This module provides a comprehensive structure for studying commercial law, emphasising the practical application of key principles in real-world scenarios. While commercial law is based on contract law, it also includes elements of tort, equity, and property law. This module, therefore, explores various areas of commercial law while building on foundational legal knowledge gained in earlier studies.
The aim of this module is to develop students’ understanding of the regulatory framework within which legal services are provided and the professional standards required in commercial legal practice. It seeks to enhance students’ knowledge of commercial law, focusing on key areas such as commercial contracts, the sale of goods, consumer law, the law of agency, business organisations and partnerships, and dispute resolution. The module also emphasises the acquisition of practical legal skills such as drafting, legal writing, research, advocacy, interviewing, and case analysis, enabling students to meet client objectives effectively while working collaboratively within a legal team.
