Abstract
This chapter begins with a discussion of public corporations, covering the uses of corporate personality, legal status and liability and relevance in administrative law. It then describes the mechanisms of privatisation and nationalisation, the changing nature of regulation and some regulatory mechanisms, including the regulation of commerce, financial services and public utilities.
