Chapter 1: Theoretical Foundation
Chapter 2: Comparative Analysis
Chapter 3: The Legal Basis for Protection of Company’s Legal Interests
Chapter 4: The Enforcement Framework under the 2008 Companies Act
This work offers a powerful critique of the traditional shareholder-focused corporate law that has long dominated the US and UK. It challenges the exclusion of key stakeholders—employees, creditors, and communities—from corporate decision-making. Through a comparative lens, it highlights South Africa’s 2008 Companies Act as a beacon of progress, offering a more inclusive legal framework that empowers non-shareholder voices. This work calls for a bold reimagining of corporate law, one that balances profit with purpose, and champions a future where all stakeholders are heard, valued, and protected.
