Fundamentals of Business Law, 4/e
Margaret L. Barron
Richard J.A. Fletcher

Preface


This book has now reached its fourth edition. It was first published in 1992 and since then has undergone significant changes. It has been used widely throughout Australia by entry-level students of business law. It is designed to cater for students who are studying the subject as part of their business studies.

In order to address the ever-increasing changes to business law, Richard Fletcher has joined Margaret Barron as co-author. A barrister and solicitor, former small business operator and full-time TAFE lecturer, Richard is a valuable addition to the team. A decision has been made to align this book with National Accounting and Marketing project modules. The earler editions were generic and, although they covered all module material, were not set out in a module format. This edition is divided into six parts:

  • Part 1: Commercial law principles
  • Part 2: Contract law
  • Part 3: Consumer law
  • Part 4: Partnership and bankruptcy law
  • Part 5: Employment and workplace relations law
  • Part 6: Marketing law

The law is as stated at 30 June 2002.

Ancillaries
