Commercial law is primarily a practical subject and exists to ensure that businesses in the UK (and elsewhere) are conducted within certain generally accepted norms that take account of differing interest groups. Studying this module will enable you to see how the law interacts with business/commerce, and how it actually helps businesses to be more efficient while taking account of wider economic and occasionally political considerations. Specifically, you will acquire knowledge of the law relating to the major aspects of commercial law: the use of statute and common law in commerce; the interaction between law and business; the extent to which the law can resolve commercial disputes and lay down norms of sensible business dealing.
