Previous Episode: Law and Business

An important aspect of starting a business is comprehension of the legal system within which the business is to operate. This lecture is about the Australian Legal System. I will start by defining what business law is as well as the relationship between law and business. I will then discuss the features of the legal system including the sources of Australian Law, the Australian Constitution (division and separation of powers) and dispute resolution mechanisms including courts and tribunals and alternative dispute resolution.
