This article considers how directors' remuneration should be set. It does so in both general terms and in the light of the DTI (1999) paper entitled Directors' Remuneration. A Consultative Document . The DTI document forms part of a general review of company law that is being undertaken by the Department of Trade and Industry. This article explores the extent to which these government‐directed developments can be seen as an extension of the Cadbury, Greenbury and Hampel Reports and the extent to which self‐regulation as opposed to government regulation looks set to dominate this area.
