Overview
In this Contract Law and Tort Law module from The Open University UK you will examine how contracts are formed, their terms and how they end. Using commercial and consumer contexts you will consider the policy and practice underpinning the development and growth of contract law and its international aspects.
The law of torts is then explored.
A range of torts including negligence, nuisance and trespass are examined and set in the context of policy and public interest.
You will then consider the growing range of commercial torts. Case studies are used throughout and a comparative approach is taken which considers developments in other jurisdictions.
You’ll also have access to a module website, which includes:
- a week-by-week study planner
- module materials
- assessment guides
- online tutorials and forums
- electronic versions of the text books.
