Abstract
With the objects of facilitating the creation of business combinations, promoting flexibility and enhancing efficiency in the South African economy the legislature liberalised fundamental transaction policy under the Companies Act 71 of 2008 ('the Act'). Two of the leading reforms were: limiting the court's involvement in the approval of fundamental transactions to specified circumstances, and the introduction of the innovative American concept of amalgamations and mergers ('M&A').
