Beschreibung

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Law, grade: 2,3, Ashcroft International Business School Cambridge (Anglia Ruskin University), language: English, abstract: The legal system of England and Wales is based on common law, therefore the primary source of law is to follow a decision made in a precedent case. But as statute law becomes more important, this paper aims to give an insight how statutes are passed and, more importantly, how they are interpreted. Different rules related to statutory interpretation are explained and intrinsic as well as extrinsic aids are mentioned. Additionally, using the example of a specified case, contract law is introduced by analysing possibilities to proof misrepresentation along with its consequences and possible damages.
