Overview
Company Law II follows on from the Company Law I course and addresses more specific company law issues than the broad overview provided in Company law I. It focuses on the critical analysis of these topics, particularly those areas that have undergone changes in the wake of the Companies Act, 71 of 2008 (Companies Act). It will seek solutions to some of the problem areas identified in the Companies Act. The analysis of these areas will be theoretical but with a view to facilitating the exposition of these topics in legal practice. The emphasis will be on the position in terms of the Companies Act 71 of 2008, the Common Law, foreign corporate law, and other international instruments, with reference being made to the position in terms of the Companies Act 61 of 1973 where relevant.

    Course reviews

    • MAP was a great introduction to the commercial side of the business for a health professional like myself. I am now able to identify and leverage synergies between my department and others in the organisation. Because of the diversity and calibre of its students, WBS has helped me increase my network and I have recommended MAP to a number of my colleagues. It was an investment worth more than the rand value of the course – and motivated me to do my MBA!

    • Doing NMP with WBS has provided me with the basic and highly valuable skills as I prepare myself for a leadership role within my organisation. The programme had practical examples which I could relate to my real situation at work.
