Commercial Law 2007
By
Robert Bradgate, Fidelma White
Description
Commercial Law has been written
principally for students taking an elective in commercial law on the
Legal Practice Course. It covers all the core areas of general
commercial practice, including agency and distribution agreements;
sale and supply of goods and services; international sales contracts;
credit and security; bills of exchange; competition law; intellectual
property law and commercial contracts including specimen sets of
terms of sale and purchase. Diagrams and examples ensure that the
practical aspects of the subject area are emphasised, while the
detailed coverage gives students a good introduction to the
practitioner style texts they will use once in practice. Coverage of
new cases such as Aerotel Ltd v Telco Holdings Ltd and Others; Re
Macrossani\\\'s Application and Lonsdale v Howard & Hallam Ltd
ensure that the most recent developments are considered. This text
offers an excellent bridge between the notes, exercises and case
studies provided by lecturers, giving students a well-rounded view of
commercial law.
