduction to Business Law in
Northern Ireland is written in a style that breaks down the
complexities of the law in a simple and concise manner, making it more easily
understood by students preparing for either academic or professional
examinations. The core areas of law relating to the functions of modern business
in Northern Ireland are covered, namely: law of contract, tort, commercial law,
employment law, planning and development law, as well as an introduction to the
legal and court system in Northern Ireland.
Company law and compliance, in particular, are covered extensively over five separate chapters on company formation, company
management, company directors and their duties, loan capital and insolvency, and
shares and share capital. Corporate governance and anti-money laundering, some
of the most topical and significant areas in contemporary business, are also
examined.
First published in 2010, this 2nd edition has been updated for all
relevant developments in the law, particularly with regard to the legal system
in Northern Ireland, commercial and consumer law, employment law and company
law.
