MLC101 - Law for Commerce Assignment - Case Study, Deakin University, Australia

Unit Learning Outcome (ULO) -

1: Apply key principles of law for commerce to recognise and evaluate legal issues.

2: Interpret and analyse a range of legal issues and the bearing they have in commerce.

3: Use appropriate digital technologies to search, retrieve and apply relevant information to law for commerce.

4: Identify critical legal issues in the international context that have a bearing on business ethics, standards and practice in Australia.

Overview of Assessment -

Scenarios 1 & 2 - Your task is to provide analysis and evaluation of the legal issues posed in the case study, drawing on the legal principles covered in Topics 3-4. Scenarios one and two are based on your course materials from Topics 3 to 4 (this does not necessarily mean that there is one question from each topic), however further research (beyond the textbook) will most definitely enhance the quality of your submission. If you wish to score a very high grade for this assessment, it is strongly advised that you incorporate research beyond the course materials.

Scenario 3 - Scenario 3 requires you to analyse the effect of international legal instruments on commercial practises in Australia on the case study, derived from your own independent research. This scenario is completely research-based and requires you to.

Citations & Referencing - You must correctly reference for this assessment, however, please do not reference PowerPoints, the study guide or the textbook. Cite cases and legislation (including international legal instruments and principles) in full - you need not cite the source of the case or legislation (for example if you research the facts from another textbook or article). Your answer to all the scenarios must be researched and referenced using the Deakin Harvard style of referencing.

Scenario 1 Case Study - Hiro and the Federal Bank of Australia

Advise Hiro on the enforceability of the above contracts. Please use case law to support your answer.

Suggested word count: 500-600 words.

Scenario 2 Case Study - Akshita and Underground Solutions Pty Ltd

Akshita asks you for advice on whether she can enforce the above clause against her former employees. She also asks how she might structure similar clauses in the future to prevent them being challenged. Please use case law to support your answer.

Suggested word count: 500-600 words.

Scenario 3 Case Study - Carmen

Advise Carmen on the remedies available to her under the relevant international convention.

Note: All countries are treaty members of the relevant convention. Please cite specific principles and related international conventions and articles in your advice.

Note: External research is required for this scenario. The course materials WILL NOT be sufficient in isolation to complete an answer for this scenario due to the International Law component, which is not taught formally. This particular question is designed to demonstrate ULO4 which requires students to recognise that international legal standards have a bearing on commercial practises in Australia. Suggested word count: 200-300 words.

Note: Research is required for scenarios. You may rely on the course materials to answer this question, but it is expected that you also research beyond the course materials. Please restrict your answers to the application of contract law (and, specifically, the content of Topics 3 & 4).
