Many of the issues in business law and commercial law overlap, making it common for
attorneys who practice one to also be knowledgeable in the other. The selling and supply
of products, as well as the funding of specific transactions, are the main topics of
commercial law. Business law is concerned with the additional facets of business, such as
incorporation, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder rights, and real estate matters like
renting out an office or warehouse space. A lawyer with knowledge in both of those areas
will very probably be required by a company that sells products (Encyclopædia
Britannica, 2022).
State and central laws both govern business law. Frameworks and funds, workplace safety
and service rules, and conservation protections are generally governed by the federal
government. States may, however, add to these federal regulations and enact additional
legislation in specific areas, such as licensing requirements for particular professions and
guidelines for starting and operating legal businesses (Encyclopædia Britannica, 2022).
Commercial law is primarily governed by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The
UCC is a set of model laws for selling goods, leasing goods, tradeable goods, and
protected contacts. All states have adopted some form of her UCC, but each state is free
to change the law as it sees fit. In many situations, at least some of the UCC rules have
changed to suit your needs, so it's important to have an attorney familiar with the UCC
enacted in your state (Encyclopædia Britannica, 2022).
Business law includes all laws governing the formation and operation of companies. It
includes all laws governing the establishment, purchase, management, closing, or sale of
any type of business. A lot of professional code deals with different kinds of business
organizations. There are strategies that determine how each type is formed and executed.
This includes, among other things, guidelines for corporations, partnerships, and limited
liability companies. All state and federal laws and administrative regulations are part of
business law (Encyclopædia Britannica, 2022).

The Quadrilateral House consists of 659 members of the Diet, elected by a simple
majority every five years. The House of Lords is made up of lifetime peers, awarded civil
servant peers, and a number of hereditary peers. Although there is no written constitution,
the monarch is the supreme authority of the crown. Many of the relationships between
sovereigns and parliaments are customary rather than statutory. The third section consists
of constitutional conventions that have no legal authority but are binding. The UK
structure does not formally separate powers but can be identified as a legal entity that
constitutes a national branch. The Prime Minister, other government ministers, civil
servants, police, and military members form the executive branch. The legislative branch
consists of the monarch, the House of Commons, and the House of Lords, while the
judiciary consists of the monarch, legally qualified judges, and magistrates. The monarch
is a member of all three of his branches, but the government exercises most of its
statutory powers. In general, in today's world, he has five major legal systems. They are
the civil law, common law, customary law, religious law, and mixed law (Deraram,
2020).

England and Wales share a unified court system based on common law principles that
originated in medieval England. Scotland and Northern Ireland each have their own legal
systems. While the Northern Ireland court system is very similar to that of England and
Wales, the Scottish court system is a hybrid model combining elements of common law
and civil law (Jorgensen, 2020).
In England and Wales most, civil cases are heard in county courts. Many specialized
courts have been established to resolve specific types of civil disputes. B. Relating to Tax
and Employment and Immigration and Asylum Cases. All criminal cases are sent to
magistrates' courts, while more serious crimes are sent to criminal courts (Jorgensen,
2020).
The High Court functions as both a court of the first instance for high-value civil claims
and as an appellate court for civil and criminal cases. It consists of three divisions: The
Queen's Bench, the Chancery Division, and the Family Division (Jorgensen, 2020).
The Court of Appeal functions solely as an appellate chamber. The Civil Division hears
appeals from the High Court and the County Court, and the Criminal Division hears
appeals from the Crown Court (Jorgensen, 2020).

In the UK judicial structure, magistrates' courts hear all criminal cases and some types of
civil cases. However, according to the Sri Lankan structure, it only hears minor criminal
cases. The High Court hears serious criminal cases of all kinds. The British structure has
a main court called the Crown Court, which is not found in the Sri Lankan structure. The
Crown Court hears civil and criminal cases.
However, in the Sri Lankan system, Supreme Court cases are heard by three judges.
Finally, in the British court system, the High Court is divided into lower courts. Like
Queen's Bench Division, Chancery Division, Family Division. However, the Supreme
Court in Sri Lanka's court system is divided in form by process. like trial by judge, trial
by jury, or trial by lawyers (Uniassignment.com, 2019)

The sources of the law are the founding documents and enforcing statutes that provide
any state the authority to rule its territory. The phrase "source of law" can be used to
describe either sovereignty or the location of authority where laws are enacted. Law,
common law, The European Convention on Human Rights, European Union law, and
case law are the four primary sources. British law. The entirety of UK law is not
contained in a single body of papers (Neelakandan. lk, 2021).
This process is indirectly employed by local, state, or national legislators to draft and pass
legislation. In addition, it is also used when referring to administrative regulations and
ordinances established by administrative agencies to fulfill legal obligations such as
ordinances. In addition to the legislative body, the executive branch is also involved in
legislation. A law cannot become a law without executive approval unless the executive
veto power is overridden by a substantial majority of both houses of the legislature.
Executive work requires more than just support or resistance. As heads of state and
political figures, the executive branch actively participates in shaping government policy
and often in drafting laws. The federal structure of the United States makes legislation a
difficult subject. All states have the power to make laws that apply only to their borders.
A country enacts laws that apply to the whole country as long as it is within its
constitutional jurisdiction (law.cornell.edu, 2022).
A collection of spoken laws drawn from past cases is known as common law. Courts
create common law by hearing a variety of cases and establishing a standard for their
resolutions. This process is used to create laws, as opposed to civil law, which results
from legislation authorized by legislative bodies or regulations created by the
government's executive branch (learn.financestrategists.com, 2022).

The legal system of the European Union regulates international law. EU law bodies
generally have some distinctive elements that are not found in international law. For
example: B. The ability of a citizen to assert rights protected by EU law in the courts of
EU Member States. International law usually requires the transposition of laws into
domestic law. In addition, the domestic laws of EU member states sometimes fall behind
her EU laws. A central principle of EU law is the rule of law. Its activities are based on
agreements ratified by Member States. The idea of representative democracy also applies
to the EU, as both the European Council and the European Parliament represent citizens
at the level of the EU and the European Union Council. Britain has left the European
Union. As of December 31, 2020, the UK Parliament and Parliament have jurisdiction
over her EU legislation affecting the UK. This law is available online at
legislative.gov.uk. As with other national legislation, it is updated at legation.gov.uk.

Most forms of justice support both customary and statutory law. These laws are very
important in many respects. Common law refers to statutes made on the basis of recent
court decisions, while statutes refer to statutes enacted by various government agencies.
Similar to how judicial courts work, case law is used to reach further conclusions. For
similar cases, the judgment of the High Court is a precedent. Since there is no statute in
current common law, other judges will interpret the statute as it is, setting new boundaries
and distinctions for various judicial proceedings.
A defined structure on which decisions are based facilitates a suitably expedited court
proceeding. But a particular bad judgment of the High Court is not a standard of common
law that seeks to overturn previous judgments. The Obiter dictum, which refers to the fact
that a truly binding decision is a rational decision or the reasons for a decision, deals with
grounds of precedent. Laws are created so that citizens can codify laws in their favour and
find solutions to many problems. They cover the entire area of law exclusively regulated
by law. There are various situations where common law does not apply. Therefore, the
law applies to such special cases. Fisher v. Bell shows how judges use golden, ominous,
and literal rules to interpret the law. In this case, the shopkeeper was selling knives at the
window and was arrested for selling assault weapons. The court ruled that the law was
applied literally because it was the invitation to treatment, not the offer of treatment, that
was involved. (Nester, 2014).

Contract law is the branch of the law that deals with making and upholding contracts.
A deal that is essentially economic in nature constitutes a legally binding contract. It
involves the purchase, lease, or rental of goods or services. Do 100 transactions most
likely
They work in the company every single day. A contract that a judge might uphold is
described as a contract. Contract law is a collection of legislation that governs the
development of contracts, their execution, and the establishment of fair restitution in the
event of an infraction. Contract law is applied in business dealings. Both businesses and
consumers use contracts to buy and sell goods, license goods or services, enter into
employment agreements, enter into insurance agreements, and for a variety of other
purposes. When contracts are in place, transactions proceed smoothly and without
misunderstandings. They give parties the confidence they need to conduct business.
Contracts help to ensure that all parties to a transaction are aware of its terms.
A tort is an unlawful act committed by one party against another party. Negligence is a
type of tort that occurs as a result of a specific type of loss or damage that occurs between
parties who are not in contract with each other, and there is nothing one party can sue the
other. Negligence An individual or entity must meet several requirements to successfully
file a claim. These three basic elements – negligence due diligence, breach of the standard
of care and duty, and damages and causality – are what the tort law system bases its
decisions on.

Specifically for firm owners who must comprehend UK employment law while
continuing to manage and expand their day-to-day operations, employment law oct
initially appears complex and varied. The many employment regulations that exist serve
to protect businesses by defining their obligations to their employees and their rights as
business owners. They claim that both parties benefit equally from the working
arrangement. Because they outline what should be in a contract, such as vacation pay,
disciplinary processes, and formal notice periods, employment laws in the UK, for
example, safeguard firms. By giving clarity and a point of reference to make sure that the
employer and employee are on the same page, contracts protect employers. However, UK
employment laws also exist to protect workers against unethical hiring procedures,
workplace harassment, and pay inequities. Employers must pay workers in the UK the
National Minimum Wage based on their age, and all workers over the age of 23 are
additionally entitled to the National Living Wage.
Several rules govern different facets of how you should do business and behave as an
employer in the UK. Some of them will be instantly identifiable to you since you
encounter them frequently, while others oct only appears occasionally. Some of these
laws will expressly address workplace equality issues, which are essential to preventing
the aforementioned discrimination claims. Others are more focused on making sure that
your business runs effectively and safely. Here, we give a brief overview of some of the
most important employment laws that affect UK business owners. Think of it as a
succinct review of the most crucial employment legislation. Acts of Employment laws:
Employment Relations Act 1999 Employment Rights Act 1996 Maternity and Parental
Leave etc. Regulations 1999 National Minimum Wage Act 1998 Part-Time Workers
Regulations 2000.
The employer-employee relationship, which has grown to be legally protected over time,

numerous more statutes have been passed. This level of protection is only given to
employees who are strictly given that designation. As a result, in this context, the
distinction
between Independent Contractors and Workmen has been upheld. The Industrial Disputes
Act No. 43 of 1950, the Wages Board, the Employees Trust Fund Act, the Employees
Provident Fund Act, the Shop and Office Employees Act No. 19 of 1954 Maternity
Benefits Ordinance, Workmen's Compensation Ordinance, Factories Ordinance, Trade
Union Ordinance No. 14 of 1935, and other regulations were passed to make the
employer-employee relationship easier, particularly about the rights of the employees.
The Copyright, Designs, and Patents Act of 1988 governs copyright in the UK at the
moment. It gives writers of plays, songs, and other creative works the power to choose
how their works are used. The rights cover broadcasting, public performances, copying,
editing, issuing, renting out, and lending copies to the general public. The creator often
has the right to assert his or her authorship and to object to any misrepresentations of their
work.
Copyright is applicable when a person or organization develops a work if it is thought to
be original, demonstrates evidence of labour, skill, or judgment, and is produced by that
person or organization. Interpretation has more to do with independent production than it

Difficulties are typically advantageous since they oct be resolved through negotiation.
However, there will inevitably be disputes when the parties are unable to reach an
understanding and need unbiased counsel to settle their differences as well as appropriate
legal remedies. In some situations, going to court is the best course of action:
Both partners originated from the same country, and they share the same places,
languages, and cultural traditions. It is important to understand that the claim wouldn't
cost much. The likelihood of winning an appeal outweighs the advantages of a speedy
resolution. There are no large mutual claims, and the business partnership is small to
medium-sized. Relationships in the business world nowadays can take many various
shapes.

The cost of charge business is impacted by taxes. A rise in corporation tax, for instance,
has the same impact as rising prices. As a result, adding it to the price of a certain
consumer commodity will increase the cost. Management changes frequently result in
changes to the law. As an effect, it can have an effect and call for modification. For
instance, firms oct find it more difficult to turn a profit when the federal minimum wage
is increased because they must find more money to pay their workers. Legal support can
be used to cover the costs of legal counsel, family mediation, and court or tribunal

Legislations
The Legislature enacts and upholds laws through its legislative process. The legislative
process entails considering the language used in the bill to convey the resolution's values,
judgments, and goals, as well as evaluating, revising, and voting on proposed laws. The
most crucial government tool for establishing society's structure and safeguarding citizens
is legislation. It specifies the duties and rights of people to whom the Constitution is
applicable (tandfonline.com, 2016).
Regulation
A government or other governing body enacts regulations to control how something is
done or how people behave. Regulations are essential to the smooth operation of
economies and society. While being marketable, they protect citizens' rights and security.
ensures that essential goods and services are available. Regulators, on the other hand, are
rarely pricy.
Standard
Manufacturers, sellers, buyers, customers, trade groups, users, or regulators are examples
of people with specific competence in their sector. A standard is a method of committing
to doing anything, including the creation of a product, the management of a process, the
supply of materials, or the rendering of services. Standards serve as a symbol of
knowledge. They function well as tools to encourage creativity and increase output. They
can raise people's quality of life and help businesses prosper.

If possible, manufacturing firms in Sri Lanka use Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
techniques such as arbitration, conciliation, collective bargaining, and industrial courts to
resolve labor problems rather than going to court. Therefore, the purpose of this study is
to determine how much ADR is used in Sri Lanka's industrial sector. Three
manufacturing companies in Sri Lanka were included in a multiple case study that
addressed the aforementioned research challenge. Data collection methods that took into
account the opinions of both employers and employees included semi-structured
interviews. The case study survey results showed that despite the lengthy litigation
process's significant downsides, ADR procedures were used less frequently than they
were in comparison to litigation (papers.ssrn.com, 2015).
This means that organizations do not profit from employing ADR, and the litigation
process still has its inherent disadvantages. Additional research found that the current
ADR system's inefficiency was the main cause of its lower usage. In this study,
improvements are advised for the development of ADR to align it strongly with
successful settlements, which will boost its use. As utilization grows, the organization
will simultaneously gain from lower litigation downsides and the advantages of ADR.
Authorized individuals will receive information from this study about current ADR
practices and areas that still need to be improved. The report highlights the importance of
employing ADR instead of litigation techniques when appropriate for corporate
management and staff (papers.ssrn.com, 2015).

A partnership is a type of business in which two or more people share ownership as well
as responsibility for leading the business and the income or losses generated by the
business. That income is paid to partners, who then claim it on their tax returns – the
business is not taxed separately, as corporations are, on its profits or losses. A connection
resembles a legal partnership and frequently entails close cooperation between persons
who share certain rights and duties. Partnership business registered under Act 1840Act no
7 of 2007 restricts the maximum level of partners is 20 members. These are the four acts
that control the partnership such as. Act no 7 of 1840 is about an agreement such as the
capital is more than LKR1000 the partnership wants to be established in written format
and all the partners want to sign in it. It is straightforward to form a partnership business.
It requires fewer legal formalities, and the cost is also low. The registration of the firm is
also not required to create a partnership business. Only the partners should have an
agreement between them. A partnership firm usually has a lot of members. Since the
members agree to share profits and losses equally, the risk is also shared by all the
members. A partnership has a more expansive scope than a sole proprietorship business.
In a partnership business, the partners agree to share all the losses and profits between
them. The partners are also entitled to take responsibility for all the debts, even if they are
not their debts. The liability of all the partners is not limited.

A charitable organization is a kind of institution or a business that falls under the category
of a non-profit organization. A charitable organization can run privately as well as
publicly. This type of organization is often called a foundation or charity. It can be based
on educational, religious, or even based on public interest activities. The law and
regulations of the charity are dependent on the country or the region where it has been
established and operated. Requirements for registration and filing can vary from one state
to another and thus consulting and taking legal advice is also important in this case. This
organization is not meant to benefit any single person or individuals. An example of a
charity organization is the Sri Lanka Cancer Society
