[ Company Law, Business Law and Capital Markets Law in Europe are widely influenced by a multitude of regulations and directives as well as by the case-law of the European Court of Justice. There have already been nu- merous cases in which the ECJ gave fresh impetus to several developments which were slowed down before by specific statutory provisions of individual Member States. The most recent reason for a special focus on the up-to-date developments are the prevailing dynamics in EU-wide harmonization of law in general and in particular the Action Plan on “Modernising Company Law and Enhancing Corporate Governance in the EU” presented by the Euro- pean Commission. ]
