This newsletter is provided on the understanding that the information contained within it is for guidance only, and that the publisher is not in business to provide legal or accounting advice or other professional services. Readers entering into transactions on the basis of, or otherwise relying on, such information should seek the services of a competent professional adviser.

Please accept our apologies for the two minor defects in the CD ROM version of Company Law Memo 2006:

- the “search alert” facility is not yet available, but we will let you know as soon as it is; and

- due to a technical error, the flowcharts sometimes appear too large for the screen.  Try viewing the relevant pages without the contents tree down the left-hand side of the screen.  Alternatively, please refer to your book.

 

Despite these small issues, we hope you find the CD ROM version a useful addition to your Company Law Memo 2006 subscription.
