Talk:Corporations Act 2001

It's probably important to mention the significance of Re Wakim; ex parte McNally in this article - and the effect that had on the (then) extant Corporations Law. Sambo 15:59, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I couldn't find any links on the web which support the claim "It is presently the largest corporations statute in the world". Is there a reference to back this up?

I realise it's large, here are my page counts thus far:


 * Corporations Act 2001, 2249 pages in 5 volumes.
 * Corporations Regulations 2001, 1099 pages in 11 volumes.
 * Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001, 331 pages.

Supposedly countries like New Zealand and Sweden have equivalent corporations law that number just a few hundred pages, but I'd like to see if somebody has done some kind of formal research on the matter. 59.167.219.247 06:38, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
