This book
represents the most comprehensive and accessible guide to
understanding commercial law available. It covers all the topics
taught on commercial law courses, not as separate elements, but as
part of a coherent whole. Each subject is related to the others, and
linked by fundamental principles and concepts such as ownership,
possession, attornment, notice, and good faith. The emphasis
throughout is on the practical application of the law in its business
context. A detailed and authoritative introduction covers the
foundations of commercial law, whilst the inclusion of extracts from
Commonwealth sources provides students with otherwise unavailable
material.
Readership:
Undergraduate students taking an elective course in commercial law,
and for those on business and managerial degree courses.
