L. S. Sealy Boeken

This book is generally recognised to be by far the best casebook on company law, and in some law departments it has been adopted in preference to a textbook. The focus of this edition continues to be primarily on the case law.

This resource has been essential for law and business management students for over a decade. It combines case extracts and other materials with substantial commentary and explanatory text, offering context and questioning significance in commercial law. The book is structured to discuss topics not as isolated subjects but as interconnected concepts, helping students draw links across different areas of law. Key themes such as ownership, possession, and good faith are woven throughout, providing a cohesive understanding. Extensive commentary on pivotal decisions allows students to concentrate on critical areas, while European and American examples offer a comparative perspective on global commercial law. Renowned for its clarity and alignment with various courses, the book emphasizes practical application—exploring how law functions in real-world scenarios. Diagrams and questions facilitate progress checks and reinforce understanding. This edition maintains the successful structure of its predecessor while incorporating significant legal changes since 2003 and includes extracts from recent key cases. It effectively combines the strengths of both a textbook and a casebook, making it an invaluable resource for students.
