Only in case of public offer, prospectus is needed. 1. Pvt Co. Does not need prospectus. Section 42 applies 2. If public offer done by public company, prospectus applicable 3. Underwriter already must have read the full prospectus with details as he is purchasing shares on temp basis. Hence abridged prosp (summary) Not needed.

It said if prospectus is issued to single person prospectus isn’t needed 2 or more person if issued then prospectus needed Nash vs Lynde

These are case specific judgements. The facts of those specific cases required court to make deeper interpretation. However, Private company cannot offer shares to public at any cost and thus prospectus is not required. A public company must first ascertain whether it wants to offer shares to public or private individuals. Accordingly, prospectus provisions will come in picture.
