Book Description
This specialist text on Partnership Law in Uganda recognizes the fact that most business activities in Uganda are either conducted individually or in partnership. The author compares the partnership with its offspring, the limited liability company and other associations, before dealing with its nature and definition with reference to relevant statutory provisions. This is followed by an examination of the relationship between partners and outsiders, essentially an agency aspect of partnership before considering the relationship between partners, an attribute resting on property, management and fiduciary considerations. The remaining chapters analyse the dissolution of partnership, the link between partnership and bankruptcy, taxation of partnership and the limited liability partnership introduced by the Partnership Act, 2010. The discussion is supported by reference to relevant Ugandan and common law cases. This work is intended to meet the needs of University Bachelor of Laws Degree students offering either the Company Law and Partnership or Law of Business Association courses, legal practitioners and researchers as well as peripheral students of law majoring in accountancy, business administration, finance and marketing disciplines.

Company Law in East Africa
Author: David J. Bakibinga
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 622
Book Description
The text by a nationally and internationally recognised specialist in Company Law had, over the past 29 years, provided the first comprehensive discussion on the subject in Uganda. Currently, it has been revised to incorporate references to the Companies Act, 2012, of Uganda, Companies Act, 2015, of Kenya, as well as the Companies Act, 2002, of Tanzania. Additionally, reference is made to the Insolvency and Capital Markets Regulatory legislation and cases in those 3 East African Community States to provide an East African regional perspective. Substantially, the text deals with the general features of Company Law, including the law applicable, relevance to society and trends and reform including recent provisions evident in legislation on the concept of the one-man company, the composition of the board of directors, the scope of the abolition of the ultra vires and indoor management rules and the issue of shares bearing in mind capital markets legislation. Following is an analysis of the nature and implications of incorporation, promotion, memorandum and articles of association and their significance. The author then examines corporate finance through allotment of shares, public issue of securities, debentures and borrowing by the company. There follows a presentation of the role of corporate directors and other officials, their capacity to bind the company by their acts and their responsibility in the context of accounting, audit and duties of directors and their enforcement. Following the approach of the Ugandan Companies Act, 2012, which is based on the New Zealand approach, this edition of the book limits discussion of reconstruction and winding up of the company (to be appropriately handled in texts on Insolvency Law) and ends with a discussion of the meetings and proceedings of the company.

The book includes ample references to doctrine and cases, as well as to relevant international treaties and conventions. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for any practitioner faced with a property-related matter.
