Gates Company Law And Practice In Zambia

GATES COMPANY LAW AND PRACTICE IN ZAMBIA is the first book of its kind by a Zambian author with a comprehensive take and profound analysis of the Companies Act Chapter 388 of the Laws of Zambia. Its focus on the Zambian Act and jurisprudence differentiates it from most texts on the Zambian market most of which are based on the UK Companies Acts past and present. The text therefore merges theory and practice adopting a writing style that is not only relevant and pithy but with sufficient profoundness as to enable the reader to gain a methodical appreciation of topics indispensable to a definitive comprehension of Zambian Company Law and Practice. In this way the text provides not only an introduction to the subject but an in depth explanation of what sometimes may seem a daunting subject. Features of the First Edition - Considers with unrivalled detail and focus the Companies Act Chapter 388 of the Laws of Zambia and its attendant amendments and puts Zambian case law development including decisions as late as December, 2016 front and centre of its analysis of Zambian company law. - Contains the historical development of company law in Zambia. - Includes excerpts and references to contemporary writing on the subject for purposes of giving a wider view of this area of the law. - Contains appendices of amendments to the main Act and Company Forms for ease of reference. - Contains a selection of past examination questions and selected model answers courtesy of Zambia Institute of Advanced Legal Education (ZIALE) for use by those preparing for their Legal Practitioner Qualifying Examinations (LPQE). Gates Company Law and Practice in Zambia is an essential guide for students taking courses in company law and insolvency at undergraduate and postgraduate level in law and for those preparing for their post graduate LPQE administered by ZIALE. It is also an excellent study guide for those undertaking professional business programmes with a company or business law component. In addition, the work is also a key source of information for lecturers, legal practitioners and judges.

The Core Facts, Core Cases series is meant to complement full-length texts on different subjects of the law in Zambia. Written in a concise style, it is a useful and thorough support accessible to students, and practitioners alike. Books in the series are written with the clear goal of providing a rich and epigrammatic view of the subject. To help in achieving this goal, all chapters begin with a general summary of the facts and themes covered in the chapter. The foregoing is then followed by a presentational structure that eases the learning process complete with supporting cases and facts thereof where relevant. Corporate Insolvency law is a detailed and complex subject that encompasses the common law, statutory law, and various regulations. This alone makes it a daunting proposition not just for first-time readers but seasoned practitioners too. Be that as it may, it is a core module at undergraduate level, bar courses, and postgraduate law programmes. It is also a relevant module on most if not all business and professional programmes. The key aim of this text is as a revision aid. It must be, and is intended to be used in conjunction with other, more substantive works like Gates Company Law and Practice in Zambia and Gates on Understanding Company Law: A Conceptual and Functional Approach (from which much of the text is derived) for a more profound grasp of the concepts summarised in this text. The Companies Act No 10 of 2017, like the Corporate Insolvency Act No 9 of 2017 received presidential assent on 20 November 2017. This text, it is hoped, will be a useful resource for purposes of revising company law and corporate insolvency law in Zambia within the context of the Companies Act, 2017 and the Corporate Insolvency Law, 2017. The structure of the text is to a large extent premised on the two Acts. The text also continues the practice of highlighting Zambian cases where these are available. Where the law as set out in the CA 2017 or CIA 2017 is clear, no additions or subtractions are made. Additionally, the text encourages readers to do further research not only on the many cases that are cited but not quoted but from other works that have been published on the topics covered.
