This second volume of Developments in European Company Law, published under the auspices of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies'' Centre for Corporate Law and Practice, focuses on the quest for a legal form for small businesses. The debate on whether the traditional registered company, perhaps with some modification, is an appropriate vehicle for small enterprises has continued in Britan, and to a lesser extent in Europe, for well over 30 years. The imperative behind reform in this area of the law in many cases will be political and this is perhaps most dramatically illustrated in the case of South Africa. The British heratige of South African law renders South Africa''s approach to developing appropriate legal forms for small enterprises of considerable interest to Europe. Consequently, the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, in collaboration with the Centre for Business Law of the University of the Orange Free State, organised a conference in London in the Autumn of 1997 on the search for an ideal form for small businesses. The discussions were chaired by Professor AJ Boyle and Professor JJ Henning and ranged across a broad spectrum of issues. In compiling this volume of presentations the editors have focused on those of most direct relevance to the debate in Europe and in particular in the United Kingdom, in keeping with the orientation of this series towards European law.

Professor Leonard Sealy has spent almost the last fifty years studying and teaching law in Cambridge. A good proportion of his time has been occupied with matters relating to company law. Len Sealy''s contribution to this area of the law has been profound, not only in the UK, but also throughout the Commonwealth and elsewhere. As a scholar, teacher, author, law reformer and even draftsman his contribution to the refinement and improvement of structures, rules and most importantly to ideas has never been less than significant. Therefore the occasion of his retirement as the first SJ Berwin Professor of Corporate Law in the University of Cambridge has afforded a number of leading company lawyers from around the world, many being his former students or colleagues, an opportunity to address a series of important legal issues in the law relating to companies and associated areas of commercial law and practice, in his honour. Under the editorship of Professor Barry Rider, the Director of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, and a colleague of Professor Sealy for over twenty years, an outstanding series of papers have been brought together addressing current issues within The Realm of Company Law, as diverse as the governance of enterprises, the rights and responsibilities of management, the protection of investors, minority shareholder protection, the solvency of companies and the impact of technology on commercial practice.
