Welcome

In this unit we will begin our study of the Civil Law, in particular Contract and Consumer Law. 

Although for some, not as appealing as Criminal Law, the law of contract is a very interesting study with case law that span many centuries. 

Much of contract law is common law, although parliaments have been inclined in recent times to codify or over-rule common law, as well as passing a large body of consumer protection legislation. 

To whet your appetite for this unit, watch the video The Rational Consumer in the Useful  Links before our first class.
