The focus will be primarily on individual transactions. The formation and other aspects of international contracts will be dealt with as well as the international transport of goods and international payments. The unit will explore legal aspects of foreign investment, marketing and licensing and the World Trade Organisation. A study will also be made of the methods by which private international legal disputes are resolved, and one particular regional grouping, namely the European Union.
