Companies Clauses Consolidation Act

Companies Clauses Consolidation Act
An English statute (8 Viet. c. 16), passed in 1845, which consolidated the clauses of previous laws still remaining in force on the subject of public companies. It is considered as incorporated into all subsequent acts authorizing the execution of undertakings of a public nature by companies, unless expressly excepted by such later acts. Its purpose is declared by the preamble to be to avoid repeating provisions as to the constitution and management of the companies, and to secure greater uniformity in such provisions. In England, companies are generally governed by the Companies Act, 1985
