The Companies Act 2006 (hereinafter CA 2006, previously Companies Act 1985) is "a consolidating statute of some several hundred sections", and is the starting point for people interested in studying the company law of the UK.1
Rules of non-state bodies, even though not legislative in nature, are significant as well as part of the regulatory regime. Public companies, for example, must comply with the requirements of the "City Panel on Take-overs and Mergers" when they acquire shares of other companies. In addition, the UK being a common law country, a considerable part of the company law is not to be found in the Company Act, but in case law.2 Some aspects of corporate issues, such as the standard for reviewing amendments to the articles of association and directors' duties, are governed by principles developed in case law.3
Last but not least, regulations and directives of the European Community, which aim at harmonizing certain areas of company law, have also had a significant impact on English company law.
