Commercial Law and Practice provides a detailed guide to the four major elements of commercial law and practice. Part I provides a comprehensive introduction and overview of commercial agreements. Part II tackles the additional problems created when drafting international sales agreements, such as choice of jurisdiction and the financing of international sale of goods. Part III is a practical introduction to the protection and exploitation of intellectual property. Part IV outlines the general principles of competition law and examines how it may affect the drafting and operation of commercial agreements. This new edition has been fully updated to cover all recent developments. There is a new chapter on 'Data Protection and Freedom of Information' and the chapter, 'Other Contracts under which Goods Pass', has been greatly expanded.
