Legal Issues in Business

Legal Issues in Business is a refereed academic journal published by the School of Business Law and Taxation, Curtin Business School at Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Western Australia.

The journal provides essential information for business law and taxation academics and business professionals in Western Australia with a particular emphasis on examining how law is applied in business.

The journal aims to enhance knowledge transfer amongst academics, professionals, managers, educators, researchers and students in the area of business law and taxation.

Businesses only survive by keeping abreast of information that is pertinent to their area of commercial enterprise. Law and taxation are topics that regulate how business operates. This journal is designed to assist the transfer of knowledge from those that research and analyse the law to those who have to apply the law to their commercial undertakings.

The law that is applied in Western Australia is often based on legislation that emanates from the State parliament and this tends to have either detailed or fundamental differences or similarities with the legislation found in other jurisdictions. An objective of this journal is to discuss these similarities and differences.

Other law and taxation topics are based on legislation from the Commonwealth of Australia and discussion of these topics may interest a wider audience throughout Australia. Other topics based on common law or 'judge made law' may have some general appeal throughout common law jurisdictions.

The initial editions of the journal have been designed to focus in on certain businesses or industries. The current issue is available only in hard copy by subscription. Back issues are available by order or are free online in Acrobat format (pdf).
