The relevant law dealing with Cyprus’s corporate law is the Cyprus Companies Law, cap. 113. This code is actually an almost identical adoption of the English Companies Act of 1948. As a matter of fact, the English Act has been identically adopted at first, and only later has been modified to a certain extent. The main modifications are attempting to homogenize the Cyprus law and the European Union law. Therefore, the Cyprus corporate code has both European-Continental and English-Common Law characteristics.
