Corporate Disputes & Remedies By K R Chandratre

About The Book

This Book brings together my writings on these foundational themes, with the objective of offering structured, reliable, and jurisprudence-backed guidance to practitioners, scholars, and students of corporate law.

The chapters span a wide range of topics that frequently arise before the National Company Law Tribunal and higher courts: class actions, amalgamations and mergers, corporate and business restructuring, schemes of compromise or arrangement, and the extensive landscape of oppression and mismanagement litigation. They also cover critical questions relating to minority rights, statutory remedies, jurisdictional contours, compounding of offences, statutory interpretation, and the scope of equitable principles in corporate disputes.
