Description

Commercial Finance aims to provide an introduction to some principal areas of commercial law of general relevance to legal practice and of particular relevance to those interested in banking. Topics: 1. Negotiable instruments, including a study of commercial bills against the background of a description of the operation of the commercial bills and money markets. 2. Secured transactions: students are introduced to the law on securities over personal property including priorities; reference is made to credit arrangements in use in the distribution and sale of goods and services. 3. Introduction to law of bankruptcy.
