Also, there was no mention of vicarious liability. Corporations, LLCs, Partnerships (general and limited) and sole proprietorships are significant topics which deserve discussion and explanation. There were a few other subjects dealt with similarly, but those did not necessarily detract from the overall value of the text itself.Īs for the “lacking” comment, it is surprising that a text on Business Law (even if it is an introduction) does not include a chapter on business entities.
