Jordans' "Irish Company Secretarial Precedents" contains a comprehensive set of professionally drafted precedents, minutes, statutory and practice forms for use or adaptation by the Irish company secretary or his professional adviser. The precedents and forms deal with every aspect of company law and practice and are accompanied by straightforward and concise explanations of their use and application. The introduction of the Companies (Amendment) (No 2) Act 1999 and the Company Law Enforcement Act 2001, as a means of ensuring compliance with and accountability for breaches of the Companies Acts, has brought about a major overhaul of Irish Company Law. A new agency - the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement - has been established and its Director conferred with extensive powers by the Company Law Enforcement Act 2001. Failure to comply with the Companies Acts now has serious consequences for directors and officers resulting in prosecution of offences by way of summary proceedings. New penalties have been introduced and the existing penalties are being more vigorously enforced. This new revised and updated third edition takes into account all the important changes to company law procedures in Ireland following the introduction of these Acts. For the first time, Jordans' "Irish Company Secretarial Precedents now comes with a free CD-ROM which includes all the precedents in electronic format.
