Publisher's Synopsis
Business Law has been written to meet the requirements of the Legal Practice Course, and provides all of the relevant material students need to understand the latest legal developments affecting business law transactions. The guide provides practical, up-to-date coverage of company, partnership, taxation, and insolvency law, plus all relevant aspects of EU law. This 2007-2008 edition includes detailed information on the Companies Act 2006; discussion of the parts of this legislation which are not in force until 2008 are clearly marked for the student. Fuller coverage of partnership offers students a more in-depth exposition of this topic. 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-refer to appropriate primary sources, or use the guide to interpret such sources. Online Resource Centre This edition 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. They cover the topics students often find more difficult, including partnership agreements, insolvency, company law, taxation, and EC law. New questions dealing with several aspects of the new Companies Act 2006 have also been added for the 2007-2008 edition. The questions and feedback link directly to the material within the text and can be printed out to allow students to build up a permanent record of business law problems and solutions. Updates on the progress of the Companies Act 2006 will also be posted on the Online Resource Centre when appropriate to ensure that students remain fully informed.
