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.
