Commercial Law Applied

The principles, maxims and precepts of Commercial Law are eternal, unchanging and unchangeable. They are expressed in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in the New. The law of commerce -- unchanged for thousands of years -- forms the underlying foundation of all law on this planet; and for governments around the world. It is the law of nations, and of everything that human civilization is built upon. This is why Commercial Law is so powerful. When you operate at the level of Commercial Law, by these precepts, nothing that is of inferior statute can overturn or change it, or abrogate it, or meddle with it. It is the fundamental source of all authority, power and functional reality.

Commercial Law covers the fundamental principles of the subject and the relevant case and statute law. Presented in a clear and accessible format, the text adopts an engaging style and explains the law in a critical and evaluative approach. Use of topical and relevant practical examples help draw out key principles and introductions to parts seek to link the law into its wider context

Excerpt from New Commercial Law Common Law is a term applied to that part of the law of England which was common to the whole country. It was at first merely a body of customs. But came, in time, to have the force of law, and was called the common law to distinguish it from those laws which applied only to a portion of the country. The common law is sometimes called the unwritten law, because, being originally merely a body of customs, it was for a long time not written. As soon as judges began to render their decisions in writing, the common law, being embodied in these decisions, became written, and is now to be found in thousands of vol umes of reports containing the decisions of the courts of this country and England.
