This leading work on the law relating to minority shareholders is now in its third edition. There have been a number of important decisions since the last edition particularly on reflective loss, derivative claims and limitations on the right to proceed by those claims. The sections on derivative claims, limitations on the right to proceed by these claims and unfair prejudice have been subject to particularly thorough revision to include these developments in the law.

The new edition also includes changes introduced by the Companies Act. There is a new chapter on directors' duties as far as they relate to minority shareholders, reflecting the prominence of this area in the new legislation.
