About the Book

Minority Rights have become more and more topical due to the rise in importance of corporate governance and the increase in shareholder activism. This well-established work on the law relating to minority shareholders provides practitioners with the most detailed reference on the subject. The book addresses the full impacts of the Companies Act 2006. It covers more than 50 new cases, including many relating to unfair prejudice (such as Neath Rugby Ltd, Southern Counties Fresh Foods Ltd and Sunrise Radio Ltd), as well as multiple derivative actions (Waddington v Chan). The book also has practical appendices which include a full range of forms, precedents and statutory material as well as parts of the Companies Act 2006 making this a complete resource for the practitioner. The new introductory chapter is a useful outline of general issues such as the foundations of a derivative claim and the source of the complaint, giving a clear understanding of the legal practice and procedure. The well-regarded team, led by Victor Joffe QC, is joined by a new author, Tim Collingwood. He confers experience and expertise to the material on rights granted to shareholders.

Review :
Review from previous edition The features that mark this book out and make it a valuable contribution to legal scholarship on shareholder rights are its focus on the practical and procedural dimensions of minority shareholders and claims and the sharing of practical experience by the authors Sue McLaughlin, Journal of Business Law This is a very clearly written and informative book for anybody who wants to understand legal practice and procedure of derivative claims, just and equitable winding-up petitions and unfair prejudice petitions in England and Wales based on the Companies Act 2006 being fully in force Sue McLaughlin, Journal of Business Law An invaluable addition to a relatively unpopulated area of the law...it is very difficult to find fault with this work. ..One can only echo the words which find expression in the present Foreword that this work has become 'an essential working tool' for those operating in this area. David Marks, International Company and Commercial Law Review For anyone practising in this area of law, Minority Shareholders: Law, Practice and Procedure is a key text which should remain close to hand. It impressively navigates the reader through even the most tricky aspects. The precedents are also superb and an excellent starting point for anyone drafting statements of case, witness statements, instructions to experts or Part 36 Offers. These excellent precedents, combined with the authoritative consideration of the law and its price, ensures Minority Shareholders: Law, Practice and Procedure will remain a practitioner's favourite for years to come Student Law Journal
