French company law

Introduction to French company law

French company law is the law governing corporations incorporated in France or under
French corporate law.

== History ==
In the wake of the French Revolution in 1791, the right to free registration for all private
companies was proclaimed. There was a boom in registrations, but this was followed by a
bust in 1793. The law was reversed until 1796 when the principle of free incorporation was
established again.
The law was consolidated in Napoleon's Code de commerce of 1807 using a concession
system. While previously public companies with special privileges were created by a special
act of the state, the Code allowed the companies to be formed according to general company
law rules. Specific state permission was still required. Article 33 recognised limited liability
for members. The Code de commerce was applicable outside France in Baden and the
Prussian Rhine province, and it came to serve as a model for all later European public
company statutes. The first German public company statute was the Prussian Act of 1843,
five years after the Prussian Act on railway enterprises of 1838.

West Kilbride railway station

NoteWest Kilbride railway station

West Kilbride railway station is a railway station that serves the village of West Kilbride,
North Ayrshire, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and is on the Ayrshire Coast
Line.

== History ==

The station was opened on 1 May 1878 by the Glasgow and South Western Railway as part
of the extension of the former Ardrossan Railway to Largs. The present station building was
designed in 1900 by the noted architect James Miller. A camping coach was positioned here
by the Scottish Region from 1954 to 1957, two coaches were here in 1964 and three from
1965 to 1967.Originally a two platform station, the southbound platform was demolished as
part of the electrification works in 1985. The former northbound line (to Largs) is
electrified and signalled for bi-directional working, being used by passenger trains for both
directions, and by northbound freight trains to the Hunterston Terminal. The former
southbound track is signalled for southbound working only and is not electrified, being used
by southbound trains from Hunterston.
The station building still stands but is no longer used as part of the station itself. Since the
ticket office closed the building has been home to shops, cafés, and a restaurant but has now
fallen into disuse.

== Services ==
An hourly service operates in each direction off-peak on weekdays and all weekend,
northbound to Largs and southbound to Ardrossan South Beach, Kilwinning and then on to
Glasgow Central.
