This subject focuses on the role of a project manager to procure goods and services and its timely provision for a project on behalf of a principal or client. It provides an overview of the laws relating to corporations, intellectual property, employment and contracts used in projects. It enables students to understand the law of contracts and statutory obligations of a purchaser and owner in a project to demonstrate how such obligations of the parties to a transaction might be varied by agreement. Students learn how ethical rules of professional bodies impact on commercial conduct in a project. As a result of knowledge gained through this subject, students learn how to interact confidently with persons who have legal training while dealing with contractual issues arising in projects.
