ABSTRACT

15.1 Part 17 of the CA 2006 contains provisions dealing with a company’s share capital. It replaces Part 4 and (in part) Part 5 of the CA 1985, and contains a mixture of new sections which replace corresponding provisions in the CA 1985, and sections that restate corresponding provisions in that Act.
