Corporate Business Principles

Corporate Business Principles Synopsis

The 2004 Companies Act of Jamaica was an eagerly anticipated revision of the previous 1965 statute. Enacted with the aim of settling anomalies and bringing the law in line with contemporary practice, the “new” Act continued to be amended and updated to facilitate the ease of doing business. In Corporate Business Principles, Ffolkes Goldson provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of company law and practice and discusses the implications of the changes for businesses. From changes to the incorporation requirements and procedures, to the changes in share capital provisions and company finance, readers are given a front row seat to the dynamic nature of company law encompassed not only in the 2004 Companies Act and its amendments (2013 and 2017) but also in the Security Interests in Personal Property Act 2013 and the Insolvency Act 2014. Clearly organised into chapters covering Incorporation, Corporate Finance, Corporate Management, Complainant’s Remedies and Winding Up, and reinforced and enhanced by the emerging case law – local, regional and international– Corporate Business Principles is the go-to source for company secretaries and in-house legal counsel as well as corporate practitioners and students.
