Product Description
Legal Principles of Contracts and Commercial Law (10th edition)
Authors: MA Fouche, CB Ncube, HJ Van As, A Haupt, Y Basson
Format: Physical Hardcopy
This book provides a detailed, yet simplified reference to the general principles of the Law of Contract and specific contracts, other commercial transactions and corporate law.
The purpose of this publication is to impart the current legal position in the field of commercial law, rather than to provide a critical and analytical approach to judgments and other authorities. An indispensable aid to students and widely prescribed at academic institutions, this book makes the law easily understandable and of practical use in everyday life, without detracting from the knowledge that is required to deal with contractual and commercial issues.
