What is BLAW2014 about?

Business organisations are faced with exposure to liability in tort in a number of ways. A small accountancy may be exposed to liability for professional negligence or negligent misstatement. A public relations consultancy or company with an active Facebook presence may be exposed to liability for defamation. Organisations of all sizes may face risks such as those relating to occupiers’ liability, the general law of negligence and a range of other torts. Tort Liability for Business equips business students with a practical understanding tort liability generally, as well as an examination of several torts with relevance to business organisations. The unit considers how potential exposure to liability can inform strategies designed to reduce, mitigate and indemnifying against such risk exposure. This practical and focused approach to select legal doctrines seeks to enhance students’ entrepreneurial mindset and further equip their career-capable toolkit. In addition, the unit develops students’ capacity as effective communicators.
