'' This course explores the differences between commercial and consumer contracts, the role played by finance, and the forms of business organisations which can enter into commercial transactions. You’ll examine the legal regulation of the sale of goods, the supply of services, and agency and distribution agreements. This is an important and growing area affecting both business organisations and consumers. In addition to gaining knowledge and understanding of these areas of legal regulation, you will develop a range of associated legal and study skills.
