P1. Various sources of law

Laws are made to control the society, but the formation of laws are related to the Customs and Usages that a society is following. It is actually a collected form of duties and liabilities in the form of statutes. Generally, there are two types of sources, Primary and Secondary sources. A primary source is comprise of statues, customs and usages, codified laws etc. Secondary sources are mainly comprise of Courts judgements and precedents. In the United Kingdom, there are three sources of laws, the European laws, legislature and the Courts. (Pepper v Hart (1993, HL)

The European laws includes treaties, directives, regulations and decision. Treaties are the main source of business laws. The main purpose of treaties was to bind two states into an obligation to perform duties mentioned in it. European Union acts an executive to the administration. These laws came into force in 1973. EU was formed under the European Communities Act 1972. The laws are implemented by the European Commission, it acts as an implementing entity to the administration. (Alix & Adams)

Similarly, statues that withhold the business laws are controlled by this commission. In order to start an organisation it is essential; to comply with these laws. But before that it is evident to have a knowledge on which sector the company is going to perform their business. There are two types of sector, public and private. Public sectors are controlled by states unlike private one, these are administered by individual body. Apart from the sectors it is also necessary to get the organisation incorporated under Companies Act 2006. There are three types of liabilities in a company, limited, unlimited and limited liability partnerships. In an unlimited liability, the profits and debts are earned by an individual but in limited the liabilities are limited.(Fisher v Bell (1961)

P2. Role of government in law making

A government is made up of three bodies the legislature, executive and the judiciary. The purpose of legislature is to form the laws and that are passed through the parliament as an Act. An Act is formed by passing a bill in the parliament. European Commission is the executive body in UK, laws that legislature passes are implemented by EC. In United Kingdom there is hierarchy of Monarch, that is nothing is above the Royal Assent. Laws are formed by the process of producing a Bill in the legislature.(Smith v Hughes (1960)

Bills are of three kinds, Private, Public and Hybrid Bills, A private bill is such which is binding on an individual that is it affects the interest of individuals where as in a public bill the interest of public are influenced. A hybrid bill is an amalgam of both, private and public, it is a public bill which affects the interest of an individual. A bill is proposed in the legislature in its First Reading, where the facts related to the bill is considered by the members then in the Second Reading a debate or discussion regarding the positive and negative effects of the bill takes place. After the completion of the latter stage it is scrutinise by a committee in its Report Stage. After such process it is presented again in House of Commons for any amendment or changes. A Bill becomes an Act of Parliament after getting the consent of the Queen in Royal Assent stage. This is how a law is passed by the governing bodies.

M1English legal system is highly effective in various terms because it helps overall society in various manner such as; applying necessary acts like equal wage act etc. designing rules and regulations for reducing business problems and so on. However, legal system of nation support overall society in acquiring equal development opportunities by introducing suitable acts.

Country Pine is a sole trader, all the profits earned by them are vested in the owner of the company. But the demand of their furniture has grown immensely so they want to expand their business. In order to do so they have to get incorporated as a Limited Company. For now, they don't have to share the profits but on going limited they are entitled for such profits what they have invested in the organisation. Also it will increase the paperwork, especially for the Director . It is the fiduciary duty of the Directors to file annual tax report. Also they have to obliged with the statutory duties of the state. The debts that company incurred is payable by the partnerships for which are liable, also they are only responsible for their act not of others.(Bodie, Kane and Marcus, 2014)

If Country Pine is going to expand then they have to face these changes. But it is better to become a limited company than being a sole trader as they can do business all over the world unlike a sole trader has its reach in their local market.(Crane and Matten, 2016)
