Butterworths Company Law Handbook is widely regarded as the essential company law reference work. This 2008 Supplement to the 21st edition of the "Blue Book" gives the practitioner access to key companies legislation updated to 6 April 2008.

The Supplement complements the material in the 21st edition, so that practitioners can use the two books in conjunction with minimum duplication, benefiting from access to the most up to date companies legislation at this time of rapid change.

• The first book to include legislation consolidated to 6 April 2008
• Includes all CA 2006 commencements and regulations to date, including the 2008 Consequential Amendments Order
• Technical annotations and formatting indicate clearly to the practitioner what is in force, how and when
• Provides access to the current model articles and interim Table A

The 2008 Supplement contains the text of the Companies Act 1985 and the Companies Act 1989, fully updated to 6 April 2008, including the effects of the 2008 Consequential Amendments Order. Underlining has been introduced to clearly indicate provisions which have been repealed with savings – including where that provision now only applies to LLPs.

It also contains the up to date text of the Companies Act 2006, including the effect of all six commencement orders, together with the Explanatory Notes to the Act and full destination and derivation tables.

The full text of over 30 new statutory instruments made under the 2006 Act since publication of the 21st edition are also included, as well as the Companies Act 1985 Table A and ‘at a glance’ tables of statutory instruments and commencements for the 2006 Act.

The Supplement is completed by the inclusion of the latest drafts of the Companies (Model Articles) Regulations 2008 and the Overseas Companies Regulations 2008, and a comprehensive index to aid practitioners as they navigate the new regulatory system.
