CommLaw3 Property Law
Understand commercial law in relation to property
Australian property law relates not just to tangible property, such as land, but intangibles such as intellectual property. Clients value advice on the type of property that can be dealt with in commercial transactions, including real property, personal property and intellectual property. Aspects of state based laws are also important to understand.
CommLaw3 looks at issues such as the impact of competition and consumer law, the law regulating financing transactions, and laws relating to electronic commerce to help you develop a sound understanding and provide appropriate advice to your clients.
This subject is offered via distance learning using an online learning platform supported by pre–recorded webinars and email support from the Convenor, a subject matter expert.
