LECTURES AND TUTORIALS

There will be two one hour lectures per week over the course of this semester in this subject and for the first week of lectures students will be given an understanding of the 最新糖心Vlogn legal; system such as the role of the courts and court structure and approaches to interpreting legislation. In weeks 2 to 6 students will be given the basic information necessary to determine whether a contract has been formed, what terms are included as part of that contract and what remedies exist if there is a breach of contract. 

Two teaching weeks will be allocated to discussing the law of negligence and how it affects business relationships. The remainder of the course will focus on consumer protection legislation issues such as those surrounding the manufacture and sale of unsafe goods; misleading and deceptive or unconscionable conduct in trade and commerce and some basic issues concerning the law of agency.

It is a requirement of this course that students undertake the prescribed preparation for tutorials and that every student speaks at every tutorial.

Tutorials
Classes will be held weekly commencing the second teaching week of the semester. Membership of tutorial classes is to be finalised by the end of the second week of semester. Students wishing to swap between tutorial classes after this time are required to present their case to the lecturer-in-charge, but should be aware that such a request will be unlikely to be approved in view of attendance and preparation at tutorials being assessed.
 

Tutorials are an important component of your learning in this course. The communication skills developed in tutorials by regularly and actively participating in discussions are considered to be most important by the School and are highly regarded by employers and professional bodies.
