Download or read book Enterprise Act 2002 written by and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2002 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Director General of Fair Trading will be replaced (with effect from 1 April 2003) by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT). New independent competition bodies will take decisions on merger and market investigations using competition-based tests rather than the current public interest test. A maximum penalty of five years in prison will deter individuals who dishonestly operate hardcore cartels. Victims of anti-competitive behaviour will find it easier to bring claims for damages for losses due to anti-competitive behaviour. Stop Now Orders will be extended to protect consumers from traders who do not meet their legal obligations. The OFT will be obliged to respond within 90 days to 'super-complaints' from consumer bodies. In insolvency cases , the use of administrative receivership will be restricted and the balance will be shifted in favour of administration. The Crown's preferential right to recover unpaid taxes ahead of other creditors, will be abolished. Almost all bankrupt individuals will be automatically discharged after a maximum of 12 months. Reforms to the Insolvency Services Account will mean that creditors receive the maximum possible investment return.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the radical reforms contained in the Enterprise Act 2002 have come fully on-stream, Personal Insolvency Law has become a major focus of attention. At the same time, all evidence points to increasing levels of personal debt with the consequential rise in bankruptcies.

The volume presents a critical analysis of the regimes of bankruptcy and individual voluntary arrangement in the context of current policy goals. It examines the impact of the Insolvency Act 2000 and the Enterprise Act 2002, and discusses the treatment of bankruptcy within the global economy. The book will be a valuable guide for students and academics engaged in the study of this increasingly important branch of private law. The study will also be of value to practitioners and policy makers.

Download or read book Criminal Law Principles and the Enforcement of EU and National Competition Law written by Marc Veenbrink and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Article 23(5) of EU Regulation 1/2003 provides that competition law fines ‘shall not be of a criminal law nature’, this has not prevented certain criminal law principles from finding their way into European Union (EU) competition law procedures. Even more significantly, the deterrent effect of competition law fines has led courts in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (UK), as well as the European Court of Human Rights, to conclude that competition law proceedings can lead to a criminal charge. This book offers the first book-length study of whether courts do indeed apply criminal law principles in competition law proceedings and, if so, how these principles are adapted to the needs and characteristics of competition law. Focusing on competition law developments (both legislative and judicial) over a period of twenty years in three jurisdictions – the Netherlands, the UK and the EU – the author compares how each of the following (criminal law) principles has emerged and been interpreted in each jurisdiction’s proceedings: freedom from self-incrimination; non bis in idem; burden and standard of proof; legality and legal certainty; and proportionality of sanctions. The author offers proposals involving both legislative and judicial actions, with examples of judges invoking criminal law principles to develop an appropriate level of safeguards in competition law proceedings. The book shows that criminal law can provide a rich source of inspiration for the judiciary on the appropriate level of legal safeguards in competition law proceedings. As such, it provides an important source of information and guidance for lawyers and judges dealing with competition law matters. "The work is well argued and well researched. Indeed, it is almost encyclopaedic in its use and citation of case law and secondary material....This book provides a valuable resource for anyone (whether as advocate, investigator, adjudicator or academic researcher) who wishes to understand how these criminal law principles are used in, and to protect those subject to, administrative law-based competition investigations.” Bruce Wardhaugh (Lecturer at the University of Manchester) Common Market Law Review, 2021, vol 58, issue 1, page 236

These experts provide the reader with "best practices" on directory architecture, implementation, and enterprise security strategies.
Download or read book Principles of Enterprise Law written by Ewan McGaughey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 815 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major enterprises shape our lives in countless ways: big tech and 'surveillance media' that affect democratic debate, algorithms that influence online shopping, transport to work and home, energy and agriculture corporations that drive climate damage, and public services that provide our education, health, water, and housing. The twentieth century experienced swings between private and public ownership, between capitalism and socialism, without any settled, principled outcome, and without settling major questions of how enterprises should be financed, governed and the rights we have in them. This book's main question is 'are there principles of enterprise law', and, if they are missing, 'what principles of enterprise law should there be'? Principles of Enterprise Law gives a functional account of the 'general' enterprise laws of companies, investment, labour, competition and insolvency, before moving into specific enterprises, from universities to the military. It is an original guide to our economic constitution and human rights.
