Global economies grow and advance only when people demand products or services. Governments enact laws to ensure consumers are not exploited and that businesses treat their employees fairly. XpertLearning is a privately held consultancy founded in 2003 that focuses on providing adult learning and talent and performance solutions. This law course is designed for business owners employees and consumers. Our first lesson delves into contract law which covers the essential elements of a contract and the rules regarding offer and acceptance.The course then discusses laws relating to the sale of goods and explains the difference between ‘a sale’ and an ‘agreement to sell’. We define the ‘ascertainment of price’ and lay out the structure of hire-purchase agreements. Some businesses are formed through partnerships and the laws regarding them stipulate the rights and liabilities of partners and how to properly dissolve. The course then moves on to banking legislation and highlights the responsibilities of banks to serve their customers fairly. This is important given that over 75% of the world’s population has at least one bank account.Even as business law seeks to protect end-users it also regulates employee rights and privileges workplace safety overtime laws and minimum wage. We explain how industrial law seeks to mitigate the negative impact of corporations on the environment and wildlife. Business laws differ from country to country and are sometimes unique to certain industries so it is in the best interest of organisations to become familiar with the legislation that applies where they operate. Commercial and industrial laws ensure that companies operate fairly and serve both their customers and the community so sign up to explore the legal framework that governs businesses in the UK.
