And a Partridge in a Pear Tree!
Christmas is a wonderful time for catching up with family and friends and for taking a break or at least a break from politics. It has provided me with an opportunity to devote some time to the new edition of Bourne on Company Law. Added to the many sins of this government–a Labour government, as Lord Kinnock might have said, is the Companies Act 2006. This legislative delight runs to 1300 sections ,16 schedules and has an index 59 pages long.It is actually the longest piece of legislation on any topic that parliament has ever passed.Hence the new edition– to be fair it is a much needed review of the law and much of it makes a great deal of sense.
I have had to be strong though and not dip into the various books that I received at Christmas time not to mention the Frasier DVDs which my brother kindly bought me. Three more chapters to go and then I can indulge.
