Jan. 4, 2021 • sakshi arya
Growth in a business organization is primarily either organic or inorganic. Organic growth results through the organization’s own internal strategies such as capital restructuring or business restructuring. Such internal strategies result in increased customer base, higher sales, and revenue. This, however, does not result in a change in the corporate entity. Inorganic growth, on the other hand, is often attained by enhancing output and business reach through mergers, acquisitions, amalgamations, takeover and other corporate restructuring which result in a change in the corporate entity. Corporate restructuring, thus, is a means to attain inorganic growth in an organization.

Rule of Law speaks about the supremacy of law, the concept of equality before law and the predominance of legal spirit. The third principle of rule of law that is ‘the predominance of legal spirit’ talks about the judge-made constitution and establishes the supremacy of precedents over a written constitution, as Dicey, who developed this doctrine of Sir Edward Coke, believed that a document cannot be the chief source of law as it can get ignored or trampled upon.
