The survey also studied whether the firms had changed their sales and marketing practices after these laws were passed.

Abstract:
Titles in the Core Text series take the reader straight to the heart of the subject, providing focused, concise, and reliable guides for students at all levels. This chapter deals with the regulatory regime governing corporate rescue and liquidations. It first considers two procedures that were introduced by the Insolvency Act 1986 aimed at implementing the objective of corporate rescue: the administration order and the company voluntary arrangement, the former of which has been fundamentally reformed by the Enterprise Act 2002. It then discusses voluntary winding-up by companies, members, and creditors under the 1986 Act, as well as the grounds on which the court may initiate compulsory winding-up. The chapter also examines the consequences of a winding-up petition on dispositions of company property; winding-up in the public interest; the duties and functions of the liquidator; provisions allowing avoidance of transactions entered into prior to liquidation; the personal liability of directors under the Insolvency Act 1986; and distribution of surplus assets following liquidation. Finally, it outlines a number of amendments to the 1986 Act.

Abstract:
The defining characteristic of administration is the imposition of a temporary stay on creditor remedies—usually referred to as the ‘moratorium’. As originally conceived the procedure was merely a means to an end and not an end in itself. However, administration was radically recast by amendments made to the Act by the Enterprise Act 2002 which enabled administrators to make distributions to creditors and for the company to be dissolved following administration without the need for a liquidation. In consequence of those changes, administration can take one of two forms. First, and as before, it may be used simply to protect the insolvent estate whilst a rescue or a more advantageous realization of assets takes place, following which the company will either survive or it will be wound up in accordance with the procedures considered in the previous chapter.

Abstract:
The Reconstruction era Fourteenth Amendment (1868) has long been the primary U.S. statutory source for corporate personhood. But for nearly fifty years the story of the rise of corporate personhood rights entwined with the fraught story of legal personhood for African Americans was effectively ignored. This chapter fills a gap in legal and cultural scholarship to begin to address this blind spot, first by analyzing the period’s jurisprudence of the “corporation sole” (a corporation of one person) in contrast to that of African American persons. Drawing together case analysis, discussions of legal formalism, and interpretations of two major novels—George Schuyler’s satirical Black No More (1931) and Ralph Ellison’s acclaimed Invisible Man (1952)—this chapter depicts the legal and literary effects of a half-century’s misconstruing of the Fourteenth Amendment, in which “any person” was defined not to mean any married woman, child, and/or African American person, but, rather, any corporate or white male person. To imagine a less racist world, Schuyler hypothesizes African American rights and freedoms secured by the abstract corporate form and a new scientific technology protected by the laws of intellectual property. Later, Ellison provides a powerful and very different critique of state-sanctioned personhood as irretrievably debased because it is abstract. Both authors expose and challenge through satire and fantasy the obscene, unmentionable inequality between reduced rights for African Americans and human rights for corporate persons.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the development and nature of a limited liability partnership (LLP), created under the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 (LLP Act). Under the Act, any two or more persons (individuals or companies) may form an LLP as an alternative to a partnership, a limited partnership, and a private company. The impetus for LLP came from large accountancy firms concerned by the potential liability of partners for substantial damages awarded against them for the negligence of one partner, often in a totally different office. The aim was to set up a new entity which would preserve the internal informality of the traditional partnership whilst giving the partners limited liability for the debts of the firm. The chapter analyses the provisions of the LLP Act, and the other major sources of laws covering LLPs.
