2014年12月ACCA考试《F4公司法与商法》辅导要点十二本文由高顿ACCA整理发布,转载请注明出处11 Discharge, breach of contract and remedies1 Discharge1.1 A contract can be discharged in a number of ways. The method of discharge may amount to a breach of contract and hence give rise to a claim for damages. However, there are other methods of discharging a contract that will not give rise to a breach of contract claim namely discharge by(a) Agreement(b) Performance.1.2 Agreement(a) Agreement means that both parties agree that the contract be discharged. Some contracts provide for discharge by agreement for example by expressly stating that the contract can be discharged by notice.Alternatively:(b) The contract can be discharged by a completely new agreement e.g. where one party agrees to accept a change in the other's performance (a 'variation' agreement). To be binding such agreements themselves must be supported by consideration.1.3 Performance(a) This is the most common way in which a contract is discharged. It is important that performance occurs as without it there will be a breach of contract. It would also be inequitable to allow one party to sue another for breach if he himself has not performed the terms of the contract exactly and completely. This is known as the rule in Cutter v Powell.(b) Sometimes the rule is Cutter v Powell can act harshly and hence some exceptions to the rule have developed for example where non-performance has been caused by the other party.1.4 Breach(a) Contracts can be discharged by fundamental breaches of contract.(b) Breach of condition:(i) Straightforward breach is easy enough to understand. One or both parties are not complying with the conditions of the contract. Remember the injured party may only bring the contract to an end if there has been a breach of condition.(ii) Anticipatory breach is where one party indicates that he does not intend to complete his part of the contract. The innocent party (the claimant) can sue on notice.But claimant can elect to ignore the breach, complete his part of the contract and then sue: White and Carter (Councils) Ltd v McGregorIf the claimant so elects he must complete his part properly or he himself will be liable for breach.Actions for anticipatory breach should be started at once otherwise factors may intervene which mean the contract is automatically discharged (e.g. on outbreak of war that would render the contract illegal).更多ACCA资讯请关注高顿ACCA官网:。

ACCA F4《公司法与商法》知识点讲解(4)1 Human Rights ACT 19981.1 The Human Rights Act imposes a duty in "public authorities" to comply with the European Convention on Human Rights, and allows us to take action in the UK courts for violations of Convention rights.1.2 Prior to the Act conventions rights could only be enforced in the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg which could be time consuming, expensive and daunting.1.3 Now that the convention is part of UK law (HRA98) those rights can now be enforced in UK courts.2 The rights (articles)2.1 The main rights are:2.1.1 the right to life (A.2)2.1.2 prohibition of torture (A.3)2.1.3 no slavery or forced labour (A.4)2.1.4 right to liberty and security (A.5)2.1.5 right to a fair trial (A.6)2.1.6 no punishment without law (A.7) (generally therefore criminal offences should not be retrospective)2.1.7 right to respect for privacy, family life (A.8)2.1.8 freedom of thought, conscience and religion (A.9)2.1.9 freedom of expression, assembly and association (A.10/A.11)right to marry (A.12)no discrimination in rights (A.14)right to free elections.(Note that the Articles are set out in full in your Study Text).3 Impact on interpretation of statutes3.1 As a 'public authority' the courts are required to construe legislation so that – as far as possible – it is compatible with the rights contained within the convention and apply existing common law in a manner that is compatible with convention rights. S2 of the Act requires future courts to take account of previous decisions of the ECHR.If reconciliation with an Act of Parliament is not possible the existing legislation prevails although that may trigger a fast track procedure in the Act requiring Parliament to change existing laws. In such circumstances the court issues a declaration of incompatibility, it is then for the legislature to remedy the situation through new legislation. If the fast track procedure is used this gives ministers the power to alter incompatible parts of any primary legislation by way of statutory instrument.If a court cannot reconcile 'delegated' legislation with the convention it can decide that the legislation does not apply.It may no longer be appropriate for the courts to follow some precedents on the interpretation of statutes which pre date the Act. These may now be reviewed in light of the Act.4 Impact on new legislation4.1 Before the Second Reading of the Bill the Minister responsible must make a statement either that the legislation is compatible with Convention rights, or such a statement cannot be made but the government still wants to proceed. Not all of the Articles can be derogated from. Articles 2,3,4,7 and 14 are absolute rights and cannot be interfered with. In exercising the right of derogation however the member state must be both convinced of the need for derogation and that the response is proportionate to any perceived problem.5 Impact on public authorities5.1 Public authorities are Courts and tribunals and any other person whose functions are of a public nature eg Registrar of Companies and government departments such as the DTI.5.2 It is unlawful for public authorities to act in a way which is incompatible with a convention right. A person who considers he has beena victim of an unlawful act by that authority may bring proceedings within12 months of the act occurring.5.3 The court has power to do as it thinks fit.6 European Court of Human Rights (ECHR)6.1 The final source of appeal (after the House of Lords) on human rights issues is the European Court of Human Rights. There is no appeal from the European Court of Human Rights to the European Court of Justice. Decisions of the ECHR must be taken into account when deciding interpretation.NB. Note that new cases on the HRA98 are being decided all the time. The examiner plans to write an article to consider these cases. Keep checking your student accountant for developments.7 Examinability of HRA 98This is an area that the examiner has expressed to be important so be aware of developments that may be referred to in the press.Make sure that you have an appreciation of how HRA 98 may impact on other syllabus areas.

因此,本文将围绕这些主题,介绍ACCA公司法与商法的相关内容。

公司治理公司治理也是ACCA公司法与商法的一个重点。
公司治理是指公司如何被管理和监督的一种模式。

治理的关键元素包括董事会、股东会和监事会等。

2014年ACCA《F4公司法与商法》辅导讲义(19)本文由高顿ACCA整理发布,转载请注明出处2014年ACCA《F4公司法与商法》辅导讲义(19)1 Introduction1.1 “Insider dealing is understood broadly to cover situations where a person buys or sells securities, when he, but not the other party to the transaction, is in possession of confidential information which affects the value of those securities ….” (The Conduct of Company Directors 1977).1.2 Insider dealing usually applies to individuals who have a connection with the company whose securities are to be dealt in eg. directors, employees, professional advisors but can also apply to a wide range of other individuals.1.3 An example would be the company director who, aware that his company is about to announce far better interim results than predicted, buys shares in his company before the announcement.2 The Criminal Justice Act 19932.1 The Act came into force in 1994 and replaced the old Companies Securities (Insider Dealing) Act of 1985. The 1993 Act reflects the European Insider Dealing Directive which harmonises Insider Dealing law throughout the European Union.2.2 The Act makes insider dealing a criminal offence.3 The offence3.1 The Defendant was an InsiderAn insider is defined as:(a) a director, employee or shareholder of the issuer of the securities(b) anyone else who has access to the information through his employment, office or profession(c) anyone who obtains information (directly or indirectly) from either of the above.The …insider‟ must be aware that the information comes from an inside source and that it is inside information.3.2 The Defendant had Inside InformationInside information is information which is …price sensitive‟, that is which:(a) has not yet been made public(b) if it was made public would be likely to have a significant effect on the price of any securities(c) is specific or precise (e.g. … … a take-over bid is about to be announced for X plc …‟ is specific, whereas a mere tip …buy X plc‟ would not be)(d) relates to particular securities or a particular issuer rather than to securities or issues generally. (In other words, information which suggests it is a good idea to sell X plc securities can be inside information but not information which would persuade the market to move out of equities generally and into gilts).3.3 The Defendant either:(a) deals (buys or sells relevant securities) or(b) encourages another person to deal, or(c) discloses the information (except in the proper performance of the functions of his employment, office or profession).3.4 The Securities involved are:Shares, debt securities, warrants, options, futures, depository receipts and contracts for differences dealt either on-exchange or off-exchange through a professional intermediary.4 Defences4.1 The Defences are that:(a) there was no expectation that the dealing would result in a profit or avoidance of loss.(b) reasonable belief that the information had been widely disclosed.(c) they would have dealt anyway even if the information had not been available.(d) they did not expect the person to whom they disclosed the information to deal, or they did expect them to deal, but not to make a profit or avoid a loss.(e) a Market Maker acting in good faith.(f) legitimate price stabilisation operations.5 Penalties5.1 On summary conviction a fine of up to ?5,000 and/or 6 months' imprisonment.5.2 On indictment an unlimited fine and/or 7 years imprisonment.NB: Contracts with third parties remain valid and enforceable at civil law.6 Prosecution6.1 Prosecutions are normally carried out by(a) LSE(b) DTI(c) Serious Fraud Office (SFO)6.2 As insider dealing is a criminal offence the standard of proof (beyond all reasonable doubt) is higher than for civil offences (balance of probabilities). It is therefore difficult to obtain a successful prosecution.更多ACCA资讯请关注高顿ACCA官网:。

ACCA F4《公司法与商法》知识点讲解(3)

ACCA F4《公司法与商法》知识点讲解(3)1 Doctrine of judicial precedent1.1 Common law and equity are a body of judge-made laws contained in decisions of the courts called judgements.1.2 Judge – made law or case law is whereby judges follow the decisions of other judges. The doctrine of precedent is sometimes referred to as 'stare decisis': let the decision stand.1.3 For case law to be workable as a source of law it needs to achieve consistency. Various 'rules' have therefore developed to achieve this aim.1.4 ‘Rules’:1.4.1 Only statements of law made by judges can form precedent. In turn these statements must be divided up into ratio decidendi (the reason for the decision) and obiter dicta (other comments).Only the ratio decidendi forms the basis of precedent as it is this reasoning which is vital to his decision. Obiter dicta are statements of general law (or hypothetical situations) which are not necessary for the decision in the case and hence are not binding.1.4.2 As the ratio decidendi of a case stems from specific facts ifa precedent is to be followed in a subsequent case the facts of that case must be sufficiently similar.1.4.3 The precedent must have been set by a court capable of creating precedent and not have been overruled.1.5 Hierarchy of the courts:(a) House of Lords – binds all lower courts but not itself (exceptional cases)(b) Court of Appeal – binds all lower courts and itself(c) High CourtJudge sitting alone – binds all lower courts not divisional courtsJudges sitting together – binds all lower courts and divisional courts(d) CrownMagistrates – bind no-one at allCounty1.6 A precedent ceases to be binding if:(i) It has been overruled by statute or EU law or by a higher court.(ii) It can be distinguished on the facts i.e. if the material facts are not the same.1.7 Advantages:(i) Detail.(ii) Flexibility.(iii) Consistency.(iv) Fairness.1.8 Disadvantages:(i) Bulk.(ii) Restricts judicial discretion.(iii) reactive system.(iv) Lack of democratic accountability.1.9 Persuasive authority:These are decisions (e.g. those of commonwealth countries, inferior courts and obiter dicta) which are not binding but may influence the decisions of judges in future cases.。

They cannot be claimed where:(i) Delay defeats equity (doctrine of laches)(ii) The contract has been affirmed(iii) The injured party has not acted fairly8 Specific performance8.1 (a) Equitable remedy.(b) This is a decree to enforce a contract and make parties complete their obligations under it.(c) The court will not make such an order where:(i) damages are an adequate remedy(ii) the contract is for personal services(iii) the court cannot adequately oversee the order if granted(iv) it will be unfair (because this is an equitable remedy).9 Injunction9.1 An injunction is a negative stipulation normally granted to prevent a person breaching a contract: Warner Bros v Nelson. It will not be used to enforce positive obligations.10 Rescission10.1 This entitles the injured party to treat the contract as at an end. The parties will be restored to the position they were in before the contract was made. Hence property transferred can be recovered.This applies if the contract is voidable. A party must be satisfied that the right has arisen or that party will be in breach of contract.更多ACCA资讯请关注高顿ACCA官网:。
