INTRODUCTION
Business Law is a term which is basically known to govern an establishment with
applicable norms and procedures. It consists of several rules and regulations that are applied to
bind the workers to operate into a legal structure. The current report has also demonstrated the
legal structure of business in UK with application of an English legal structure. It has thereby
intended to determine various applicable laws that are known to govern the nation. Also, it has

to govern the UK based organisations. It is however applied in the court of justice where the
businesses are strictly required to abide by the constitutional regulations of common law. There
together exist certain legal obligations of the workers with a special consent of the employers to
take care of adopting relevant measures. These are specially meant to take appropriate measures
towards occupational health, worker’s compensation, safety, equal opportunities along with their

The structure of English legal system mainly consists of 2 major laws namely civil and
criminal law where both of these are governed in England and Wales. The Supreme Court leads
the overall structure of English legal system by handling the cases of criminal laws. The cases
related to it can be appealed in apex court of justice with a foremost involvement of Magistrates
court that is the bottom level of this structure to handle the cases related to criminal law. Herein,
opening rounds of hearing takes place with verdicts that are being made on the basis of evidences
presented by the parties (Whitehead, 2011). Although, in case, any of the involved parties are
unsatisfied from the verdicts, they can further apply in Crown court that is a step ahead of the
Magistrates court. If here also, they do not get any satisfactory judgment, they can further go to
the apex court to appeal for a final verdict given by the Supreme Court. This decision will be
required to be followed by both the parties as an ultimate solution with no alternative of
appealing further.
