This module equips students with an in-depth awareness and understanding of the practical legal responsibilities, risks and issues that arise in today’s business environment, so that they can be more effective in their future roles as professionals, executives or entrepreneurs. Students will begin by familiarising themselves with the Singapore Legal Framework and the fundamentals of Contract Law, with an emphasis on consumer protection legislation. Thereafter, students will analyse the implications of Tort of Negligence on businesses and how it can extend one’s obligations towards consumers and other third parties beyond that of contracts.
