Description
In this subject, students develop an advanced understanding of international commercial transactions. They examine the major legal frameworks for the international regulation of commercial transactions, as well as major international trade organisations (eg WTO, EU). Students also work with dispute resolution issues in the context of international transactions. The subject moves from understanding the legal and regulatory frameworks of international transactions – the types of property and what legal rights are involved in these transactions – to examining the main aspects of a transaction: payment, contracts, insurance and dispute resolution. A theoretical understanding of these concepts is the starting point for advanced drafting practice in the real-time transaction workshops, where students solve real problems involving all aspects of an international commercial transaction. Students' advanced skills in drafting, statutory interpretation and legal analysis are reinforced in seminars and workshops. Students also devise a complex research question in the final workshop and use this as the basis for an independent research project.
