Description
This is a valuable elective for any business student, especially those working in or wishing to work in a business environment involving interaction with legal advisers and with managers mindful of their legal obligations.
An initial practical focus in this subject is to refresh and enhance students knowledge of contracts and some other areas impacting upon business which were relatively briefly covered in the requisite subject.
The rest of the subject is intended to develop knowledge and understanding of areas of law relevant to the modern business environment, such as sale of goods, consumer protection, agency and negotiable instruments.
Students are expected to develop sufficient working understanding of the areas of law to which they are introduced to be able relevantly to advise in the resolution of problems and the planning of strategies.
Aside from the requisite, no other expertise is required; all necessary concepts and terms are explored in the classroom. Students are therefore encouraged to ask questions whenever the territory seems unfamiliar: discussion in class greatly facilitates individual learning, not only by students but also by the lecturer.
