A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The third edition of this work being now exhausted, I have taken this opportunity of thoroughly revising and enlarging the present edition. Not only have the many decisions of the last ten years been inserted, but much new matter as, for instance, that dealing with the personal liability of directors on cheques signed on behalf of companies has been added. On this particular point, I would merely say here that the view taken by Mr, Justice Scrutton in F. Stagey d Co. v. Wallis (106 L.T. 544) is that under the Companies A ct, 1908, it is not necessary that the directors should add the name of the company if it is anywhere mentioned on the instrument in drawing cheques or accepting bills. Yet if section 25 of the Bills of Exchange A ct applies to such cases, the addition of words by the directors, indicating that they sign on behalf of the company, is necessary to exclude personal liability, at least so the late Mr. Justice Jelf held in Landes v. Marcus. It is difficult to see why section 25 should be applied where the instrument in itself shows a principal who can be sued.
