| Course contents : | Partim I:
The aim of the commercial law course is to derscribe in it's broad outline the legal status applicable to the organization and operation of economy. The Introduction, will point out the fundamnetal concepts of a system of market economy such as the one which governs business life in Belgium, and more largely in Europe : the economic agent ; the market ; the contract and the risk. The four following chapters of the course will point out the various modes according which these concepts are translated and used in business law. The economic agent received a first legal translation through the concept of tradesman, which already triggers the enforcement of a certain number of rules (competence of the commercial courts, particular means of evidence, insolvency law,...). This translation was later extended to all other enterprises (this concept constituting the core of accountancy law). The second chapter concerns the organisation and operation of the market : freedom of trade and industry principle, establishement law, competition law,trade practices and regulation of prices, as well as an introduction to the organization of financial markets and to the operation of financial institutions. In a third part, the idea of contract, which allows economic agents to collaborate, will be pointed out through current commercial business operations (commission, broking, agency, dealership, franchise,...) ; traditional bills of exchange; credit transactions. Finally, in the fourth part, the insolvency and « concordat » law will be examinated, as legal instruments of sanction of the economic agent's failings.
