All companies have articles and all companies have a constitution. It's crucial that both elements are understood by directors, company secretaries, shareholders, legal staff and others. An investor looking to sell shares, for example, may not be aware that directors (with the authority of the articles) can refuse to register the transfer because they don't approve of the proposed transferee. Such are the hazards involved. Company Articles and Company Constitution provides a full and essential understanding of the subject matter, charting its evolution from the 19th century through to the impl

A principios del siglo XIX, la desintegración de la monarquía española desató en la América Ibérica un proceso de reformulación y recomposición política. Los desafíos de las nuevas comunidades fueron múltiples, entre ellos, la definición de la forma de gobierno a adoptar. En este contexto, este libro centra su estudio en la gravitación que la cultura política liberal, y en especial el constitucionalismo, tuvo en el proceso que desembocó en la promulgación de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos de 1824. Asimismo, se propone recuperar los alcances de las tensiones, consensos, conflictos y acuerdos que signaron los debates de los constituyentes de 1823-1824; complejo derrotero que devino en la consolidación de un "pacto mínimo", clave para evitar la fragmentación de los territorios que hasta entonces integraban la Nueva España.

This book provides a systematic analysis of the major structural and institutional governance mechanisms in Cameroon, critically analysing the constitutional and legislative texts on Cameroon's semi-presidential system, the electoral system, the legislature, the judiciary, the Constitutional Council and the National Commission on Human Rights and Freedoms. The author offers an assessment of the practical application of the laws regulating constitutional institutions and how they impact on governance. To lay the groundwork for the analysis, the book examines the historical, constitutional and political context of governance in Cameroon, from independence and reunification in 1960-1961, through the adoption of the 1996 Constitution, to more recent events including the current Anglophone crisis. Offering novel insights on new institutions such as the Senate and the Constitutional Council and their contribution to the democratic advancement of Cameroon, the book also provides the first critical assessment of the legislative provisions carving out a special autonomy status for the two Anglophone regions of Cameroon and considers how far these provisions go to resolve the Anglophone Problem. This book will be of interest to scholars of public law, legal history and African politics.

In a world where basic human rights are under attack and discrimination widespread, Advancing Equality reminds us of the critical role of constitutions in creating and protecting equal rights. Combining a comparative analysis of equal rights in the constitutions of all 193 countries with inspiring stories of activism and powerful court cases from around the globe, the book traces the trends in constitution drafting over the past half century, and examines how stronger protections against discrimination have transformed lives. Looking at equal rights across gender, race and ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity, disability, social class, and migration status, the authors uncover which groups are increasingly guaranteed equal rights in constitutions, whether these rights on paper have been translated into practice, and which nations and protections from discrimination lag behind. As the book reveals, beyond countering discrimination, advancing equality requires fulfilling everyone’s fundamental rights to health and education, essential social and economic rights. Serving as a comprehensive call to action for anyone who cares about their country’s future, Advancing Equality challenges us to remember how far we all still must go for equal rights for all.

Fiji's Constitution Review Commission believed a system of alternative voting in ethnically mixed constituencies would encourage politicians, and parties, to take into account the interests of other ethnic groups. This book assesses their recommendations, looks at alternatives, and considers how they might work in Fiji.
