Corporation characterized by members' freedom from liability for corporate debts, and partnership, characterized by inter se relations of mutual confidence and good faith, are polar types. Over the ages a host of hybrid types has evolved between those polar types. In the incorporated partnership--the final stage of that evolution--partnership and corporation coalesce. American and German law recognize the personal fiduciary character of corporate partners' inter se relations for the purpose of enforcing fiduciary duties. Anomalously, English company law recognizes that character under the statutory just and equitable winding-up provision but not for the purpose of enforcing fiduciary duties. A case may therefore be made for recognizing fiduciary duties between corporate partners.

Le traité de la Communauté économique des États de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (CEDEAO) est un accord multilatéral signé par les États membres qui formaient la Communauté économique des États de l’Afrique de l’Ouest. Le traité initial a été signé par les chefs d’État et de gouvernement des 16 États membres de l’époque en 1975 à Lagos, au Nigeria. Avec les nouveaux développements et mandats de la Communauté, un traité révisé a été signé à Cotonou, en République du Bénin, en juillet 1993 par les chefs d’État et de gouvernement des États membres actuels.

This the sis is an in-depth comparative study and critical examination of several wide-ranging problems in the law of corporation finance of Britain and the principal jurisdictions of Canada and the United States of America. The problems examined include inadequate Capitalization, Stock-watering, Reduction of Capital, Purchase by a Corporation of its Shares, and Dividends. The the sis examines the trends and patterns in the different jurisdictions and appraises their merits and defects. The study concludes that the conceptual ambiguities and practical difficulties which abound in the laws of corporation finance are aggravated by the failure of the law to work out rational rules based on a clear and unifying policy for the raising and maintenance of capital. The necessity for such a policy is advocated in view of the inadequacy of the existing institutions and devices for the protection of the multifarious interests involved in corporate business enterprises.
