Contracting with Companies
By
Andrew Griffiths
Description
This book surveys the main rules of
Company Law governing the making of contracts with companies. It
adopts an economic perspective, examining these rules in terms of the
risks they apportion between companies and parties contracting with
them. It reviews the use that has been made of economics in the
analysis of Company Law and considers what guidance this can provide
in analysing corporate contracting. The book then examines the
relevant law and the issues raised by this law, covering the role of
corporate constitutions as the source of the authority of corporate
agents, the mechanisms of corporate activity and decision-making, the
identification of corporate contracting parties, pre-incorporation
contracts and other contracts with non-existent companies, the
contractual power of a company’s board, the protection of
parties dealing with subordinate corporate agents and the regulation
of contracts in which a director has a conflict of interest.
Andrew Griffiths is a Senior Lecturer
in Law at the University of Manchester.
