Answering Your Business Law Questions
We understand that these legal issues can be complicated, and we are here to answer any questions you may have. In fact, we have taken the liberty to answer questions such as:
What is liable in business law?
In business law, “liable” refers to being legally responsible for something. This can include financial obligations, breaches of contract, or harm caused by negligence. When a court finds a party liable, they often need to compensate the plaintiff or other affected party through specific duties, like financial compensation or policy changes.
What are the damages awarded for tortious liabilities?
Damages for tortious liabilities are monetary compensations awarded to a party that has suffered harm due to another’s wrongful act. Compensation in these cases is often meant to cover the costs associated with any damages, including lost business value or lost income.
What is corporate malfeasance?
Corporate malfeasance refers to illegal or unethical actions committed by individuals within a corporation, often involving misuse of power or breach of trust. Examples of this include fraud, embezzlement, or violating corporate governance standards, which can result in consequences for individuals or corporations.
