Commercial Law Report Question
To what extent does the current legislation adequately protect small businesses when they purchase goods and services from larger multi-national businesses? Your answer should focus on either the relevant terms implied by statute or on the legislation that deals with the exclusion of liability. Formulate reasoned proposals for how, in your view, the system could be improved.
