This course examines the legal framework for the conduct of business in the European Community as well as the wider implications of the role played in international trade by the EC as a trading power. The course analyses in detail the mechanisms for the creation and maintenance of the single market within the EC. To this end it considers the critical areas of free movement of goods, persons, services, economic enterprises (establishment) and capital as well as the contingent issues of taxation and harmonisation.
By the end of the course, students should be able to:1. Demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the legal rules applying in a number of core substantive business areas, and account for their evolution. Students should be able to evaluate critically their form and content, and apply these legal rules in novel situations;2. Demonstrate knowledge of the relationship between the European and New Zealand law.3. Demonstrate an ability to situate their knowledge of EU law within the wider political, economic and social context, with such general contextual knowledge gained, at least in part, through independent, non-directed reading;4. Present their knowledge accurately, and to construct well-reasoned, well-supported arguments, using the correct forms of referencing and demonstrate a working understanding of the specific terminology operating in this field.5. Demonstrate ability to discuss independently a current question of European business law, thus demonstrating ability to link detailed knowledge of legal rules with ability to situate this within the wider economic context and ability to critically assess the role of law in the process of European integration and its interrelation with other factors therein.6. Demonstrate ability to develop accurately a suitable solution for a problem question, thus demonstrating the ability to apply their detailed knowledge of the legal rules to a specific problem and to present their solution adequately.
