By way of introduction, the book commences by considering the legal indentification of a company director and the general corporate responsibilities and duties expected from a director of an insolvent company.  Following the introduction, the first part of the work is devoted to an examination of the statutory provisions which may potentially render a director to be made personally liable to contribute to the debts and liabilities of an insolvent company.  Accordingly, Part I of this book considers the law governing misfeasance proceedings, fraudulent trading, wrongful trading, phoenix companies and the misuse of corporate names under section 349(4) of the Companies Act 1985. Part II of the book involves an examination of the disqualification process under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.  The ability and powers of the courts to impose disqualification orders have generated an abundance of case law.  Part II commences with a general analysis of the disqualification process before moving on to specifically concentrate its attention on section 6 of the Act, namely the disqualification of directors for unfit conduct.  The final chapter of the work involves an analysis of the procedural aspects of the disqualification process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I - Personal Liability of Company Directors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 - Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 - Misfeasance Proceedings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 - Fraudulent Trading \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 - Wrongful Trading\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 - The Phoenix Syndrome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 - Section 349(4) of the Companies Act 1985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II - Disqualification of Company Directors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 - The Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 - Disqualification for Unfit Conduct in the Management of an Insolvent Company (section 6, CDDA 1986)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9  - Procedural and Evidential Matters Pertinent to the CDDA 1986\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Griffin is a Reader in Law,University of Wolverhampton.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e is Reader in Law at University College London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dr. iur (Hamburg)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 March 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHart Publishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781841130750\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.92\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515273511052,"sku":"9781841130750","price":274.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_5db4cb93-5c79-4527-9929-aeb28b0f0f92.jpg?v=1784691460","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781841130750","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
