Business Law, now in its ninth edition, is a manageable, well trusted
and reliable text specifi cally designed for non-law students studying
law for the fi rst time. Maintaining the direct and accessible approach
which has made this book so popular, Riches and Allen provide
user-friendly explanations of the law in a highly practical and
engaging style immediately equipping you with a good understanding
of key legal concepts.
Now thoroughly revised and updated, the new edition includes
key changes to the law on:

• The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008


• Companies Act 2006


• The Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 Amendment
  Regulations 2008

The coverage of tort law has also been expanded and

restructured in this edition to better match how the topic is covered on

business law courses.

The new text design and handy cross-references allow you to fi nd the information you need quickly and

easily while the use of extensive cases and diagrams make sometimes complex points in the law easier to

understand. Learning aids popular in previous editions have been retained and include:

• Learning objectives highlight key points you should understand as you progress through each chapter


• Self test questions allow you to assess for yourself whether your knowledge is up to scratch


• Case summaries are included throughout to give you the key facts, legal principle
  and context underlying important cases


• End of chapter specimen examination questions provide valuable examples of the typical types
  of question you may face in an exam enabling you to better prepare for assessments
