Fundamentals of Corporate Law
LAWS6810
This unit is designed for those wishing to pursue postgraduate study involving aspects of corporate law, but who lack the required previous exposure to the subject. As our postgraduate units in corporate law (other than this one) are all specialised and taught at an advanced level, those wishing to enrol in such units but who have not studied corporate law in a Law School environment should undertake this unit. This unit will focus on the fundamental principles of law applying to public and proprietary companies. The unit will start with a brief history of the development of the corporate form and the evolution of Australian corporate law, before moving on to examine the nature of corporate personality, the incorporation process, corporate constitution, governance rules, duties of directors and remedies for shareholders.
