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 and given prominence, mirroring the emphasis that business law courses place on this central piece of legislation. Additional emphasis has been placed on taxation and business accounts. Examples are used throughout the manual enabling students to contextualise their learning effectively. Extensive and updated statutory references allow students both to cross-reference to appropriate primary sources and use the guide to interpret such sources.
