This is an introductory course designed to help business students acquaint themselves with the framework of Singapore’s legal system and to understand the legal environment within which businesses operate. A substantial part of the course is dedicated to the study of contract law principles, as the making and performance of contracts form the rudiment of all businesses. You will also be introduced to the law of torts and will, in particular, learn the essentials of the very pervasive tort of negligence. The course will also touch briefly on business crimes and business torts, agency and business vehicles, intellectual property and international legal aspects of business.
