Book description
This work first looks at the economic theory, legal doctrines and considerations of fairness, to determine who ought to be able to sue directors in the event of company insolvency. Next it considers alternatives to director liability, before concluding that no other means of creditor compensations provides the same measure of deterrence of improper behaviour by the directors. Director liability is seen as crucial, not only for the compensation of present claimants but for the deterrence of behaviour which could lead to future claims.
