This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, , course: LAW, language: English, abstract: This is a research work on the “roles of the organs and officers of an incorporated company”. In it, the organs are identified as the General Meeting (shareholders), and the Board of Directors, while the officers are identified as the directors, secretary, auditor, legal adviser. The company’s organs take the key critical resolutions cum decisions that sway the company for better or worse. And these resolutions cum decision are implemented through corporate management or governance by the officers of the company. As legal personality, the company has a separate existence from the founders. Yet it is operated by human beings. The company functions through its Memorandum and Articles of Association, which can be altered through resolution passed by the majority of the company members at the General Meeting. Similarly, the company’s performance is also regulated by other statutory law, for example the Companies and Allied Matters Act, otherwise known as CAMA. Most of the company’s officers are appointed by the Board of Directors. However, this is subject to confirmation at the General Meeting. Consequently, as a going concern/business, the company is prosperous when there is a healthy relationship between the organs, and officers, and particularly between the General Meeting (Shareholders), and the Board of Directors. Though the General Meeting works by the resolutions passed by the majority members, yet there are exceptions to this when the court enforces an individual member(s) action against the majority’s decisions. This is an exception to the rule in Foss V Harbottle. The aim is to check fraud and ultra vires activities in the company. To be valid, an officer’s acts shall be done in good faith, diligently, and with care; and the company shall hold the officer liable for such acts. Essentially, the common law held the view that company’s officers owed their services to the company only, and not individual shareholders. However, this position has been rejected by the modern company practice and knowledge. Hence, the roles of the contemporary company officers have been enlarged to embrace serving the company which employees them, the individuals shareholders under relevant circumstances, as well as the generality of the public that benefits or is affected by the activities of the company. Fundamentally, company practices in Nigeria are bedeviled by the apathy of the stakeholders in corporate governances, except when there is a selfis

Download or read book Comparative Company Law written by O. Nwafor and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topics discussed in this book are deliberately comparative and show the different levels of the ground rules for the regulation of corporate operations in the different jurisdictions. The United Kingdom, Nigeria and South Africa are primarily chosen simply on the common law background upon which the statutory provisions in those countries are founded. There are also references to Canada, Australia and India on case by case basis to illustrate the differences in the application of the relevant legal principles and statutory interpretations. The insights gained should facilitate statutory amendments and effective adjustment in the operations of the regulatory agencies and business organizations. The book is written as an invaluable study material for students at the tertiary level. Illuminating the concepts from divergent perspectives avails the reader a broad range of explanations for a better understanding of the subject. Legal practitioners and the judiciary should also find in this work a good source of legal information on company law, especially whenever the need arises to seek persuasive guidance from the opinions of courts and writers on similar developments in cognate jurisdictions to give meaning to those difficult and uncharted courses in the discharge of their daily responsibilities of interpreting and applying the law as judicial officers. The book should be a handy material for those running the affairs of a company in understanding the rules of their engagement.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) can be accurately described as the bible or grundnorm of corporate dealings and governance in Nigeria, which should account, in part, for the pomp and pageantry ensuing the August 7th, 2020 presidential assent of the CAMA 2020 Bill into law. As it signifies the first major overhaul of the CAMA 1990 (its predecessor) which was crafted in line with the English Companies Act of 1985 and although its English compadre has undergone numerous amendments since its inception, the CAMA 1990 continued its reign, which accounts for the overwhelming buzz following its repeal. The other reason can be cited from the innovations embedded in the Seven (7) Part, Eight Hundred and Seventy (870) sections of the CAMA 2020 , with about 167 new sections, some of which could not have come at a better time. This is so, seeing as boards and management alike have been thrown into unique perplexing positions as they continue to navigate their corporations through the unusual normal brought about by the COVID 19 pandemic and efforts to flatten the curve of infected cases. For instance, one of the unique perplexing positions for corporates was, could companies hold AGMs virtually in Nigeria? To which, the CAMA 1990 did not clearly prescribe the mode of conducting such meetings. Hence, leaving eager companies, at the time, to fall to the cardinal principle of law, that what is not expressly forbidden is permitted. CAMA 2020 remedies this as it provides for remote or virtual general meetings. This is just one of several innovations inserted into the new Act. This explains the thrill surrounding its presidential assent and reasons as to the expectations of these new sections as well as the amendments to our body of corporate law. This paper provides an insight and analysis of relevant introductions of the CAMA 2020 as it relates to governance and postulates how these provisions will affect corporate governance going forward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examined the process laid down by the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2004 for bringing a Derivative Action by minority shareholders in Nigeria. The basis for the action is the exceptions to the rule in Foss v Harbottle and the need to ensure that fraudsters who are in control of the company's machinery for filing action in the name of the company do not use the opportunity to enrich themselves to the detriment of the company. The procedure laid down in the CAMA as well as the wrong and restrictive interpretation of the law by the Supreme Court in Nigeria is analysed and the way out suggested.
