The course will cover the origins of Australian Law, including the establishment of the Australian Legal System as well as the separation of powers.

We will then  focus on two arms: the Legislative and the Judicial as these are the main impacts for those in a business law context. In doing so we will explain each and provide examples as to their operations and impacts.

Within the Statute and Common law module, we will create quick contrast between Statute and Common law and what occurs if there is a disparity between the two.

The program will conclude with some examples of legislation and how they impact a role. This is to show the broad nature of legislation and its practical implications, for the purpose of this the role of the contract manager has been used, however many of the laws discussed can be applied to a multitude of roles.
