About this publication
This work was first published in 1958 and is now in its sixth edition. Generations of lawyers have relied on Hahlo’s Company Law through the Cases as a source of reference in all areas of company law. The sixth edition offers a systematic overview of company law. Its informed selection of cases and materials covers every aspect of the field. Each topic is dealt with through an introductory text followed first by extracts from a wide-ranging selection of academic writings and then by case extracts. Further explanatory notes accompany the extracts. Case law up to July 1999 has been included. The book is further enhanced by its references to unpublished postgraduate theses and dissertations.
