This is followed by an analysis of the acquis unionaire—the EU law with company law relevance at both Treaty level and the level of secondary legislation (regulations and directives). It emphasizes the trajectory of EU company law and its development in distinguishable ‘waves’. It then turns to the issue of corporate mobility within the Union, on the basis of the Court’s case law on freedom of establishment, as well as the emerging EU law infrastructure for corporate mobility transactions. The chapter concludes with some speculation about the future of EU company law in the light of Brexit.","PeriodicalId":294743,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Company Law","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121857769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
