As the law affects all kinds of business activities, learning about the law as a non-lawyer is vital for everyone working in business. There are serious legal consequences for failing to comply with the law which in turn can impact upon business profitability and value. Understanding the law will enable you to appreciate how businesses are set up, to understand business risks, and to seize upon business opportunities, while also recognising when professional legal advice might be required. This unit covers essential topics in the Australian business world, including the Australian legal system, the law of contract, consumer protection, and the law of torts (including negligence as it affects business and as it applies to professionals). Privacy and data protection laws and the law of business organisations, including the law of agency, partnerships, and an introduction to company law, will also be covered.
