Summary:

This book is an updated edition of Benoit Le Bars' book ""Pratique du droit des societs en droit de l'OHADA."" The OHADA treaty (Organisation pour l'Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires / Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa) covers 17 African States - mostly former French colonies from West and Central Africa - that largely followed the French legal model. The book is a welcome addition for non-French speakers interested in arbitration and corporate law in the OHADA countries. It will be of particular interest to readers from the English common law background
