'Less law is better' - The Irish company law review

July 2008RegulationAssociation

Abstract

Major new reformed and consolidated Irish company law is imminent. The Companies Consolidation and Reform Bill, which has been in gestation for several years, is due to be published shortly and will bring significant positive new changes to Irish company law. It reflects the work of the Irish Company Law Review Group, and incorporates its recommended policy changes together with a multitude of technical amendments. Aimed at improving ease of use of company law, encouraging better compliance and more targeted enforcement, the new law will make life easier for users, business and regulator alike.
