2.3 Summary of Course

LEGT 2721 Business Transactionsis designed to build on the knowledge and skills gained duringLEGT 1711 Legal Environment of Commerce. This course covers the law of contracts, which isnecessary for later study in both business law and tax subjects. It also introduces competition law andconsumer protection law which all people working in business must have a working knowledge of.

2.4 Course Aims and Relationship to Other Courses

The specific objectives of the course are to: -

Teach you a methodology for analysing and solving legal problems that you will be able to

use throughout your career; Provide a basis for understanding the nature and effect of commercial contracts;

Enable you to understand how selected areas of substantive law such as fair trading(consumer protection), competition and bankruptcy impact on commercial activities;

Provide a conceptual background to the legal issues involved in buying, running andexpanding a business.

The study of business law is essential for attaining a deep and well-rounded understanding of theother disciplines offered by the Australian School of Business.

Relationship of LEGT 2721 to other courses:-

Accounting- This course, together with the prerequisite (LEGT 1711), is recognised by CPAAustraliaand ICAA as helping to satisfy educational requirements for admission to their associations.


4/17


Banking and Finance-All financial transactions are based upon a legal framework that allows forproperty rights to be leveraged and transferred. This course provides students with the knowledgeand skills needed to understand the law underpinning various financial transactions.

Economics-This course provides an introduction to the key legal features of competition law whichare important to understanding how the economy is regulated.

Information Systems-This course provides an overview of contractual relationships, as well as aconsideration of the creation, contents and ending of commercial contracts and contract enforcement.Contracts are an important part of the commercialisation of information systems which includeintellectual property rights.

Marketing-Marketing and advertising must operate within the confines of the Trade Practices Act1974(Cth), to which this subject provides an introduction.

2.5 Student Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

1. Be more confident and competent in constructing the framework for written and oral legalarguments relevant to common commercial problems

2. Be able to analyse legal issues in a logical and structured way (i.e. to identify problems,research relevant sources, propose an outcome and identify possible challenges to theproposed outcome)

3. Recognise that answers to legal problems are not always black and white. You should havea greater understanding of the grey nature of the law; its ability to adapt to new situations.

4. Be aware of the policy choices that underpin and are reflected in business law.

5. Know how, as an individual, you can influence the development of the law as it impacts onyour client or business.

2.6 ASB Graduate Attributes

3.LEARNING AND TEACHING ACTIVITIES

3.1 Approach to Learning and Teaching in the Course

To do well in the law you must ultimately demonstrate that you can think like a lawyer.

It is strongly recommended that in addition to preparing for and attending lectures and tutorials, youread some of the cases referred to in lectures. This is the quickest way to gain an understanding of

the legal process and to understand how lawyers think.


5/17


3.2 Learning Activities and Teaching Strategies

Lectures

The weekly lecture runs for 2 hours every week from week 1 to 12. Lectures do not summarise orreplace the required reading in the textbook. YOU MUST NOT MERELY RELY ON YOUR LECTURE

NOTES. The readings from the textbooks place the lecture material in context and provide the fullunderstanding of the topic that is needed for successful completion of the course. The purpose of thelecture is to highlight key aspects of the subject, not to fully explain the weeks topic.

You are expected to attend all of your tutorials, study the prescribed texts and reading materialprovided and engage with sources outside of their prescribed texts, such as cases, legislation andinformation on the internet.

You should not assume that material not covered in the lectures is either unimportant or not subject toassessment. The final exam may cover any material dealt with in the course including the lectures,tutorial work and the reading material.

Tutorials

Tutorials run for 1 hour per week from week 2 to 13. If you are unable to attend your assigned tutorial,or you are not enrolled in a tutorial, you should email your tutor or the lecturer in charge immediately.Tutorial allocations will not be changed after the end of week 3.

Please attend your allocated tutorial and no other (except where your tutorial falls on a public holiday).In exceptional circumstances (illness, compassionate grounds) you may be permitted to attend amake-up tutorial. Students attending other tutorials without permission will not be awardedmarks or attendance for that tutorial. This makes it essential that you ensure that you are allocatedto a tutorial. The tutorial assessment will be based upon the official allocated tutorial class lists.

Topics and problems for each week are set out in the Tutorial Program. Each topic/problem must beprepared for discussion in class by each student using the prescribed readings and the lecture notesfor the relevant topic. As a general rule, tutorials will deal with issues lectured on in the previous week.

The purpose of the questions in the tutorial program is to help you to interpret and apply the weeksmaterial. The tutorial problems and discussion questions also allow you to practice for the final exam,which will consist of similar questions. Note: there will be no answers given out to the tutorialquestions. Do not ask for answers to the tutorial questions to be given out or posted to Blackboard.The purpose of the questions is to allow you to apply the course material and gauge your own level ofcompetence. Simply giving you the suggested answers will defeat this purpose

It is your responsibility to attend tutorials prepared so that you are able to make a valuablecontribution to class activities. The tutorials are not designed as a repeat lecture. The tutorials alsogive students the opportunity to work through any problems/issues that may be outstanding afterdoing the required reading and attending the lecture.

4.ASSESSMENT

4.1 Formal Requirements

In order to pass this course, you must: achieve a composite mark of at least 50; and attend 80% of your tutorials; and make a satisfactory attempt at all assessment tasks (see below).


6/17


4.2 Assessment Details

Whilst there is no requirement that a student attain 50% or more for each piece of assessment, thereis a requirement that the student achieve a result that indicates the student genuinely attempted theassessment. Where a student achieves a total mark of 50/100 or more in the course, but fails to

demonstrate a satisfactory level of performance in each form of assessment the student may beawarded a UF grade (unsatisfactory fail). An example of unsatisfactory performance is failing tocomplete an assessment task (e.g. failing to submit an assessment, or failing to complete the finalexam).

your ability to demonstrate your ability to think like a legal adviser and to present yourargument in the way a legal adviser would.

your understanding of the law.

your ability to identify and address more than one legal issue in a problem.

Managing the assessment workload

One of the biggest problems affecting the success of students in this subject is the lack of planninginvolved in researching and completing the assessment. The assessments cannot be successfullycompleted in one or two days before the due date because they require a considered and well-researched written analysis of a complex legal problem. Where a student fails to devote sufficienttime to researching and writing, the result is usually the submission of sub-standard assessment thatreceives a fail grade.

Marking criteria

For tutorial presentation:Did the students:

Answer the question (2 marks).

Convey their message clearly (2 marks).

Interpret the law accurately (3 marks).

Present in a memorable way (2 marks).

10/17


Assessment Footnotes, Quoting and Copying

The last 2 pages of the Australian Guide to Legal Citation provide a quick reference to citing legalsources. Guide. http://mulr.law.unimelb.edu.au/aglc.asp

Footnotes allow the reader to quickly and easily find the exact place in the source material to which

the footnote refers.In the course of the written answer you will need to cite relevant authorities. These may be a caseprecedent, a dissenting judgment, the views of an author, a piece of legislation or an article. Thesource of the proposition or idea that is used must be acknowledged. For example, you do not quotethe opening page of a website if your quotation comes from another page. You must quote the exact,complete, location of the page on the web where you found the material.

All sources must be acknowledged by a footnote at the foot of the page where:

the source is being directly quoted;

an argument or proposition in that source is being paraphrased;

the source is being used as authority to support a student's proposition or argument;

Footnotes that represent digressions from the main argument should be kept to a minimum.

Bibliography not required.

Wikipedia

Students should take extreme care when using Wikipedia. Wikipedia is prepared by unknown authorsand is often wrong. Whilst Wikipedia may, on occasion, be useful as a starting point whenapproaching a completely unfamiliar topic, it is unacceptable as a source for assessments in thiscourse. If a decision is made to consult Wikipedia, students must research further and check and citethe source used by Wikipedia in their assessment rather than Wikipedia itself. Students who useWikipedia as a source for written assessment tasks without researching further and checking thesources used will have marks deducted.

4.5 Late SubmissionAny assessment submitted late will not be accepted unless PRIOR written approval has been grantedby the Lecturer-in-charge.

Assessments that are submitted after the due date and time without prior written approval will have25% DEDUCTED PER DAY LATE. Please note: penalty marks will be imposed immediately after1:30pm on the due date. For example, if you deliver your assessment (worth 20 marks) in at 4pm onthe due date you will lose 5 marks from your final score. Any paper submitted more than 4 days latewill score 0. Any student who fails to submit their major assessment will fail the course.

Failure to read the submission instructions is not an acceptable excuse for lateness.

If circumstances beyond your control mean that you cannot complete the assessment by the duedate you should make an application for special consideration (see below). These applications are

reserved for illness or misadventure, not work commitments. WORK COMMITMENTS ARE NOT AVALID REASON FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATION APPLICATIONS.

If you foresee that you will have problems submitting the assessment on time you should contact theLecturer-in-charge immediately. Only the Lecturer-in-charge can grant an extension for theassessments.

Do not wait until the due date to ask for an extension. No extensions will be granted on the due dateitself.
