Description

The eighth edition of Concise Australian Commercial Law offers a concise overview of the key concepts and principles of commercial law in Australia. The aim is to introduce students to the main areas of commercial law – the law of contract, consumer protection, data protection and privacy law, the law of torts, agency law, the law of business organisations and business ethics – in a way that strikes a balance between the need for clarity, accessibility and simplicity and the need for materials to be challenging, relevant and current. 

Each chapter of this edition has been updated to incorporate the many changes to the law that have occurred since the seventh edition. There have been several important appellate court decisions in many of the topics and significant legislative amendments to the Australian Consumer Law, the Corporations Act and the Privacy Act. The chapter on business ethics includes the legislative developments in relation to modern slavery and the emergence of ESG as a significant factor in corporate decision-making. Finally, an expanded chapter on data protection and privacy law has been included, acknowledging the increasing importance of this aspect of the law.
