Conway v Petronius Clothing Limited: 1978

The court considered, inter alia, the right of a director to inspect his company’s records. The applicable statutory provision as to a company’s financial records simply laid down a criminal sanction and conferred no civil right enforceable by injunction. All serving directors have the right to inspect the company’s records, minutes and accounts, and if desired they may have appropriate expert assistance.
