THE ‘BLUE BOOK’ IN ITS LATEST EDITION: THE ESSENTIAL COMPANY LAW REFERENCE WORK
An Appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
The introduction to this Handbook says it all: here, in convenient and up-to-date form -- over almost 3,800 pages -- is the full text of the most important company law statutes, statutory instruments and European legislation.
Published annually, this essential reference keeps you abreast of the most recent developments in company law; vital if you are a company lawyer, or for that matter, an accountant, company secretary, tax adviser, student, or someone in any way involved in the financial services industry.
As part of the Lexis Library service, electronic versions of the Handbook are also available, including a CD version updated monthly, which includes other areas of law omitted from the main edition for reasons of space.
Vis-à-vis financial services, it’s useful to note that the Handbook contains selected provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA). Those requiring the full text of the Act and other specialist financial material, are referred to the Butterworths Handbook’s companion volumes from LexisNexis, for example the Butterworths volumes on Banking Law, Securities and Financial Services Law, Insurance law and Corporate Governance.
Logically organized throughout, this very thorough and authoritative work of reference contains any number of tables and other graphic devices to ensure ease of use. It’s divided into five parts, plus seven appendices. Part I deals with Pre-2006 Companies Legislation with Part II covering the Companies Act 2006 and Associated Materials. The FSMA 2000 and Other Acts are covered in Part III. Part IV presents Statutory Instruments -- and European Legislation is dealt with in Part V. To facilitate further research, unique paragraph numbers are given to each provision, and there’s a comprehensive index and glossary of words and phrases as you’d expect.
If you haven’t acquired this new edition you will undoubtedly need to, bearing in mind the massive amount of new material contained therein. It’s rather too extensive to list here, but we will mention that it includes the legislation governing partnerships and limited liability partnerships and also notably, over twenty-five pieces of European legislation dealing with such matters as insolvency, market abuse, takeovers, prospectuses and transparency.
To say this volume is helpful to the professional practitioner in company law is to understate the case. Frankly, we would call it indispensible.
