This book adopts a refreshing approach in the treatment of the selected business law topics. It eschews the ” bare bones” notational approach offered by some texts as well as the detailed technical explanation of legal principles adopted by others and presents an in-depth exposition of the various topics in prose that is clear, concise and readable. Case authorities are drawn from the United Kingdom and other common law jurisdictions where relevant, to supplement the extensive reference to local cases in the context of the Contracts Act and other legislation. The authors have drawn on their extensive experience in professional legal practice, teaching business law in diverse jurisdictions and a track record of academic research and publication in Malaysia and elsewhere.
