  This book seeks to set out the chief features of all the major branches of law affecting businesses. It covers a multiplicity of vital legal areas such as the various aspects of the legal system, the law of contract, the sale of goods and supply of services, business organizations, transport, banking, insurance, administrative law, the law of tort and the law of property. The new edition has been expanded to include a section on consumer law. It seeks to ensure that all the recent changes in legislation such as the Courts and Legal Services Act, 1990, the Companies Act, 1989, the Financial Services Act, 1986, the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 and any other new developments both in case law and legislation are incorporated in the text. The book covers the majority of commercial and business law syllabuses of professional bodies, such as The Chartered Association of Certified Accountants, the Association of Accounting Technicians, the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators, the Chartered Institute of Bankers, the Institute of Freight Fowarders and the Institute of Commercial Management. It should be particularly useful for colleges offering the business law options of such bodies as BTEC, and Universities offering business degrees with a commecial law module. It has selective coverage of many aspects of those areas found in the syllabuses of students taking GCE advanced level. The book will assist anyone studying a business-orientated course at whatever level who is required to appreciate the legal framework relating to businesses. It should also prove a valuable reference work for directors, managers, officials in central or local government and others connected with the running or administration of businesses.
