This unit is designed to introduce students to the Australian legal system and to key areas of regulation impacting on the operation of business in Australia.  The unit will provide an overview of the institutions and machinery through which laws are made, applied and enforced, and will cover fundamental principles of contracts, torts (with a focus on negligence), relationships in business, the Australian Consumer Law (with a focus on supply of goods and services, misleading and unconscionable conduct) and an introduction to competition law and intellectual property.  Students will be required to identify legal issues arising in commercial scenarios and to develop legal arguments for their resolution.
