Review of previous edition
–The Law Teacher, 2006
The new edition of this popular text continues to provide comprehensive coverage of the law for non-law students in a clear and straightforward manner. Highly regarded, Business Law has been fully updated and is well illustrated with cases and diagrams throughout.
The text is divided into four distinct parts. Part One introduces the student to the nature of the law and the English legal system. Part Two examines the different types of business organisations and Part Three explores contract law, tort law, consumer law and criminal liability as they relate to business. The final part, Business Resources, introduces the reader to business property and employment law.
A user-friendly colour text design aids navigation throughout the text.
Features include:
· Learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter highlight the key points that a student is expected to understand after studying each particular topic
· Case summaries have been carefully selected to illustrate the principle under discussion and are clearly distinguished from the main body of the text. Case commentary puts the decision in context and encourages further reflection.
· Bulleted and numbered points stress the main issues throughout ·
End of chapter self-test questions encourage students to test their understanding after reading and to reflect on what you have learnt. Selected answers will be available on the Companion Website
· Specimen examination questions allow students to prepare effectively for their exams

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 5th Edition. Paperback. Business Law. 5th Edition. Slight foxing to edge of pages. Slight wear to edge of cover. The fifth edition of this popular book has been restructured and streamlined in response to feedback from lecturers teaching with it. Its principal strengths remain that it is a clear, easy to read introduction to business law, suitable for a wide range of courses. Major changes in the new edition are the merging of material to form a new chapter on con-corporate organisations, removal of the chapter on securities and business resources, and generally a reduction in coverage of topics not frequently taught on courses. Coverage of EC law, tort and contract have been strengthened, with more cases referred to. The case list now includes full references and a glossary of law report abbreviations. Overall, this book has been brought up to date with several years' legislative change and many newly-decided cases. 486 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
