First Principles of Business Law

5.1. The process of applying legislation to cases

Cases may arise to which the provisions of existing legislation potentially apply. The processes of identifying the relevant legislation, finding the relevant sections, and applying them properly to the facts of the case need to be understood and carefully followed.

These processes are dealt with in this part of the module.

On the next page you will find some further information about the case study introduced in the previous sections. Then you will be asked to consider whether the provisions of the Injuries in Sports Act should be applied to resolve the questions arising from the case.
