CAMS - INTRODUCTION TO LAW AND ETHICS

Introduction to Law and Ethics brings together the legal foundations and ethical principles that support sound personal, professional and commercial decision-making. The book begins with the nature, purpose, classification and sources of law, then moves through administrative law, constitutional control of public power, ethics, dispute resolution, courts, legal personality, tort, contract, sale of goods, partnership and property law. The book is organised as a progressive learning journey. Each chapter begins with clear learning objectives, a roadmap and selected case-law authorities. Explanatory sections develop the governing concepts, while tables, short scenarios and integrated applications help the reader move from definition to legal reasoning. Throughout the book, emphasis is placed on accurate legal vocabulary, disciplined issue identification, ethical judgement, practical application and concise communication. Case law is used as a teaching anchor: the reader should understand the legal principle for which an authority is cited and then apply that principle to the facts of a new problem. The legal environment evolves. Statutes, regulations, court decisions and administrative procedures should therefore be checked against current official sources whenever the reader is dealing with a live matter.
