Can an obligation to convene an extraordinary meeting of shareholders be forestalled by reference to an alleged illegality under another branch of law? Robert Ryan, an expert and the author of numerous publications on corporate, banking and competition law, analyses the legal implications when competition (or antitrust) law is cited in opposition to long established statutory company (or corporate) law.
Ask the LexisNexis experts - and get a complete answer based on today's law.

Each commentary covers an important case, code, statute, ruling or emerging issue such as subprime, nanotechnology, or climate change.
