The Law of Groups of Companies
An International Bibliography
The law and regulations governing groups of enterprises have undergone an amazing development during the last ten to twenty years. The growing attention paid in legal writing to the specific issues raised by the group phenomenon is a direct consequence of the widespread and increasing utilization of separate legal entities to organize business activities, whether in the profit or non-profit sector. It is increasingly felt that the traditional approach of today's company law does not provide adequate answers for the questions raised by today's enterprise organization.
Few national regulations have paid specific attention to the growth of groups of companies. This does not mean that group law does not exist, but rather that it has developed from its roots in judicial case law, administrative practice and in many particular provisions of different statutes. Legal doctrine has paid a great deal of attention to group relationships, often utilizing material originating from other legal systems. At the EEC level, a directive on `groups of companies' has been envisaged, but no agreement has been reached on its content.
The purpose of the research which resulted in the present publication was to document and orient research by everyone interested in the study of the law of groups of enterprises.
The Law of Groups of Companies systematically classifies the wealth of literature which was thus revealed and makes clear that although formal statutes on groups of companies rarely exist, the law has been developing and concepts, structures and reasoning have kept the minds of many legal writers active.
This book is a publication of the Studiecentrum Ondernemingsgroepen/Centre d'Etude des Groupes d'Entreprises.
