Synopsis

This  unit is designed to introduce students to the impact of law  on
business.  To do this it commences with a review of the components of
the  Australian legal system, the judicial process and the  means  by
which  disputes are resolved or litigated.  The basic  principles  of
liability, whether derived from common law or statute, are  examined,
and  while  the unit concentrates on the civil aspects  of  liability
(mainly  contract and torts), relevant concepts of criminal  law  are
dealt  with.  In addition to the sources of liability agency  law  is
also covered.
