This guide is a complete, course-aligned summary of everything that is examinable. It explains how the law shapes business decisions and operations, with clear coverage of contract law, tort law, and consumer law. You’ll also understand how businesses interact with regulators and why these rules matter in practice. Use this resource to review each topic efficiently, connect legal principles to real-world scenarios, and build confidence for the final exam.

This course is intended to provide students with an introduction to the basic legal principles and frameworks that are necessary when one is operating within a business context. The course will introduce students to the fundamental building blocks of business law, contracts and torts (e.g., negligence). This will be followed by a discussion of the legal aspects of the different forms of business organization including: sole proprietorships; partnerships; and corporations. Other important areas of business law to be covered include: employment law; consumer law; competition law; environmental law; bailment; real estate law (including mortgages); as well as intellectual property. The course is not designed to turn students into lawyers, but to provide them with the basic knowledge and understanding of legal principles so that they are more fully aware of the legal implications of their actions in business and can more easily navigate within the Canadian legal system. Students will be asked to think critically about legal principles and their application in contemporary society.
