Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Students will find this work stimulating, engaging and enlightening. Practitioners in commercial law will find nuanced and insightful articulations of their stock-in-trade.' Sir David Foxton, Judge in Charge of the Commercial Court This book unpacks the themes and controversies that pervade commercial law. Commercial parties trade in three things: property, services and credit. In all but the most basic of businesses, a commercial enterprise must have more than one individual empowered to transact on its behalf. The rules at the heart of commercial law are those that govern when and how a person can bargain for property, services and credit, and to acquire, dispose of, and create interests in assets. Many of these are default rules, which the parties can vary by agreement. Other rules – such as those concerning the priority of competing title claims to assets – are mandatory. Commercial law also involves the taking and allocation of two types of risk: the risk of inadequate or non-performance of agreed obligations, and the risk that counterparties will lack the means to pay what is owed. This book explores the key ideas in commercial law through these five topics: trade, transacting, title, performance risk, and credit risk.
Download or read book Key Ideas in Contract Law written by Nicholas McBride and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to a number of ideas and issues that underlie the English law of contract-an area of law that is often regarded as forbiddingly dry and technical but which is here made easy to understand and full of interest. Taking as its starting point the role contract law plays in helping markets to operate, the book explains how contract law regulates the commercial risks people take, while at the same time placing limits on what may be bought and sold, and ensuring that contractual powers are not unacceptably abused. A final chapter discusses how contract law can be used to make gifts of binding promises to other people. The book provides a rigorous and stimulating journey through the ideas underpinning contract law and is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the subject. 'Clearly written and bursting with interesting and novel ideas, this lively book will be a great resource for anyone interested in Contract Law.' Paul S Davies, Professor of Commercial Law, University College London

Download or read book Fundamental Concepts of Commercial Law written by Oxford Univ Pr and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This convenient compendium brings together selected key essays spanning the career of Professor Sir Roy Goode, arguably the most influential law scholar of the last-half century. Addressing the fundamental concepts and policy issues of English domestic commercial law, and regularly referred to today by scholars and practicing lawyers; these innovative and forward-thinking essays broke new ground at the time of their original publication. The essays are grouped thematically into sections, each accompanied by an introduction from the author which sets the essays in their historical and modern context.

Further new material, written especially for this volume, includes a new essay 'Res Cogitans: Food for Thought'.
Download or read book The Elements of Commercial Law written by Edward W. Spencer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Commercial Law: Containing a Concise and Logical Exposition of the Rules Relating to Business Transactions; A Practical d104-Book for Use in Schools This book has been prepared in response to a demand among commercial high schools, business colleges and other institutions where business branches are taught, for a text of quite moderate size and cost, which shall fairly exhaust the more important branches and topics of commercial law. The aim has therefore been to develop quite fully the topics of greatest commercial interest and importance in all localities, and to condense or entirely omit such subjects as are of minor importance or of local interest. Pains have been taken to make the statements of law brief, but at the same time clear and accurate, and to present the several topics in logical and convenient order. It is hoped that the book will readily commend itself to intelligent commercial teachers, who will require no prompting from the author to enable them to put it to excellent use.

Download or read book Key Ideas in Law The Rule of Law and the Separation of Powers written by Jack Beatson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prompted by the events following the 2016 referendum on EU membership and written during the COVID-19 pandemic by one of the leading public lawyers of our day, this book considers two key constitutional principles, the rule of law and separation of powers, by examining the generality, certainty and predictability of law, relations between the different branches of the state, and the mechanisms of accountability within our democracy. Since the referendum and in the light of the restrictions imposed to deal with the pandemic, and the use of guidelines presented as rules to do so, attention has refocused on the relationship and respective powers and competences of the three branches of the state, the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. They have also placed strains on our unwritten constitution that have been unknown in modern times. The role of the courts and of the rule of law, has been dramatically illustrated by recent litigation, most notably the decisions on whether legislation was needed to serve notice of the UK's intention to leave the EU and whether the prorogation of the Westminster Parliament in 2019 was a matter for the courts as opposed to a political question for government. Set against this backdrop, the book answers the following questions: - How accessible is the law and how does it avoid arbitrariness? - How is access to justice protected? - How does our constitution reflect the separation of powers and the balance of responsibilities between law and politics? - How does our democracy enable majorities and protect minorities?
