Commercial law, also known as business law or corporate law, is the body of law that applies to the rights, relations, and conduct of persons and businesses engaged in commerce, merchandising, trade, and sales.[1] It is often considered to be a branch of civil law and deals with issues of both private law and public law.
Commercial law includes within its compass such titles as principal and agent; carriage by land and sea; merchant shipping; guarantee; marine, fire, life, and accident insurance; bills of exchange, negotiable instruments, contracts and partnership.[2] It can also be understood to regulate corporate contracts, hiring practices, and the manufacture and sales of consumer goods. Many countries have adopted civil codes that contain comprehensive statements of their commercial law.In the United States, commercial law is the province of both the United States Congress, under its power to regulate interstate commerce, and the states, under their police power. Efforts have been made to create a unified body of commercial law in the United States; the most successful of these attempts has resulted in the general adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code, which has been adopted in all 50 states (with some modification by state legislatures), the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories.

Instructor Notes.html
To assist you in completing consulting assignments for TLG, it is important to review some basic concepts relevant to the legal system and constitutional law.
First, review the concept of federalism, the court system, and common law v. civil law, and the nature of law and the legal process.
Some important points are:
(1) the primary purpose of the law is to establish a set of rules and guidelines for society to promote order and to create parameters for acceptable and prohibited behavior;
(2) laws are inevitably subject to interpretation and reinterpretation by courts;
(3) laws must be reasonably specific, and yet sufficiently general, with inherent flexibility, to withstand the rigors of interpretation and the "test of time";
(4) laws that strike a balance as described in (3) above, usually endure as relevant, applicable rules, even with societal changes and reinterpretations;example: the U.S. Constitution has withstood the test of time, partly because of an inherent balance of specificity, generality, and flexibility
(5) laws are promulgated and interpreted by human beings, and thus, are imperfect;
(6) some laws have a worthy purpose, but are difficult to adequately enforce i.e. speed limit laws;
(7) all laws are not necessarily ethical; some conduct can be legal, but considered unethical;
(8) U.S. law has a very dominant protective purpose – protecting all citizens, as well as providing special protections for certain groups of people, in certain circumstances, i.e., minors;
(9) fairness to all is a primary goal of the law, but what is fair to one group may be unfair to another group; what is fair in one situation may be unfair in another situation - every right granted to an individual or group, to some extent, impinges on the rights of another individual or group;
(10) legislatures enacting laws, and courts interpreting laws, must weigh and balance the right(s) granted v. the rights restricted by a specific law to determine if the law is justifiable and fair - this weighing and balancing involves determining if there a compelling public interest or purpose for the law that justifies granting certain rights while restricting other rights;example: highway speed limit laws protect everyone (drivers, passengers, and pedestrians), but also restrict the freedom of drivers to drive at a speed of their choice - on balance, the restriction is easily justified as there is an important purpose in protecting drivers, passengers, and pedestrians example: laws that prohibit alcohol consumption/purchase by minors grant rights to those 21 years and older, and restrict rights of those under 21 years - on balance, society, legislatures, and courts have determined this law is justified as Society has a strong public interest in protecting minors who may not have reached a level of maturity and judgment to handle the right to choose to consume/purchase alcohol
(11) the familiar symbol for law and the legal system is the ...
The system of rules which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and which it may enforce by the imposition of penalties. The position of a legal consultant is straightforward but flexible. Some of the shifts in environment and responsibilities associated with the transition may be obvious, but the changes are somewhat based on the circumstances.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

21. CASE PRECEDENT:
Case precedent is a principle or rule established in a
previous legal case that is either binding on or persuasive
without going to courts for a court or other tribunal when
deciding subsequent cases with similar issues or facts.
Precedent refers to a court decision that is considered as
authority for deciding subsequent cases involving identical
or similar facts, or similar legal issues. Precedent is
incorporated into the doctrine of stare devises and requires
courts to apply the law in the same manner to cases with
the same facts.
22. HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF THE
CASE PRECEDENTS IN INDIA
In the ancient society, there was less disputes and there were
very few occasions to go to courts. Local courts like shashan, kula,
shreni and puga were existing at that time. They decided the cases
falling within their jurisdictions. There was little possibility of
development of doctrine of precedent due to lack of adequate
sources to keep the record.
In the medieval times also there was less scope of
precedents. In the absence of a well- organized judicial
system, no doctrine of precedent developed in India as it
developed in England. In the British rule, the present theory of
precedent started developing.
23. MEANING OF DEFENDANT:
A defendant is a person accused (charged) of committing an
offense (a crime; an act defined as punishable under criminal law).
The other party to a criminal trial is usually a public prosecutor, but
in some jurisdictions, private prosecutions are allowed.
Criminal defendants: Criminal defendants are often taken into
custody by police and brought before a court under an arrest
warrant. Criminal defendants are usually obliged to post bail
before being released from custody.
Civil defendants: A defendant (or a respondent) is also the accused
party, although not of an offense, but of a civil wrong (a tort or a
breach of contract, for instance). The person who starts the civil
action through filing a complaint is referred to as the plaintiff (also
known as the appellant).
24. MEANING OF PETITIONER:
Petitioner is a person who pleads with governmental
institution for a legal remedy or a redress of grievances,
through use of a petition. The petitioner may seek a
legal remedy if the state or another private person has
acted unlawfully. In this case, the petitioner, often
called a plaintiff, will submit a plea to a court to
resolve the dispute.
Petitions and complaints both are considered
pleadings. A pleading is a formal statement outlining
one party's version of the matter.
25. Petitions in the Appeals Process:
Petitions for court orders may include requests
to dismiss a case, reduce a defendant's bail, or
provide a continuance. Another notable use of
the petition is the request for an appeal. An
appeal is a form of a court order in which one
party in a lawsuit asks the courts to review a
previous verdict. A petition to appeal can be
filed by either the respondent or the petitioner.
In some instances, both parties may file for an
appeal
26. RESPONDENTS:
The respondent is the party against whom a petition
is filed, especially one on appeal. The respondent can
be either the plaintiff or the defendant from the court
below, as either party can appeal the decision thereby
making themselves the petitioner and their adversary
the respondent.
A respondent is a party who responds to an appeal
made by an appellant and who defends the decision that
led to the appeal. Where the organization is the
respondent, the appellant is usually the primary client
or nominee on the original application or case.
Conversely, if the respondent is a case participant, the
appellant must be the organization.
27. PUBLIC PROSECUTORS:
Public Prosecutor is considered as the agent
of the state to represent the interest of
common people in the criminal justice
system. The prosecution of the accused is the
duty of the state but not individually the duty
of the aggrieved party.
"A person who is appointed under
Section 24 of CrPC and it also includes any
person who is acting under the directions of
Public Prosecutor."
28. FUNCTIONS OF PUBLIC
PROSECUTORS:

40. ECONOMIC OFFENCES
The term economic offences define those crimes
which are of an economic nature. These offences
are committed while in the course of some kind of
economic or business activity. Although in some
parts of the world, like the United States, the term
economic offences have been defined, a rigorous
definition of this term is still lacking in India. This
is the reason why it is difficult to pinpoint the
kinds of crimes that come under the term of
economic offences in India.
41. The National Crimes Report Bureau of India
still classifies only specified acts under the
term economic offences. Activities like
company frauds, counterfeiting of coins, and
some of the terrorist activities even come
under the term Economic offences in the
Indian context provided by the NCRB.
42. CHARACTERISTICS OF ECONOMIC CRIMES
1. An economic offence needs to have the required actus reus and
mens rea before thecommission or omission of the act.
2. Economic offences generally imply the existence of certain
elements like a breach oftrust deception or cheating.
3. Economic offences generally don't involve any kind of
physical harm caused by itscommission
4. This kind of crime is mostly committed by the privileged or
upper class section after society who have access to search
economy or business activity as well as required resources.
5. The intention behind committing an economic offence is to have
some kind of material advantage or to avoid or reduce some kind
of material loss.
43. TYPES OF ECONOMIC CRIMES
1. Traditional economic crime which includes corruption, smuggling, bogus imports
etc.
2. Emerging technological economic crimes that include credit card
frauds,counterfeiting,cybercrimes etc.
3. Crimes through which proceeds of transnational organized crime are
transmitted abroadlike money laundering.
Corruption: Corruption is a kind of economic offence that is tributed to be a
country's primaryreasons for low as well as slow economic development as well as
a major contributor for the existing poverty in India.
Smuggling: Smuggling consists of clandestine operations leading to
unrecorded trade, and is one of the major economic offences that is affecting India.
Although it is impossible to measurethe exact amount of goods smuggled in India,
it won't be wrong to say that smuggling occurs atsuch a level that it forms a major
part of the total economic offences that are committed.
44. Invoice Manipulation: This is another kind of economic offence that affects
not only India but all the developing countries severely. Invoice manipulation
basically means invoicing a good at aprice lower or higher than the price for which
it was actually sold or purchased.
Bogus Imports: This kind of economic offence indicates that there is
leakage of foreign exchange through the device of bogus imports. The modus
operandi is quite simple. The operator opens a current account in India in a bank
authorized to deal in foreign exchange. Heusually poses as a small-scale
industrialist and produces forged certificates/documents to establish his
credentials. His partners abroad prepare a set of export documents such as an
invoice, bill of lading, and bill of exchange and send them through their foreign
bank branches toIndian banks for collection. Upon receipt of these documents,
generally on collection basis, the
importer's agent deposits the amount in Indian rupees in his bank's current
account and the bankremits the foreign exchange.
45. Cyber Crimes: With the increase of technology and computer
usage it is not a surprise that suchtechnology is used for the
commission of economic offences. These crimes include theft of
computer services, unauthorized access to protected computers,
software piracy etc.
Counterfeiting: Currency counterfeiting is an organized white-
collar crime, which is undertakenat alarming rates globally. It not
only causes serious setbacks to the world's economy but also
jeopardizes genuine business transactions. These days, counterfeiting
of currency notes is donewith the help of modern equipment.
Counterfeiting, however, goes beyond the production of bogus
currency to the counterfeiting of all kinds of manufactured products
such as clothing, audio and video equipment, compact discs, watches,
liquor, perfumes, etc.
46. Credit Card Frauds: As financial institutions introduce
innovations against counterfeiting and fraud, increasingly
sophisticated ways of profiting from or beating those
systems are devised. Most of the credit card fraud is
committed by using counterfeited cards, which are pre-
embossedor re-encoded.
Money Laundering: Globalization has brought in the
transfer of money globally. The rapid growth of
international financial activities takes advantage of political
borders and exploits thedifferences between legal systems
in order to maximize profits. Money laundering is another
massive contributor to economic offences like corruption.
