LGST101 - Business Law (Offered in 2016-17, Term 1)

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 contractual principles as the making and performance of contracts form the rudiment of all businesses. Apart from the law of contract, students will learn about various types of legal liability (criminal, tortuous and statutory) which may arise in the conduct of business, basic concepts relating to the ownership, use and infringement of intellectual property, as well as common forms of business relationships. To ensure that students are equipped to face the challenges and exploit the opportunities presented by the current e-revolution in commerce, the course also requires students to understand and analyse new legal issues arising from the conduct of businesses through electronic media.
