Legal Aspects of Business, Seventh Edition, by Akhileshwar Pathak interfaces law with management and deals comprehensively with almost every field of law which has a bearing on business. The focus of this edition, like that of the earlier editions, is on making the teaching and learning of business laws interesting and engaging. It adopts a ‘learning by discovering’ approach. Each important theme opens with a section having unsolved cases that bring out disputes arising from business practices and other common incidents. The student, while thinking through the cases and settling the disputes, discovers the concepts and principles that underlie the theme. The succeeding section on the same theme confirms this understanding and develops it further through notes, examples, and review and analysis of court judgments.
