For this unit you will be given a hypothetical business situation, which is to be developed in line with statutory and voluntary compliance requirements to enable the business to operate in a profitable and safe manner.  The assessment requires ongoing research and submissions in line with material provided to you regarding the type of business involved.

Your submissions may be made by email and will be weighted according to the table below.

Please ensure that all assessment tasks are completed and submitted by the due date.

At this stage you are free to develop the operations of the company as you wish, however your future assignment submissions must be completed in line with your original company plan.  This plan will form the basis of assessment task 1 due on 2 August 2011.  Future submissions must address the components of the company plan submitted on this date.

Your assignment work must not exceed 750 words for each of assessment tasks 1, 2 and 3.  Assignment 4 must not exceed 1250 words.  Any submission exceeding these limits will be returned to the student responsible for resubmission.  If the revised submission still exceeds the stated limit it will not be assessed and a mark of zero will be recorded.Note that the essence of legal writing is the ability to shift out the peripheral material and submit only those facts that are pertinent to the question asked.  I will be sending you an outline of the answer I would have expected from the recent piracy research assignment as a guide to what information should have been included.  You should receive this later this week, or early next week at the latest.
