Commercial Law has been designed for students taking electives in commercial law on the Legal Practice Course, and will also be useful for students taking electives in commercial law topics. It covers all the key areas of general contracts, agency and distribution arrangements, credit and security, bills of exchange, competition law, intellectual property law and commercial contracts, also including specimen terms of sale and purchase. The guide forms a bridge between the notes, exercises, and case studies produced by each institution and the 'raw material' found in practitioner texts. This enables students to develop a thorough grasp of key areas within commercial law before entering into practice. It has been fully updated in light of all recent changes in the law in order for students to have a complete understanding of current legal issues and the new edition includes checklists within the chapters to guide students through the essential areas.
