Business Law and Practice provides a detailed guide to the forms of business organisation most commonly encountered in practice, examining their internal concerns, their relationships with outsiders and a broad overview of their possible tax liabilities. As such, the book provides a comprehensive and practical introduction to advising businesses, whatever their structure.

This edition has been revised to take account of the main changes to be brought in by the Companies Act 2006, including the new duties imposed on directors. Both the existing law and the new provisions are covered, in separate sections but with the changes emphasised. The DTI's implementation timetable is included, as is a table indicating the destinations of the commonly used sections of the 1985 Act. The Income Tax Act 2007 is also covered.

Recent case law developments have been added including Nagi v Nagi [2006] Lawtel AC0111971, Strahan v Wilcock [2006] EWCA Civ 13, Vintage Hallmark PLC [2006] EWHC 2761, Neville v Krikorian [2006] BCC 937, Young v Zahid [2006] EWCA Civ 613, Broadhurst v Broadhurst [2006] EWHC 2727 and Sangster v Biddulphs [2005] EWHC 658 (Ch).
