Publisher's Synopsis
The new legal practice course marks a shift in focus, from the traditional book learning of the old course towards an emphasis on legal skills gained through practical exercises. This book on business law is part of a series which will provide a guide to the law, practice and procedure.;Each guide will explain the relevant substantive and procedural law, and where appropriate, will contain sample precedents, documents and check lists, as well as excerpts from relevant practitioner texts. Sample questions and execises will also be included as a stimulus to further reading.;The guides will form a bridge between the notes and workbooks produced by each teaching institution, and the raw material found in the practitioner texts.;There is a guide for each of the compulsory subject areas and for many of the more common optional subjects. There is also a guide devoted to the pervasive subjects and two guides on the skill subjects.;This guide on business law is based on the long-established "Solicitors and their Business Clients" book which was aimed at the Business Organizations and Insolvency syllabus of the Law Society's Final Examination. In addition to company law, partnership law, taxation and insolvency the guide covers the practical aspects of EC law and commercial contracts. It is essential background reading for students studying the compulsory Business Law on the Legal Practice Course.
