This edition of Savage and Bradgate: Business Law critically analyses the purpose and functioning of the rules and legislation involved in common law and statute law, placing emphasis on the rationale of the law and on the economic and political context within which it operates.

Savage and Bradgate: Business Law made a big impression upon its first appearance six years ago, with its comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of those principles of common law and statute law which regulate business activity in the United Kingdom. This new edition carries on the good work in its critical analysis of the purpose and functioning of the rules and legislation involved, placing emphasis on the rationale of the law and on the economic and political context within which it operates - all delivered in an uncluttered, straightforward style.
