are also considered to be the factor that is able to bind the future of the lower courts. Statutory
law covers all the areas that are issues that can arise in the many operations which can affect the
legislative practices (Wilke and MacPherson, 2019). The court is able to study and also evaluate
all the statutory and common laws that are ready to make the judgements on the any particular
case. This is essential for the evolution of the allow the both statutory and common laws which
are able to make the judgements on the any give case. Thence for the use of the statutory and
common laws to make judgements of the give case. The use of the statutory and common laws in

The differences between the statutory law is nothing but the legislation that is able to
make the government bodies or the parliaments to be able to converse common law for the one

country. Common law is the procedural law that is comprised of the set of rules that are
presented in the court preceding’s which is needed to be separated from the statue to be able to
establish the must require operations. This is also the common law which is considered to be
statutory law that is able to amend the statutory law through the separation of the statue which is
needed to be established for the preparation of law making. Common law is the one that is able
to render in a given case about the statutory law which prescribes for the best governing rules of

Legislation is the directive proposed by the legislative body while the regulation are
requirements that are present within the legislation. This is also the legislation that is able to
provide a broader and more general while the regulation is something very specific to the
legislation that has been enforced. This legislation is also considered to be the proposed of the
head of state while the regulation is considered to be the enforcements that is able to help be
enforced meanwhile the head of the state does not have any interferences in them (Wheater and
Proudlock, 2018). Legislation is also considered to be the most internally generated within the
country government regulation but has been considered to be the internally or externally

body to be very effective in the management of their performances.
This is also the legal system changes according to the requirements for the laws and order, it

Evaluation of legal system and law
The laws and the systems that changes the requirements of the law and order would be the
reason that affect the overtaking of the smooth functions of the organization. There are other
factors that influence the legal system of the most efficient legal issues that are related to the

individual society is a factor of justice that allows the society (Wilke and MacPherson, 2019). To
act as the law that influences and also enables efficiency of the solution that impacts the disputes

St Catherine's academy (2017) which was related to the discrimination practices that were held in
the unfair dismissal of the company that was found guilty towards the terms of the contract and
judgements of the country that was against issues that a business. These regulations can be said
as the issues that is going to be developed in the operation of the effective practices. This is

against the company.
Part 2
Different types of organization with advantages and disadvantages and legal formation
There exist a varied range of organizations namely sole proprietorship, partnership,
limited liability partnership, and limited company.
Sole Trader
It is that form business which is considered as the easiest way of establishing and running
the business. The sole owner is entirely eligible to have all the profits and the authority to take

the decisions. There are various advantages that can be enjoyed by the owner of such a business.
The start- up costs are minimum making it easy to establish and operate. There is con of
unlimited liability and limited capacity of raising funds (Dommett, Kefford and Power, 2021).
There is legal formality of registering the business with the HMRC. Also self-assessment tax
return is to be filed.
This business type organization is wholly funded by the sole trader who is the only
controller and manager of such entity. The funds may be arranged for the establishment and
running the activities through varied sources like personal savings, loans from banks or other
financial institutions, retaining profits for expansion purposes and angel investors.
Partnership
In partnership form of business two or more individuals come together the profits and
losses of doing a business. The partners of self – employed in unincorporated partnerships. There
is responsibility with such partners in respect of the losses that the business undertakes. One of
the other disadvantage can be misconduct by one is suffered by all. The legal formalities include
registering with the HMRC and Companies House. In addition to this rules & regulations of
partnership acts are applicable (Hunt, Sarkar and Warhurst, 2022). Health & safety laws,
employment & labour law are also required to be compiled with.
In this capital is contributed by the partners. It may be decided to involve financial
institutions like bank to borrow funds. Profits are also reinvested in the business for expansion
and growth purposes. Business is managed and control by the partners.
Limited Company
The organization that owned and managed privately by shareholders is classified as
limited company. It is required to pay corporation tax. The advantages are that owners’ liability
is limited to the extent of capital invested by them and hence their personal assets are not at stake
while running the business. Company has a separate legal entity. Establishment of company is a
complex process. The costs that are involved in getting the business start is huge and legalities
inclusive of paper work is also an issue. Accounts are to be publically published and hence there
is difficulty in maintain privacy. Certificate of incorporation is to be get by registering to the
Companies House (Borraz and et.al., 2022). Registering with HMRC is must and all the laws are
to be compiled. Further the legal aspect includes drafting of Memorandum and AOA (articles of
association).

There are two variations to this type of limited business. It can either be limited by shares
or by guarantee. In a company limited by shares and incurring losses or facing difficulty is
paying debt amount shareholders liability stays limited to the amount they have not paid against
the shares. And in a company that limited by guarantee there exists no shareholders or share
capital. Members are the guarantors of the company.
The capital structure of limited companies is divided into two components: shareholders’
capital also known as owners’ capital and borrowed capital. Equity share capital, preference
share capital and retained earnings are parts of owners’ funds (Verbeke and Ciravegna, 2018).
Bonds, debentures, term loans from financial institutes & banks are classified as borrowed funds.
Directors are appointed from the shareholders who are responsible for running the business on
the behalf of such shareholders.

liability of partners is limited. Such an organization requires to get registered with the
Companies House and HMRC. Accounts and prepared and filed annually. Two or more
members are required to incorporate such business. Profits and responsibilities are shared among
the partners. In the agreement of limited liability partnership (LLP) details of sharing are stated
out (Godke Veiga and McCahery, 2019). Every year each member of the organization is required
to submit self- assessment tax return. Income tax is to be paid on each partner’s share of profits.
HMRC is the authority to whom national insurance payments are made.
Case 1
Orange computer Ltd store gives their salesman salary and commissions on any sale such
salesman makes. The heavy competition in the market led the company to suffer financially. It
resulted the company in asking all its employees to take only the payments of commission and
leave the amount of their salaries. This happened as the company was not in a position to pay for
its obligations against salaries. For the three consecutive years that are 2015, 2016 and 2017 the
salaries were not paid. The company revived and started doing well along with the growth in the
economy. One of the salesperson whose name is Gordon feels like the company has enough
profits to pay for his salary along with the commission for the year 2017. And he wishes to know
whether he is eligible to claim the salary for the past years that are 2015 & 2016.

This case of Gordon and his employer comes under two acts. These two acts that are
applicable are contract law & employment law. It is clear from the case study that there is a
contract of employment. Both the employee and employer are compelled to adhere to the terms
and conditions mentioned in the employment contract.
The parliament of United Kingdom has the employment act, 2008. Orange Computers
Ltd. store entered in the contract of employment with Gordon, salesman. According to the
contract Gordon has rights to receive an annual salary of £ 10,000 and commission on the sales
he makes at a rate of 9 percent. The company was facing tough times and proposed their
salesperson to accept only the payment for commission and forgo the salary for three years
starting from 2015 ending at 2017. Gordon accepted the proposal and agreed to receive only the
payments for his commission. There is no written evidence of this event between store owner
and Gordon. As per the contract act any changes in the agreement relating to the terms and
conditions stated between parties requires creation of new contract. In this particular case the
only contract between the parties is the one saying Gordon is to receive both salary and
commission amount. So as per the provisions of the contact law Gordon have right to get his
salary for all the three years.
Fitz v Holland and Barrett Retail Ltd is the case law similar to the given case. In this Fitz
was denied to be paid by the employer and the defendant of the case during the winding up of the
firm. as per the employment contract Fitz was to be paid in accordance to the number of hours
the services they have provided to the company. At the event of winding up of the company
employer argued that it is normal phenomenon of not getting paid in the retail sector for the
managers. Plaintiff worked for more than 200 hours for the year. It was found out that in the
employment contract there was no reference that the hours spent by the Fitz over the fixed hours
will remain unpaid (Case law: Ruling clarifies when employers must pay employees for extra
work performed out of hour, 2022). The court passes judgement in the favour of the plaintiff and
directed defendant who is the shop owner to pay for the hours Fitz worked over his actual
working hours as salary and any extra hours worked for to be settled by giving compensation.
This decision was entirely based on the provisions of employment law.
The store Orange Computers Ltd. did not compile to the terms of the contract. The
company is liable to pay the salary even for the years if incurs losses. By non- paying the salary

they breached the contract of employment. It has to pay the salary for all the years to Gordon as
per the law. It is legal right of Gordon to claim salary for all the three years.
Case – 2
Issue:
Janet who decided to purchase and install an internet package at her home which also
required the installation of phone lines. Therefore, an engineer was arranged for by Virgin Media
to come and install the phone lines at her home. As per the appointment time, the engineer came
but he was unable to find the point for the telephone lines and switchboard so he decided to
contact his supervisor for this issue. However, he never came back for the completion of task.
Then, Janet informed the company i.e., Virgin Media that she hasn’t got the phone line fixed and
installed at her place. And at last, after various calls and e-mails, another engineer was sent at her
place and the phone line was fixed after 3 whole weeks. Now, on the receipt of invoice, Janet
noticed that she was charged for the phone line and internet package from the installation day.
Now, she is of the view that she should have been charged for such services after the 3 weeks
during which time phone line was not installed at her place.
Rules:
Understanding and analysing the case in consideration it is certain that the provisions of
contract law will be applicable her governed by the Contract Law 1990 (Temte, 2019). This is
because here a substantial part of the contract has not been performed and thus, they are not
liable to claim the whole payment of internet package and phone line. As per this law, substantial
performance is the performing the obligations of the contract substantially which will allow the
parties involved to claim the payment and also retention of benefits of such a contract in the case
even when they technically did not comply with the exact terms and conditions of the agreement
(Wu, 2020). In such a case, to defend the case the defendant shall be able to prove that the
obligations of the contract were substantially performed or this standard of substantial
performance was met. In case of a material breach by either of the party to the contract then it is
evident that the substantial performance was not done. Thus, it can be said that the provisions of
the contract law have been breached and the affected party need to claim support of the proper
judicial system for her own benefit. Thus, it can be said that the service provider i.e., Virgin
Media cannot charge any consideration for the period of 3 weeks in which no services were
rendered to Janet which included rent for this period of the telephone lines. Also, referring to the

Bolton v Mahadeva [1972], which also presented the case of non – performance of substantial
obligation.
Analysis:
On the analysis of provision of the Contract Law 1990, it is certain that on non –
performance of substantial obligation i.e., in this case, setting up and installation of telephone
lines and starting the services of internet package, will lead to breach of the provisions and thus,
the breaching party will be liable to perform such obligation (Substantial Performance:
Everything You Need to Know, 2022). Also, as per the Bolton v Mahadeva [1972], in which a
central heating system was installed by Mr. Walter Charles Bolton at Mr T Mahadeva’s house
which turned out to be damaged and did not work properly as it should. Bolton also refused to
correct this mistake as it was costing £174 to him. Therefore, Mahadeva refused to pay the
consideration and sued him. As per the judgement of this case, the judge of the court decided that
the consideration agreed upon before will be needed to be paid after deduction of cost of
correcting the heating system. It was held that Bolton will not be entitled to any consideration as
there was no substantial performance of any obligation. i.e., the major purpose of the whole
contract became ineffective from such an act of non – compliance.
Conclusion:
As per the provisions of the above discussed Contract Law 1990 and facts of the case of
Bolton v Mahadeva [1972] it can be very clearly concluded that the customer i.e., Janet has no
liability to pay any consideration to the service provider i.e., Virgin Media for the period during
which no substantial performance was done i.e., for the 3 weeks during which no one came to
install the telephone line. Thus, she has to pay consideration for the period starting from the day
the phone line was fixed and the internet package was activated at her home.
Case – 3
Issue:
A security company named Blackhorse Limited provides security guards and has 50
employees with minimal overheads except for the wage costs. The customer base of the
company contained major 4 customers out of which largest one failed in the business resulting in
incurring of bad debts of £100,000 to the company. This has resulted into reduction of cash flows
of £100,000 for the company and forced the company to stretch the due dates of payments to the
creditors. Such an adverse situation forced one of the creditors to issue a petition of winding up

on the company and now the court is to consider the decision of winding up at the hearing to be
held in three weeks. So, Blackhorse Limited needs to know the various options it has for
avoiding the mandatory winding up.
Rules:
The winding up petition and the decision to wind up the company taken by the court is
governed as per section 124 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Also, the Contract Law 1990 comes in
the picture here as the creditors of the company and company are bound to the provision of this
act (Wong, 2020). The creditors and the company have to comply their part of the contract as
agreed by them and on any non – compliance, the affected party can either settle among
themselves or can approach the judicial system of courts in case the interested parties cannot
come at a common conclusion and needs the assistance of appropriate authority for making a
decision. As per this act, the winding up application or petition may be presented to the court by
company or directors or even creditors separately or even by all of the parties together
(Mupangavanhu, 2019). This application shall have to be made to the court.
Section 122 of such an act can also be referred to in here as it explains the situations
wherein the company may be wound up and the main issue that is enlisted here is the inability of
the company to pay its debts. When the court gives out an order on the company to wind up it is
called compulsory liquidation. The date of the petition for winding is one of the most important
dates in this case. Then the dates of hearing are also noted and such petition is also gazetted in
the London Gazette which brings such a petition to the attention of the bankers of company and
other interested parties (Surahyo, 2018). Also, referring to the Cornhill Insurance plc v
Improvement Services Ltd [1986] which also presented the case of unpaid debts by the company
to the solicitors who resultantly, filed a petition of winding up to the court.
Analysis:
Analysing the section 122 and 124 of the Insolvency Act 1986, it is clearly understood
that any of the interested parties i.e., directors, beneficiaries, creditors and even the company can
file a petition of winding up with the relevant court and the inability of the company to pay its
debts is the major issues in here (Ben-Shahar and Porat, 2019). Also, as per the Cornhill
Insurance plc v Improvement Services Ltd [1986], in which the company did not pay a pending
part of payment to one of its creditors. So the creditors went to Chancery Court to present a
petition for winding of Cornhill Insurance. Thereafter, hearing was done in which both the

parties put their arguments and the judgement was made by the court in which debt of Cornhill
Insurance was paid immediately based on the decision of the court.
Conclusion:
Referring to the provisions of the Insolvency Act 1986 and Contract Law 1990 it can be
concluded that Blackhorse Limited breached the terms and conditions of the contract which they
agreed to comply with. This is because of the fact that it did not pay the debts for 3 months for
which it was obliged to one of its creditors. No matter for whatever reasons such a delay in
payment of the credits to the creditors may have happened i.e., in this case due to incurring of
bad debts from failing of the largest customer of the company. Therefore, the provision of these
act can be applied to the case of the Blackhorse Limited. Also, as per the judgement of Cornhill
Insurance plc v Improvement Services Ltd [1986] it can be concluded that Blackhorse need to
pay its outstanding debts to the creditors.
