This book was released on 2015 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In free market economies, corporate laws change over time. Modernization of corporate law is also crucial to commercial growth and to free market economies. The author argues that concepts that have outlived their utility, such as the ultra vires doctrine, should be promptly eliminated where feasible. He proposes a thorough and complete reformation of the ultra vires doctrine in England, where change is only partially complete at this point, to mirror the United States reformation.After the introduction, the author generally discusses the formation of companies in common law jurisdictions, identifies similarities in this process globally, and highlights differences with regard to individual jurisdictions. He then analyzes the ultra vires doctrine and discusses its development in England and in the United States, identifies pertinent factors that have led to its progressive reform in England, the United States and other Common Law Jurisdictions globally, and ends by articulating the doctrine's current status in modern corporate law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Doctrine of Ultra Vires: Being an Investigation of the Principles Which Limit the Capacities, Powers, and Liabilities of Corporations, and More Especially of Joint Stock Companies Corporations of all kinds, and notably joint-stock companies, fill a position in modern social economy of ever increasing weight and significance. 'the tendency in the United Kingdom, and still more in the Colonies and in the United States, is to incorporate every district as the ultimate limit of local government; while the conversion, by the simple process of registration under the Com panies Act, 1862, and similar statutes, of commercial concerns of every description into corporations, is proceeding with great rapidity. Litigation is necessarily incident to change; and the tendency to litigation is not lessened in the case of intangible companies by reason of the facts that the interests concerned are serious, the funds to supply the sinews of war are large, often enormous, and the risks are shared by a large community of members, and not by one only, or a few. Probably in at least one half of the disputes which come before the Courts where the stakes are worth litigating, companies are directly parties or indirectly affected. Consequently during the period that has elapsed since the last edition of this Book numerous decisions of extreme importance on the general law relating to corporations and companies, and specially on the subject of Ultra Vires, have been delivered. It cannot, however, he said that those branches and portions of the Law are in anything like a satisfactory state which deal with the powers and capacities, the rights and liabilities, of corporations generally, and particularly of joint-stock companies and their officials, members and creditors.

Download or read book The International Handbook of Social Enterprise Law written by Henry Peter and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-12-29 with total page 949 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open-access book brings together international experts who shed new light on the status of social enterprises, benefit corporations and other purpose-driven companies. The respective chapters take a multidisciplinary approach (combining law, philosophy, history, sociology and economics) and provide valuable insights on fostering social entrepreneurship and advancing the common good. In recent years, we have witnessed a significant shift of how business activities are conducted, mainly through the rise of social enterprises. In an effort to target social problems at their roots, social entrepreneurs create organizations that bring transformative social changes by considering, among others, ethical, social, and environmental factors. A variety of social enterprise models are emerging internationally and are proving their vitality and importance. But what does the term “social enterprise” mean? What are its roots? And how does it work in practice within the legal framework of any country? This handbook attempts to answer these questions from a theoretical, historical, and comparative perspective, bringing together 44 contributions written by 71 expert researchers and practitioners in this field. The first part provides an overview of the social enterprise movement, its evolution, and the different forms entities can take to meet global challenges, overcoming the limits of what governments and states can do. The second part focuses on the emergence of benefit corporations and the growing importance of sustainability and societal values, while also analyzing their different legal forms and adaptation to their regulatory environment. In turn, the last part presents the status quo of purpose-driven companies in 36 developed and emerging economies worldwide. This handbook offers food for thought and guidance for everyone interested in this field. It will benefit practitioners and decision-makers involved in social and community organizations, as well as in international development and, more generally speaking, social sciences and economics.
Download or read book Regulating International Sport written by Lloyd Freeburn and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a fresh and original account, Lloyd Freeburn challenges the conventional conception of contracts as the consent-based legal foundation of international sports law. The prevailing legal orthodoxy is shown to be untenable, failing to explain or justify international sports governing bodies’ regulatory power or their control over the livelihoods and liberty of participants in sport. The non-consensual jurisdiction of the Court of Arbitration for Sport is similarly tainted. But this significant challenge is not made simply to undermine international sport’s regulatory regime. A sound legal foundation for regulatory authority in sport is both desirable and necessary. Consequently, effective reform is urgently required to support the regime’s legality and to give it legitimacy by resolving the regime’s democratic deficit.

Download or read book Regions and Powers written by Barry Buzan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-12-04 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops the idea that since decolonisation, regional patterns of security have become more prominent in international politics. The authors combine an operational theory of regional security with an empirical application across the whole of the international system. Individual chapters cover Africa, the Balkans, CIS Europe, East Asia, EU Europe, the Middle East, North America, South America, and South Asia. The main focus is on the post-Cold War period, but the history of each regional security complex is traced back to its beginnings. By relating the regional dynamics of security to current debates about the global power structure, the authors unfold a distinctive interpretation of post-Cold War international security, avoiding both the extreme oversimplifications of the unipolar view, and the extreme deterritorialisations of many globalist visions of a new world disorder. Their framework brings out the radical diversity of security dynamics in different parts of the world.
