Commercial enterprise matters require the legal status of the parties, the commercial character of the transaction and the enterprise’s registry and accounting records to be considered together.

Merchant and enterprise

Merchant status can affect standards of conduct, evidence, interest and other commercial-law rules.

Commercial contracts

Formation, authority, standard terms, performance and termination should be reviewed with sector-specific rules where relevant.

Commercial books

Properly kept books, invoices, correspondence and electronic records may have evidential significance.

Unfair competition

Misleading conduct, interference with commercial relations and misuse of business output are assessed under statutory conditions.

These explanations are general information. Durations and rules to be applied may vary depending on the concrete case.
