Course objectives
The course broadens, deepens and puts in concrete terms students' knowledge and skills, particularly in the area of business-law contractual relationships which they were generally introduced to in the Business Law I course. Attention is paid to the issues of fulfilling obligations and legal consequences of non-fulfillment or delay, and to the subsequent problem area of securing obligations, including a detailed analysis of the most relevant security instruments.
The main objectives of the course are the following:
- to make students familiar with the individual business law contractual types;
- to teach students to use these types in an inventive way to make business-law relationships work.
Students are introduced to specific aspects of individual types of contractual obligations to be able to consider their applicability in solving various situations occurring in company management.
The course should also help students develop the most important habits which they can use both in preventive and subsequent procedure in business situations where problems of legal nature may arise.
