With further refinement in Giuseppe d 'Urso, Adriana Ventadori and others v Ercole Marelli Elettromeccanica Generale SpA and others, [1992] C-362/89, IRLR 136 ECJ and Spano and Others v Fiat Geotech and Fiat Hitachi, [1996] C-472/93, IDS Brief 558, EJC. These two cases clarified that the sale of an insolvent business as a going concern is within the scope of the Acquired Rights Directive 77/187/EEC. It is interesting to note the House of Lords in the select Committee Report on the Amended Directive, 1996 affirmed this approach (Hardy, 1996). Although the case of d’Urso v. Ercole [1992] was considered in the context of Italian law, the judgment differentiated between special administration proceedings with the intention of liquidation and continued trading whereby the rescue attempt was under the direction of a court appointed administrator, which was definitely within the scope of the Acquired Rights Directive 77/187/EEC. This meant it could assist in formulating persuasive arguments in similar circumstances in UK submissions.
In the case of Spano v Fiat Geotech SpA and Others [1996] the CJEU again considered, Special Administration and its intention to improve the economic situation of the ailing business. The judgment stated the economic and social objectives within the procedures are designed to avoid liquidation and promote continuation of the business, concluding that the preservation of employees’ rights in such circumstances were within the auspices of the

Every business organization has a social responsibility in ensuring that the environment it operates in is protected. Many companies have identified that they have a major role to play in protecting the natural habitat and ensuring that business is not only about making profits. Some organizations are setting aside funds that are developed in the protection of the environment while other organizations are setting a tree-planting day as part of their annual calendar. Companies have legal and ethical responsibilities that guide the organization in making sure that the environment is taken care of. The natural resource depletion and the environmental pollution have led to conservation groups setting rules that govern the company in utilizing natural resources.

In addition (Chen-Wishart n.d), notes that a company is categorized as a legal personal and operates as distinct from its shareholders. Based on these statements, Betty had not right to act on behalf of Bechdo Pty Ltd and Bechdo has the capacity to sue Betty for acting contrary to the company constitution. Based on the case study, Betty had breach the contract which existed between her and the company laws. If an act carried is outside the objects for which the company was founded to as contained in the company’s memorandum of association which is this case is the company’s constitution, then the acts are deemed to be ultra vires. In other words, the acts are beyond the capacity of the organization. In addition, contracts which are deemed ultra vires are categorized as void (Palmiter 2009, p.59). This can be referenced to Ashbury Railway Carriage and Iron Co v Richie 1875. The doctrine of ultra vires which have deemed the contracts between Bechdo Pty Ltd and BB Ltd, Jillo Pty Ltd, and Con Development Ltd as void has been applied with the aim of protecting the interests of lenders and company shareholders. As noted by Chen-Wishart (n.d), ultra vires is necessary in protecting the interest of its shareholders who depend on objective clause of the constitution to limit the acts in which their money may be used.
However, it can hear almost every employment law matter since its jurisdiction increased. Before 1994, Employment Tribunals could only hear statutory claims while after the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994, Employment Tribunals' role has drastically changed that they can now hear common law claims(Richard Kinder,1999). But there are some law matters of common law they cannot cope with like matters relating to moral tights and copyright, patents, designs rights, trade marks; breach of restraint of trade covenants; breach of confidence; breach of a contract terms requiring the employer to provide for the employee; personnel injury claims. From this regard, certain employment matters still have to be tackled in the civil courts.
However, as an ultra vires act is not void vis-à-vis a third party [Section 25(1) CA 1965], the question of recovery of the company’s property from a party to an ultra vires transaction would not arise. For all practical means and purposes, the ultra vires exception to the rule in Foss v Harbottle is effectively defunct. Any one of the member may ask a court to restrain it from doing something that is ultra vires, in the sense of being beyond the company’s restricted object, Simpson v Westminster Palace Hotel Co (1860). Such a claim is permitted as an exception to the proper claimant aspect of the internal management principle. (Minority Shareholders and Derivative Actions,
There is a clear shift towards principles based regulation in the insolvency profession. The leading purposes of the Code is to provide broad principles that can be applied to a multitude of circumstances with the aim of averting practitioners from justifying a particular course of action via a loophole in the Act. The results of cases such as the Walton case serve as a reminder to practitioners that the Act merely provides a minimum benchmark as to the appropriate course of action and that practitioners should have regard to the requirements of the code when considering a new appointment. Interestingly, Honourable Justice Robertson made the following comment in the Walton case being that he does not regard the Insolvency Practitioners Association of Australia’s guide as extrinsic material appropriate or permitted to be taken into account in construing s 60 and 436DA of the Act. Although this is the case, the Code is still pertinent to practitioners. As stated by Miss Alicia Hill and Jessica Patrick “although the Code cannot be directly taken into account in construing legislation, it has a very important place in regulating insolvency

An ‘outsider’ is incapable to enforce a right allegedly conferred upon him by the articles. This principle was established in Eley v The Positive Government Security Life Assurance Company, Ltd . According to Section-33, anyone other than the company and the shareholders is an outsider. As the director is an outsider, he shall not be able to enforce that provision in the event that the company declines to comply with it. Also, he will not be rescued by the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, because the right of enforcement which the Act confers on third parties to contracts is expressly stated not to apply in
The main objective of labour law as we know see today is based on the notion of securing justice for employees, founded on the assumption that an imbalance of power exists in regards to the employment relationship. As we see the increasing establishment of profit maximising enterprises expanding themselves on a global scale, those who hold managerial positions are becoming somewhat more inclined to use their new found ‘power’ in a way which houses the potential to exploit employees who are seen to have less of an influence in comparison to the company which they work for . It is for this reason that the employment relationship between two parties ought to be properly regulated to ensure companies do not take advantage of their employees, a
It talks about nationals of a MS, if you are a national of a non MS, you can’t rely on this provision. This applies to nationals of a MS or companies that are established in MS. We can’t deal with freedom of movement of companies, as that’s a highly complicated area and beyond our scope.
The section says that at some time before the organization entered insolvent liquidation there will have been a point where the directors knew it was wrong and the corporation could not trade out of the circumstance. The sensible director would stop at this point continue trading. If he still continues to trade he risks having to contribute to the debts of the company under
The Role of General Principles in E.U. Law as Opaque and Uncertain Since the founding European Community Treaties of the 1950’s there has been a noticeable evolution in regards to the lack of provisions concerning the protection of human rights in the conduct of the Community affairs. Primarily this evolution was the work of The Court of Justice, who stated that “the ‘general principles of EC law’ include protection for fundamental rights which are part of the common constitutional traditions of Member States. ”[1] Article 249 of the EC treaty lays out the sources from which the Community may govern, with greatest emphasis being placed on regulations and directives.
