Introduction
Welcome to your study of Corporate and Business law. In this chapter we set
the scene and framework of the English Legal System.
We start by defining what law is and why it is important to society. Our study
continues by considering the different types of law that we have in the UK and
how they have developed over time.
The chapter concludes with an analysis of the criminal and civil court
systems.
