⚖️ LAW4158 Commercial Transactions: Step by Step Problem Application Notes (Weeks 1 to 9)

Description

Description: 🧠 Knowing the rules for agency, sale of goods or the PPSA isn't the hard part of Commercial Transactions. The hard part is applying them to a messy set of facts in the right order. These notes show you how, one topic at a time. 📚 Each week takes a practice problem covered in lectures and works through it step by step in plain English: the rule, how it applies to the facts, and where the argument could go the other way. 🗂️ Every week follows the same layout: 👀 Facts at a glance and the core issue 🗺️ An answer roadmap, so you know which issues to run and in what order 🪜 Step by step application: rule, then application, then a short "write this" sentence you can adapt 🔀 Alternative path, showing how the answer changes if one fact changes ⚠️ Traps to avoid ⚡ Quick recall table ✍️ A short conclusion and a full conclusion 📖 Topics covered: 🤝 Week 1: Agency (actual express, implied and apparent authority) 🧾 Weeks 2 to 3: Partnership threshold (business or hobby?) 🏗️ Week 4: Partnership or joint venture 🛒 Weeks 4 to 5: Sale of goods, ACL guarantees, exclusion clauses 🌏 Week 5: CISG (conformity, fundamental breach, avoidance, remedies) 💵 Week 6: Bills of exchange (validity, negotiation, holder in due course, dishonour) 🏦 Week 7: Guarantees (discharge, Holme v Brunskill, variation clauses) 🛡️ Week 8: Insurance (classification, disclosure, remedies) 🚗 Week 9: PPSA (attachment, enforceability, perfection, taking free) 🙋 Good for you if: 😰 you understand the topics but freeze on problem questions 🔁 you want one structure you can use on every topic 👀 you learn better from step by step layouts and tables than from long paragraphs ✍️ All analysis is my own and written in plain English. No lecture slides or university materials are included, and these are not assessment answers.
