behind facilitating laws and acts is to develop the legal environment in the country. There has
been various sources such as Legislations, European Union law, common law, European
Convention on Human rights (Disch, 2016). Therefore, with the help of such laws and legislature
the operational environment in UK will be beneficial and appropriate as it will help in enhancing
the legality in the operational activities. However, these laws and legal solutions are need to be
analysed by EBSM in context with having the favourable management in business operations.
Legislations: In terms with the legislature in UK the main cases are handled and
legislated by the Acts of parliament which are situated in London. It facilitates the legal solutions
to every obstacle incurred in all four countries. The parliament of UK is based on legislatures of
the House of lords and House of commons (Partington, 2016). There has been various laws
which are in favour of preventing the unlawful acts and the judgement over any case. These
legislature acts as to protect the citizens as well as corporation in UK to have the fair jurisdiction.
Common Law: these legislatives controls the cases of Wales and England which in turn

human rights in the UK and European countries. There will be discussion based on the various
rights and legislations which in turn facilitate the adequate jurisdiction on the basis of Property,
educations, elections, marriage, abuse rights, liberty and security etc. issues which are facilitated

Germany is the Europe Large economy as it has the big contribution in the European
Union. There has been influence of various laws, acts in respect with enhancing the legal power
of the country. Mainly, the cases are resolved by the Civil law on the basis of Statutory and
common laws. However, the motive government is to facilitate the adequate legal solutions to the
citizens with consideration of the human rights, public wealth and defending the nation with

powerful and successful than German legislation as it helps in controlling all the issues in

These common laws are based on the previous cases and the judgement which are being
presented by the parliaments and court. Therefore, it can be said that this law is ever changing
and fluctuating, there is no concrete decision of judges which will be changed as per the
requirement of time. Therefore, the laws is formed on the basis of precedents and the past
judgements.

Contract laws help them to determining the roles and responsibilities of the managers and
directors in terms of presenting the fair judgement.
TASK 4
P6 Suggesting the solutions over UK's Legal system
In accordance with the scenario EBSN has been entered in the various contracts and
agreements which are the part of business operations. Therefore, it will help in making the
adequate running of such firm. Hence, they have made agreements with various computer
companies to have the computer services, Office furniture as well as repair and maintenance of
site. Therefore, such expenditure were made by the firm but there has been increase of potential
disputes which are need to be resolved by ADR and outside the court. Therefore, this dispute
resolution technique is been performed by a registered individual which present the legal
solutions to the parties who are involved in the conflicts (Robertson and Kesselheim, eds., 2016).
The solutions may be presented outside the court premises but with the consideration all the laws
and acts of parliaments. Hence, it will be suggested to the managers in EBSN that they must
agreed over a mutual decision and resolve this case.
However, there has bee various advantage of the ADR system as many of the small issue
can be resolved before heading towards court premises (de Silva, 2017). There will be pressure
over mutually satisfying all the parties who has any issue. On the other side the disadvantage is
that there is no proper control of government as if any wrong decision will be made and
implicated.
CONCLUSION
On the basis of above study it can be said that, EBSN is planing to launch a chin business
in London and the managers or professionals in the firm has been awarded with the information
relevant with English laws. Thus, the report has helped in analysing the legal system and the
steps over which a bill be passed and a company get registered. Further, it has also helped in
