Synopsis The object of this book "Business Laws" is to set out the basic principles of Mercantile Law simply and clearly. An attempt has been made to present the concepts as briefly and concisely as possible without sacrificing essential features. Leading cases have been provided for illustration. Section numbers of the relevant statutes have been given in order to facilitate reference. This book on Business Laws covers the whole teeming ground in a manner differing from the usual text-book, by giving in one volume, a thorough, lucid and easily understandable explanation of the various principles of that branch of law which has to deal with mercantile transactions and mercantile community. The book is intended primarily as a text-book for graduate and post-graduate students preparing for the various University and Professional Examinations in Business Laws, but it cannot fail to be useful to businessmen who have from time to time to deal with several branches of the subject. The aim is to explain the provisions of the different enactments, and in doing so, the book deals with the law, subject by subject, grouping together the sections of the respective acts so as to make them simple and logical to the student, convenient to the businessman and interesting to the casual reader who may care to use it as a reference. Even lawyers and practitioners will find the book of practical use inasmuch as it contains in a handy volume the whole range of Mercantile Law, supported by citation of both English and Indian cases and references to the relevant sections of the various Acts. Where controversial points occur, the author has based the exposition on the general consensus of standard authoritative opinion of leading writers, and the considered judgments of the courts. To facilitate the work of recapitulation at the time of examination, a summary is given at the end of each chapter.
