In this course we deal with the need for law in our society and explain something of the origins of our legal system. People go to law in search of some remedy or are taken to court because another seeks a remedy against them. The course also deals with the difference between common law and equity but more importantly there is some discussion about the rights and remedies which each provides.
On successful completion of your course, you will receive a Stonebridge Associated Colleges Certificate of Completion.
Your course certificate will also state the number of CPD points/hours the course is eligible for.
There is no experience or previous qualifications required for enrolment on this course. It is available to all students, of all academic backgrounds.
All course fees, inclusive of all payment plans including our Premium Credit Limited option, must be settled before certification can be ordered.
*You will have access to the course for 24 months.
