Product Type: Journal Articles
Source: Centre for Corporate Law and Securities Regulation and Centre for Employment and Labour Relations Law
Publication Year: 2005
It has been observed that corporate law and labour (or employment) law are in essence separate fields of legal scholarship and regulatory policy. This separation does not mean that there has been no interest by company lawyers in labour law or vice versa; nor does it mean that the two fields do not have relevance to one another. Clearly both corporate law and labour law have provided certain fundamental starting points for analysis which have helped shape the regulatory scope of each other.
