Synopsis

A legal framework is essential for international trade where transactions take place over geographic, political and legal divides. International conventions, model laws and rules seek to harmonise the impact of laws on international trade and carriage of goods. This course provides students with an understanding of the legal issues related to an international trade transaction and how international law seeks to address such issues. In particular, students will examine the laws relating to international trade, electronic transactions, carriage of goods, maritime insurance, payment modes and the different methods of dispute resolution.
