Commercial Law
...body of law which governs business and commerce. It is often considered to be a branch of civil law and deals both with issues of private law and public law. Commercial law regulates corporate contracts, hiring practices, and the manufacture and sales of consumer goods.”
The Law is a system of rules usually enforced through a set of institutions. It affects politics, economics and society in numerous ways. Contract law regulates everything from buying a bus ticket to trading swaptions on a derivatives market. Property law defines rights and obligations related to transfer and title of personal and real property, for instance, in home loans (bonds) or renting a home.
As members of a society we need a set of laws which defines our rights and duties, a society cannot function effectively and efficiently without a set of rules governing human behaviour.
