Author Description

Business Law provides practical, up-to-date coverage of company, partnership, taxation, and insolvency law, plus all relevant aspects of EU law. The manual is ideal for students on the Legal Practice Course and provides all of the relevant material students need to understand the latest legal developments affecting business law transactions. Coverage of the Companies Act 2006 is fully integrated into the book for the 2009-2010 edition to mirror the emphasis that business law courses place on this important piece of legislation. Additional emphasis has been placed on business accounts, and coverage of some of the 'special topics' previously covered towards the end of the book have been moved to within the main body of the text, giving a more coherent text. Examples are used throughout the manual enabling students to contextualize their learning effectively.Development questions are included at the end of the book to test students' awareness of issues raised. Extensive and updated statutory references allow students to cross-reference to appropriate primary sources, or use the guide to interpret such sources.Online Resource CentreBusiness Law is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre providing student learning activities written by the authors. These scenario based multiple choice questions are freely accessible and encourage students to assess their own knowledge and understanding. The questions and accompanying feedback link directly to the material within the text and can be printed out to allow students to build up a permanent record of the exercises they have completed.
