The method of discharge may amount to a breach of contract and hence give rise to a claim for damages. However, there are other methods of discharging a contract that will not give rise to a breach of contract claim namely discharge by(a) Agreement(b) Performance.1.2 Agreement(a) Agreement means that both parties agree that the contract be discharged. Some contracts provide for discharge by agreement for example by expressly stating that the contract can be discharged by notice.Alternatively:(b) The contract can be discharged by a completely new agreement e.g. where one party agrees to accept a change in the other's performance (a 'variation' agreement). To be binding such agreements themselves must be supported by consideration.1.3 Performance(a) This is the most common way in which a contract is discharged. It is important that performance occurs as without it there will be a breach of contract. It would also be inequitable to allow one party to sue another for breach if he himself has not performed the terms of the contract exactly and completely. This is known as the rule in Cutter v Powell.(b) Sometimes the rule is Cutter v Powell can act harshly and hence some exceptions to the rule have developed for example where non-performance has been caused by the other party.1.4 Breach(a) Contracts can be discharged by fundamental breaches of contract.(b) Breach of condition:(i) Straightforward breach is easy enough to understand. One or both parties are not complying with the conditions of the contract. Remember the injured party may only bring the contract to an end if there has been a breach of condition.(ii) Anticipatory breach is where one party indicates that he does not intend to complete his part of the contract. The innocent party (the claimant) can sue on notice.But claimant can elect to ignore the breach, complete his part of the contract and then sue: White and Carter (Councils) Ltd v McGregorIf the claimant so elects he must complete his part properly or he himself will be liable for breach.Actions for anticipatory breach should be started at once otherwise factors may intervene which mean the contract is automatically discharged (e.g. on outbreak of war that would render the contract illegal).更多ACCA资讯请关注高顿ACCA官网：。

2014年6月ACCA《公司法与商法》真题及答案探究四本文由高顿ACCA整理发布，转载请注明出处Question:In the context of payment for shares issued by a company, explain the meaning and legal effect of the following:（a）capital maintenance;（b）issuing shares at a premium;（c）issuing shares at a discount.Answer:（a）Shareholders in limited liability companies enjoy the benefit of limited liability and usually cannot be required to pay more than the value of the shares they take in their company. However, that privilege is only extended to them on the basis that they fully subscribe to the company‘s capital. In turn, that capital is seen as a fund against which creditors can claim in the event of a dispute. Capital maintenance refers to the way in which the capital fund of limited liability companies can be used and, most essentially, reduced. The fundamental rule is that payments may not be improperly made out of capital to the detriment of the company‘s creditors. To that end, company law lays out rules as to what may be considered proper payment from capital and, in particular, establishes clear rules relating to the payment of dividends and the ways in which capital can be reduced.（b）It is possible, and not at all uncommon, for a company to require prospective subscribers to pay more than the nominal value of the shares they subscribe for. This is especially the case when the market value of the existing shares are trading at above the nominal value. In such circumstances the shares are said to be issued at a premium, the premium being the value received over and above the nominal value of the shares. Section 610 CA 2006 provides that any such premium received must be placed in a share premium account. The premium obtained is regarded as equivalent to capital and, as such, there are limitations on how the fund can be used. Section 610 provides that the share premium account can be used for the following limited purposes:更多ACCA资讯请关注高顿ACCA官网：。

2014年ACCA《F4公司法与商法》辅导讲义(19)本文由高顿ACCA整理发布，转载请注明出处2014年ACCA《F4公司法与商法》辅导讲义(19)1 Introduction1.1 “Insider dealing is understood broadly to cover situations where a person buys or sells securities, when he, but not the other party to the transaction, is in possession of confidential information which affects the value of those securities ….” (The Conduct of Company Directors 1977).1.2 Insider dealing usually applies to individuals who have a connection with the company whose securities are to be dealt in eg. directors, employees, professional advisors but can also apply to a wide range of other individuals.1.3 An example would be the company director who, aware that his company is about to announce far better interim results than predicted, buys shares in his company before the announcement.2 The Criminal Justice Act 19932.1 The Act came into force in 1994 and replaced the old Companies Securities (Insider Dealing) Act of 1985. The 1993 Act reflects the European Insider Dealing Directive which harmonises Insider Dealing law throughout the European Union.2.2 The Act makes insider dealing a criminal offence.3 The offence3.1 The Defendant was an InsiderAn insider is defined as:(a) a director, employee or shareholder of the issuer of the securities(b) anyone else who has access to the information through his employment, office or profession(c) anyone who obtains information (directly or indirectly) from either of the above.The …insider‟ must be aware that the information comes from an inside source and that it is inside information.3.2 The Defendant had Inside InformationInside information is information which is …price sensitive‟, that is which:(a) has not yet been made public(b) if it was made public would be likely to have a significant effect on the price of any securities(c) is specific or precise (e.g. … … a take-over bid is about to be announced for X plc …‟ is specific, whereas a mere tip …buy X plc‟ would not be)(d) relates to particular securities or a particular issuer rather than to securities or issues generally. (In other words, information which suggests it is a good idea to sell X plc securities can be inside information but not information which would persuade the market to move out of equities generally and into gilts).3.3 The Defendant either:(a) deals (buys or sells relevant securities) or(b) encourages another person to deal, or(c) discloses the information (except in the proper performance of the functions of his employment, office or profession).3.4 The Securities involved are:Shares, debt securities, warrants, options, futures, depository receipts and contracts for differences dealt either on-exchange or off-exchange through a professional intermediary.4 Defences4.1 The Defences are that:(a) there was no expectation that the dealing would result in a profit or avoidance of loss.(b) reasonable belief that the information had been widely disclosed.(c) they would have dealt anyway even if the information had not been available.(d) they did not expect the person to whom they disclosed the information to deal, or they did expect them to deal, but not to make a profit or avoid a loss.(e) a Market Maker acting in good faith.(f) legitimate price stabilisation operations.5 Penalties5.1 On summary conviction a fine of up to ?5,000 and/or 6 months' imprisonment.5.2 On indictment an unlimited fine and/or 7 years imprisonment.NB: Contracts with third parties remain valid and enforceable at civil law.6 Prosecution6.1 Prosecutions are normally carried out by(a) LSE(b) DTI(c) Serious Fraud Office (SFO)6.2 As insider dealing is a criminal offence the standard of proof (beyond all reasonable doubt) is higher than for civil offences (balance of probabilities). It is therefore difficult to obtain a successful prosecution.更多ACCA资讯请关注高顿ACCA官网：。

The method of discharge may amount to a breach of contract and hence give rise to a claim for damages. However, there are other methods of discharging a contract that will not give rise to a breach of contract claim namely discharge by(a) Agreement(b) Performance.1.2 Agreement(a) Agreement means that both parties agree that the contract be discharged. Some contracts provide for discharge by agreement for example by expressly stating that the contract can be discharged by notice.(b) The contract can be discharged by a completely new agreement e.g. where one party agrees to accept a change in the other's performance (a 'variation' agreement). To be binding such agreements themselves must be supported by consideration.1.3 Performance(a) This is the most common way in which a contract is discharged. It is important that performance occurs as without it there will be a breach of contract. It would also be inequitable to allow one party to sue another for breach if he himself has not performed the terms of the contract exactly and completely. This is known as the rule in Cutter v Powell.(b) Sometimes the rule is Cutter v Powell can act harshly and hence some exceptions to the rule have developed for example where non-performance has been caused by the other party.1.4 Breach(a) Contracts can be discharged by fundamental breaches of contract.(b) Breach of condition:(i) Straightforward breach is easy enough to understand. One or both parties are not complying with the conditions of the contract. Remember the injured party may only bring the contract to an end if there has been a breach of condition.(ii) Anticipatory breach is where one party indicates that he does not intend to complete his part of the contract. The innocent party (the claimant) can sue on notice.But claimant can elect to ignore the breach, complete his part of the contract and then sue: White and Carter (Councils) Ltd v McGregorIf the claimant so elects he must complete his part properly or he himself will be liable for breach.Actions for anticipatory breach should be started at once otherwise factors may intervene which mean the contract is automatically discharged (e.g. on outbreak of war that would render the contract illegal).2 Remedies2.1 (a) The remedies for breach of contract you need to be aware of are:(i) damages(ii) action for price(iii) quantum meruit(iv) specific performance(v) injunction更多ACCA资讯请关注高顿ACCA官网：。
