| Module content | A working knowledge of the law is an incredibly empowering tool. The law operates in the daily lives of all of us, as a natural product of our interaction with one another. Sometimes in our dealings with other people we encounter problems that may be brought about by any one of a variety of factors: incompetence, dishonesty and misunderstanding are the most common causes. The consequences of these problems can, at times, be rather severe. Business transactions, for example, carry high risks. The consequences of a mistake in the business world can be costly. Knowledge of the law becomes a very useful tool when it helps us to recognise the potential dangers so that we can avoid them, and equip us with a means of dealing with mistakes once they have already happened. A sound understanding of the law is both a privilege as well as an advantage in coping with the various problems that life in the business world may throw our way. |
