This Research Handbook considers many aspects of corporate liability, beginning with a fundamental explanation of what the company is, through depictions of corporate liability in theory, and on to the key areas of liability in practice. While including a timeless distillation of the guiding principles, each contribution explores the emerging boundaries of corporate liability issues so as to bring understanding to new levels. Cross-jurisdictional and interdisciplinary in nature, the contributions cover corporate and participant liability under statutory law, tort and criminal law, and corporate fiduciary and securities law. Specific perspectives include those on corporate vicarious liability, accountability for AI labour, and procedural law challenges. This Research Handbook examines not only the current state of play, but also predicts trends likely to feature in the development of corporate liability, including those in the areas of ESG and technology. Featuring contributions from leading scholars in their respective fields, this Research Handbook will be essential reading for scholars and students of commercial law, corporate law, and corporate governance. It will also be beneficial for judges, legal practitioners, and policymakers specialising in corporate liability.

This new book is the first comprehensive and integrated account of the law on liability for negligent misstatements. Designed as a comprehensive guide for practitioners, it outlines the essential issues that must be considered in determining whether a client will have a cause of action for negligent misstatement. It will also discuss in detail those issues that are likely to prove most contentious. In England, liability for negligent misstatements provides the most important form of tortious redress for financial losses. The examination of this complex law takes place at a number of levels. First, the book attempts to unravel the 'three-stage test' which provides the conceptual framework within which duties of care are analysed in tort. An account of the function of each stage of the test is offered. Second, the book defines what constitutes 'physical damage' and 'pure economic loss' and examines the major ways in which the latter kind of loss arises. Third, the book outlines the elements of liability in physical damage and pure economic loss cases. The treatment of liability by negligent misstatements is completed with a full discussion of breach, causation, and the defences.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 1998 im Fachbereich VWL - Konjunktur und Wachstum, Note: 1.7, Universitat zu Koln, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Marktwirtschaftliche Systeme werden unter anderem an der Effizienz der Allokation von Res-sourcen (Produktionsfaktoren) und Gutern gemessen. Unter der Voraussetzung der Funktions-fahigkeit eines Marktes dienen Preise als Knappheitsindikatoren, die das Ergebnis des Marktmechanismus darstellen. Marktprozesse selbst werden wiederum uber Preise gesteuert (Preismechanismus) und sollen zu einem Ausgleich von Angebot und Nachfrage fuhren. In den volkswirtschaftlichen Theorien findet dieser Markt- bzw. Preismechanismus auf allen Markten, demgemass auch auf dem Kapitalmarkt, seine Anwendung. Auf einem funktionsfahigen (vollkommenen) Wettbewerbsmarkt mit vielen Marktteilneh-mern, der in der Theorie oft mit dem sehr restriktiven Modell der vollstandigen Konkurrenz beschrieben wird, fuhren viele Anbieter und Nachfrager Transaktionen (Tausch von Gutern) durch. Sind die einzelnen Akteure des Marktes in Relation zum Gesamtmarkt marktohnmach-tig und existieren keine Informationsasymmetrien, die geeignet sind, Vorteile einer Marktsei-te auf Basis dieser Informationen zu realisieren, kann von einem effizienten Marktergebnis ausgegangen werden
