Interpretation of Contracts

Interpretation of Contracts

This book is a second edition of Interpretation of Contracts (2007). The original work examined various issues surrounding the question of how contracts should be interpreted by courts in particular focusing on the law of contract interpretation following Lord Hoffmann’s exposition of the principles of contextual interpretation in Investors Compensation Scheme Ltd v West Bromwich Building Society [1998] 1 WLR 896. As with the original this new edition provides an overview of the subject concentrating on elements of controversy and disagreement rather than a detailed analysis of all the contract law rules and doctrines that might be regarded as interpretative in one sense or another. The book will be concerned with interpretation of contracts generally (following the rule that there are not different rules of interpretation for different kinds of contracts) but with reference to commercial contracts in particular since this is the area in which the contextual interpretative approach was developed and where it has most relevance. The overall aim of the second edition remains the same as the first – to produce an accessible and readable guide to contract interpretation for law students scholars and practitioners.

Shareholder Participation and the Corporation A Fresh Inter-Disciplinary Approach in Happiness

Shareholder Participation and the Corporation A Fresh Inter-Disciplinary Approach in Happiness

This study provides a fascinating fresh analysis of the virtues of shareholder participation in the context of contemporary corporate governance. By applying recent empirical studies to human happiness McConvill convincingly argues that shareholders particularly individuals should be included in the internal governance framework of public corporations and enjoy a direct participatory role in the corporation if they so choose. Recent studies have consistently shown that active participation is one of a limited number of factors that has a positive correlation with levels of personal happiness however while disciplines within the social sciences have long considered the implications of these findings legal scholars have failed to grasp their significance. Shareholder Participation and the Corporation addresses the dearth of literature currently available by exploring and evaluating the implications of empirical happiness studies in relation to corporate law and governance focusing specifically on the role of the shareholder. It provides a compelling argument for those seeking to analyze shareholder participation in a different light. | Shareholder Participation and the Corporation A Fresh Inter-Disciplinary Approach in Happiness
