COMPANY AND SECURITIES LAW IN NEW ZEALAND is a comprehensive treatise on New Zealand company law and securities regulation. The book explains the theoretical background to the 1993 Zealand company law reforms and deals fully with their practical implications, some of which are not always obvious. The text also covers the recent reforms to securities regulation as well as the voluntary administration procedure. Overseas authorities are referred to where relevant. Commencing with an historical introduction and discussion of basic concepts, the book is divided into seven major parts. Each of these deals with a key aspect of company and securities law.
