Corporate Law, 2nd Edition | 2024
Price: RM493.00
Author: Hans Tjio, Pearlie Koh, Lee Pey Woan
ISBN: 9789819400911
Publication Date: 2024
Format: Paperback
Country: Singapore

Description
This second edition of *Corporate Law* reflects numerous updates proposed by the Companies Act Working Group (CAWG) in May 2019. Some of these changes were enacted through the Companies, Business Trusts, and Other Bodies (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2023 (Act 17 of 2023). Many amendments relate to the use of digital platforms, which the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted as essential for businesses, particularly in relation to notices, meetings, voting, and overall communication. Looking ahead, the CAWG emphasized that the Companies Act 1967 should remain as technologically neutral as possible. Continuing the approach taken in the first edition, the authors support legislation that enables innovation and corporate development through amendments to the corporate constitution. While most provisions in the Act are mandatory, as noted by the CAWG, they do not exhaustively define how businesses can be structured. This is especially evident in new fundraising methods that have emerged outside traditional regulations governing shares and debentures. Courts have played a key role by recognizing digital assets as personal property, providing investors with the confidence to invest.

This book offers valuable insights into Singapore’s evolving corporate law through detailed analysis of case law. It examines judicial precedents that have shaped key areas of corporate law in the country. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: (a) the scope of membership rights; (b) piercing the corporate veil; (c) the authority of boards to approve directors’ conflict transactions; (d) core fiduciary duties; (e) shareholder oppression in rights issues and corporate misconduct; (f) the no-reflective loss principle; (g) capital maintenance and share buybacks; (h) floating charges and charge registration; and (i) liquidation, especially in relation to restructuring business trusts and partnerships.

Description
This book offers a thorough examination of intellectual property law, focusing specifically on copyright. It explores how intellectual property law recognizes and protects specific expressions of ideas, balancing various priorities in a pragmatic way. By granting exclusive private rights, the law aims to foster the sharing of ideas while deferring further development until the protection period expires. The book discusses the rights of creators, investors, and users, considering national interests and the promotion of trade through international, regional, and bilateral standards.

In the Malaysian context, intellectual property law is largely statutory, covering multiple forms of intellectual property with a robust body of case law supporting traditional areas such as copyright, trademarks, and patents. The book also addresses related areas such as contract law for rights transfer, and equity, tort, and criminal law for rights enforcement.

Designed as a comprehensive resource, this book is valuable for legal practitioners, students, educators, and policymakers. It provides an in-depth overview of legislative frameworks, recent case law, and various intellectual property forms in Malaysia. Legal professionals will find it useful for navigating the complexities of intellectual property law, while students and educators can use it as a foundational text. Policymakers will gain insights into how intellectual property laws can enhance trade and national interests.
