The company law landscape is constantly changing and evolving. Since the introduction of the Companies Act 2004, some four decades in the making, law and practice continue to change to meet the needs of a rapidly developing arena; evidenced by the introduction of the Companies (Amendment) Acts of 2013 and 2017, the Security Interests in Personal Property Act 2013 and the Insolvency Act 2014.

Buttressed by contemporary local and Commonwealth case law, commercial law practitioners, company directors and officers, and students will find Corporate Business Principles an ideal handbook on company law in Jamaica.
