Summary:

This book focuses on current issues and developments in eight areas of commercial law: patents, credit card fraud, transnational insolvency, the oversubscription of initial public offerings, the disqualification of company directors, the protection of company creditors, cross-border taxation, and unit trusts. A primary theme of most chapters is the impact of recent and ongoing commercial law reform. Many of the authors discuss recent amendments to Hong Kong's commercial law and proposals of the Law Reform Commission or other bodies. The authors also make their own proposals for improving Hong Kong's legislation and case law.
