Author Description

This new textbook on business law is aimed primarily at non-law students doing the law element of a business studies course. It is written in everyday language that minimizes legal jargon, and links in to contemporary issues in business and the law using modern cases as well as time-honoured precedent. The book focuses on a core range of key topics, the depth of coverage of which has been determined by extensive research. In this way the book is of a manageable length and devotes more than usual space to examples and clear explanations of the law. Business Law is divided into seven main sections covering: the English legal system; contract law; tort; company law; consumer, employment and agency law; and a final revision section. There is a linking website which provides additional learning support for students and lecturers.
