The Companies Act, 2013 marks a paradigm shift in India’s corporate law regime, and has far reaching implications for both domestic Indian companies and overseas investors with a presence in India. This paper provides a brief analysis of some of the key changes that have been brought about by the 2013 Act which became largely effective on April 1, 2014. Some provisions, however, continue to remain inoperative and are likely to be made effective by the Indian government in due course. This piece makes it easier to understand the changes in the 2013 Act that affect multinational corporations having Indian companies or those looking to make investments in India.

Statute Law Review, 2014

2014

The separate legal personality of a company is the very foundation on which company law rests. The Companies Act 71 of 2008 ('the Companies Act') has introduced into South African company law, for the first time, a statutory provision permitting inroads to be made into this fundamental principle. Section 20(9) of the Companies Act permits a court to disregard the separate legal personality of a company and to pierce the corporate veil in instances of 'an unconscionable abuse of the juristic personality of the company as a separate entity'.
