International Business Law

Module Synopsis
This module focuses on two transaction of central importance to international sale of
goods - contracts for the sale of goods and contracts for carriage. In relation to sale of
goods it considers contracts governed either by the English law of sale of goods (Sale
of Goods Act 1979, “SGA”), or by the UN Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods 1980 (“CISG”). In relation to carriage it considers the
different types of carriage contract, the problems of carriage of goods by sea, and
methods of payment.

Module Learning Outcomes


Upon successful completion of this module, students will be able to:
 Discuss critically the historical, political and legal background of the concept of
international sale of goods.
 Analyse the effectiveness of and understand the principles of the legislation either
by English law or International law.
 Critically evaluate the law in this area.

Learning and Teaching Strategy/Methods


This module will be undertaken by means of directed reading supported by weekly
seminars. These seminars will contain a mix of lectures and interactive discussion.
Students should be prepared to answer questions at any time during the seminars,
both on the indicative questions they were asked to prepare, but also on more
general points of discussion.

Recommended materials

Assessment method
The module will be formally assessed by means of a written assignment of 3,000
words accounting for 60% of the module and a research exercise of 1000 words
accounting for 40% of the module.

Organisation of the Module
Teaching will be arranged in ten-week blocks, with in-class seminars every week. However,
where necessary, the University’s protocol on social distancing may require that you will be
taught in small seminar groups requiring in-class seminars in different groups. In this case,
you should check your timetable to know your group – and check it quite often to know if
there are any changes. Seminars will be based on prior extensive reading on particular topic
areas. Seminar questions are set to serve as a useful guide for prior reading. On some
weeks, students will be asked to prepare a relatively informal presentation on one of the set
questions. At the end of the ten-week block, there would be an assessment period.

Students are scheduled to have all 10 face-to-face lectures/seminars.


Through this academic session, it is imperative that timetables are carefully checked for
any changes.

Seminar Worksheets

For each seminar sessions you will find a reading list (with one or more of the following;
journal articles, books, cases etc.), and a number of questions.

You are expected to have engaged with key readings on the list and to have attempted to
answer the questions before each in-class seminar.

You should prepare to participate in discussion about that week’s topic area, the relevant
principles and cases, and your provisional answers to the set questions. As you discuss this
material in each seminar, with your tutor and fellow students, your understanding of the
topic should be clarified, and your confidence in discussing, debating, and defending ideas
will develop.

Seminars indicate the Learning Outcomes and in certain instances, Checkpoints. The
checkpoints will enable you reflect on your learning as regards the topic.

Learning Objectives: This seminar requires you to familiarise yourself with the university
marking criteria, and the approach taken to marking student assessments. It also requires you to
take the place of the marker. You are also given an opportunity to prepare an example plan for an
essay question in a similar style to that of your assessment question. This knowledge and skills
practice will then allow you to test your plan against marking criteria by marking 3 example
answers.

Example Assignment Question:

‘Global transactions are concerned solely with trade. The law


relating to it is concerned solely with contractual obligations.’

Discuss the accuracy of this statement. Explain your answer with


reference to relevant examples.

Part I: Essay Planning


You are required to read the example assignment question above.

b. Your key points arguing that the statement is accurate, or that the
statement is inaccurate.
c. The key sources of law, cases, statutory provisions, and examples that you
will cite in support of your discussion.
d. Your tentative conclusion offering a snapshot of your answer to the
question posed.
Come to the seminar prepared to share your outline plans in small and large groups.
You may wish to revisit relevant seminars from the module.

Part II: Marking Exercise


You have been provided with three example answers to the essay question above (these
will be available on Blackboard under the Week 11 ‘Assessment Skills’ Folder from
4/12/2023).

You are required to read each assignment, and the relevant university marking criteria.
Once you have read the assignments, you are required to:

b. Provide a minimum of 3 reasons for your answer.
c. Come to the seminar prepared to share your marks and reasons for marks
awarded with both small and large groups.
