The Legal Protection Of Minority Shareholders In Uganda.

ABSTRACT

This study exemplifies the law relating to minority shareholders protection m Uganda's legal

framework. Although there has been some studies on the consideration as pati of a wider study on

corporate governance. The existing work has not addressed the protection of minority shareholders

under the new companies' act 2012 with all previous studies relying on the old act. This research

considers the gap between the formal rules and the behaviour of the participants in corporate

governance and indicates the actual outcomes of the transplantation of these principles into Ugandan

law and regulatory practices. This research will ultimately make a contribution to understanding the development of law and policy in Uganda on minority shareholders protection.
