organisation. In this way business law is to be focus on role of government and making law to
different sector. This report is to be focus on business organisation to ensure the better
productivity and quality of the services that helps the company to achieve a better productivity
and meet its requirement criteria (Schönsleben and et.al 2016). In this context, present report is
based on ASDA organisation. This organisation is basically located in United Kingdom and
work in retail sector. Furthermore, the report assists to focus on business law and their legal
structure. It helps in solving any business problem and maintaining the growth rate in market.
SECTION 1
P.1 STRUCTURE OF ENGLISH LEGAL SYSTEM
The local customs of Anglo-Saxons created history in English law. They were in form till
1920's. As the conflicts grew up, the number of courts also increased with the name of church
courts, feudal courts. The royal courts are developed from king council, later on the professional
judges were appointed with the legal powers (De Roover and et.al 2017). As the legal system
came into existence, they prohibited many of the local customs which lead to disputes among the
people as well as the kings were asked to be away from the legal procedures for developing the
courts and the legal system by this, offences was reduced in larger number.
Later the law was classified as criminal law where, all the offences at large are held, was
prosecuted by state and punished accordingly, whereas, the another is civil law, under this law
the conflicts between the same member of the family, workplace issues with any big cause are to
deal with (Heizer and et.al 2016). Another one is non statutory civil law where breach of trusts,
whether it is contract or negligence is ruled. There is one superior court which binds the other
court. Court of any town cannot hold the decisions. Offences, when sent to any of the superior
courts there are chances of getting the decision change. Clerks who assist the magistrates are
highly qualified assist in 430 magistrates court located in every town. Offences between the age
of 10 – 17 are taken by youth court. The only disadvantage of the court is, it takes a very long
time to reach conclusion.
Sources of law :

 To overcome the problem of conflicts among people by giving importance to their
culture, traditional values, and superstitious beliefs, the source of law took place
(Mérand, and Rayroux, 2016). Custom played a prominent role in source of law by this
people bound by rule and disputes among them gradually decreased
 By the name of religion people were asked to accept religious codes otherwise
threatening them by natural forces or fear of god. The actions of people were
unstoppable (Zinck, and Griffith, 2016). Lacking of knowledge in right or wrong
provided the source of law
 Earlier, public bound to the rules of the king and their orders used to decide the
behaviour. To control the behaviour the legislation took place during 13th century, also
proved as the organ of law (Zinck, and Griffith, 2016). Legislation converted public
behaviour into rules and prohibited from creating any kind of offences
 Another source of law is delegated legislations. As the demand of law increased due to
lack of knowledge and time. The powers delegated to executives to make law.
 Decisions are important source of law, which controlled the behaviour of people and
ensuring smooth running of day to day life.
 Law is encouraged only because of equality, and fair decisions (Zurich, and et.al 2017).
Till the offence is not proved, both the parties are equal in the eyes of law, which is
another major source of law.
 The existing law are discussed by jurist for positive behaviour.
P.2 Explain role of government in law making procedures and statutory and common law is
applied
In this report is to be focus on government activity to make role in business in UK. In this
way government is play a most important role in organisation. The local and national
government is along with trade union and legislation. In this way, government is help to increase
performance in market (Pohl, and et.al , 2014). They will analyse the problem that is been faced
by the common people regarding the trade or any other issue and will found out the legal
solution to it. In this way, government is to be use some step to make a new law for any sector.
This process is as follows: -
 Bill: - In this process, the civil advocate drafted a bill and that bill is to be prepared by the
assessment of the government. In this way it is to be included in different bill like public,

private and private making bills (Binz, , and et.al., 2014). The public bills involve the
society, community and the responsibility regarding the bill. It is to be made by the
cabinet. In this way, private bill is impact to individual. It is the authorities and
responsibility for the private members. This type of bill is to be passed in the law act.
 First readout: - In this readout is law making procedure and preparation under the House
Of Commons and in that process only the bill is reading (Hitt and et.al 2016). This is the
most important part to make law.
 Second readout: - In second readout is all the cabinet member is focus on debate of bills
and their feasibility is also tested (Binz, , and et.al., 2014). In this context, the decision is
to be made on final debate. In this way, voting is done by all the members and after the
compilation of voting, decision is to be taken on bills.
 Stage of committee: - In this process, the bill is again check the enter-ire detail process
is to be conducted by its members (Lu, and et.al., 2016). It is done with the help of
increase the level of satisfaction.
 Royal Ascent: It is the final process; the approval or rejection work is in the hands of the
parliament and once the royal ascent is made by the parliament in that favour, the bill will
be converted into an act or a law and it will be applicable to the whole nation (Manzini,
and et.al., 2017).
There is a complete process to be set and help to make role of government to making law. All
such activity is to be used at the time of making low (Drent and et.al , 2015). In this way,
statutory and common law and their difference is use at the time of making law. In statutory law
is to be passed by various government agency and common law is to developed on the basis of
preceding rulings by judges.
SECTION 2
P.3 A. Employees legal obligation
In employee legal obligation is inculcated many factors like employee’s regular wages,
provide employees pay slip and ensuring employees safe working environment. All such factor is
to be focus on employees' law and it is to be included in employee contract act (Drent, and et.al
2015). In this way it is focus on some different terms are as follows: -

 Occupational health and safety: - In work place occupational health and safety is to be
focus on provide safety working environment in organisation (Yahia, and et.al., 2017). It
is also involving the assessment and migration of risk that may impact on health, safety
in work place. It is help to increase the level of performance in retail sector.
 Work compensation: - The employer's like Asda will look after the effective
management of the employees or the workers claim for the compensation. In this way, it
is a duties and responsibilities for company. It is focus on the each and every safety
measure of the employees in organisation (Manzini, and et.al., 2017). Work
compensation is help to increase the level of performance and increase involvement of
employees in organisation (Yahia, and et.al., 2017). If the employees are been injured
while performing the job, it is organisation duty to provide him effective treatment and
other facility as well as compensation to maintained work effectiveness.
 Harassment: - In this context harassment is the most crucial matter, that has been
considered by the employee's in ASDA organisation to maintained the decorum in work
place. In this factor harassment is to be included physical, mental etc. it is an unlawful
conduct or criminal offence (Carreno and et.al 2015). In this way, it will help to the
organisation to maintained working environment and take suitable action for this kind of
activity. Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Prevention, Prohibition Act, 2013.
All such factor is direct impact on organisation growth and negative impact in outside
environment.
 Equal opportunity: - In this context, organisation is provided equal opportunity for
each and every employee in organisation. It is a responsibility to organisation that
provide every equal in work place (Creazza, Colicchia, and Dallari, 2015). In this way,
EEOC is created by the civil rights' act 1964. In this act government is say that all the
employees in organisation in same and equal. In this way, it is also included the under-
equality act 2010. The organisation is to be focus on each and every act and work
according them.
All such factor is most important in organisation. With the help of all such factor organisation is
grown in recent market.

B. Potential impact employment and contract low
Form the above case, a 16 year old girl is got injured due to slipping on water, fell from a
leaking ice cream machine. Also, she put her hand in the hot oil which made her to sustain severe
burns (Creazza, , Colicchia, . and Dallari, ., 2015). In this way, organisation is had short of staff
and interloper working condition. In this way, consumer proaction act is one of the most
important act in organisation or any other fast food coot. In this context, business team or manger
is get compensation for this accident.
SECTION 3
P.4 Legal solution of business problem
In this way, it is most important to all the business is use contract act in business. It is
help to increase level of employees satisfaction and maintained the growth rate in market.
 In the first case Calvin is working for a large fashion house for last 4 years. One day, the
employer and owner of the fashion firm, Mrs. Donna, came to the store, she found that
Calvin is acting suspiciously. When she cross checked the cash box, she found £100
missing from the cash box (Lu, and et.al., 2016). This made her furious and she entered
into the Calvin's cabin, and without any cross checking of other employees working, she
dismissed him from the job in fashion store. In this way under the employment act 1996
is focus on wrongful termination for employees in organisation is unlawful and it is not in
write way. He can ask for the apology and compensation of the salary. In this case, he can
also ask for the investigation for any miss habit in work place.
 In the second case Kevin’s father Dan owns a small convenience store. That store is
distorted by the fire. Then he can open new store in new location and help for the fire
insurance (Ayele, and et.al.,, 2015). In this way, when he asked for the contract, then he
had applied for any short claim in last 2 year. If hen say yes then there is no faire
insurance. But in this case he say no, then he can easily apply for the fire insurance for
damage.
There is all about the both the case and both the case is to be based on the business law
and there activity in organisation (Manzini, and et.al., 2017). As per the above case is to be focus
on how to solve any issue, with the help of different kinds of law.

P.5 Justification for solution
In the above case, both the case is totally different filed. Legal justification is most important in
both the filed. In this way, there are two case are as follows :-
 In case first, Calvin is working for a large fashion house for last 4 years. One day, the
employer and owner of the fashion firm, Mrs. Donna, came to the store, she found that
Calvin is acting suspiciously (Haesebrouck, and Meirvenne, 2015). In this case unlawful
termination is not use in organisation. In this way, he can file a case in any employment
court. In this context, he can ask Donna for termination. In organisation any termination
is without any notice is wrongful.
 In second case, case Kevin’s father Dan owns a small convenience store. That store is
distorted by the fire. Then he can open new store in new location and help for the fire
insurance (Haesebrouck, and Meirvenne, , 2015). In this case if he can not apply any
claim with in two year or 24 months as per the law of fire act. Then he can easily apply
for damage and government is help for them. Now, when he again claimed for the
insurance, he was denied the claim as he has provided a wrong information about his
claim due to violation of the contract law.

fair process before the court involve. To maintain relationship this method can be taken into
concern.
Legal rights are the priorities of the courts, ADR peacefully decides the solution with mutual
understanding and consent.

the business
 ADR helps in preserving relationships with proper counselling and within very limited
time period. (Manzini, and et.al., 2017)
 Each individual gets equal chance to tell problem and get responded without mediating
any lawyer. One can preserve goodwill by resolving conflict in ADR
There is all about the alternative dispute resolution is less expensive compared to other ways of
resolving disputes (Khanna and et.al 2015). This resolution helps everyone to overcome disputes.

experience mental health or legal professional. With the approval of the court, the
parenting coordination make decision with the scope of the court order and appointment

maintained the growth rate in market. In this context, it is focus on time, health and safety
and relationship. All such factor is help to increase the level of performance and
maintained the growth rate in market (Yuan, and et.al., 2014). It is help to mange the
high issue and different types of conflict in work place and lawyer is assigned by the

court. In this sector the organisation is to be focus on different factor and as per the law
and increase rate in market.
There is all about the recommendation and different activity is to be used in business law. In this
context, it is help to solve any problem in work place (Manzini, and et.al., 2017). It is most
important to increase the level of satisfaction and solve any kind of conflict in organisation. The
organisation is be focus on each and every activity at the time of work place.
Compare the effectiveness of two different recommendation.
It is basic for not to revolve around the negative impact to it. Both the proposal for the
case Antwon and Tyrell can be the frameworks of appreciating the issues or the conflicts amidst
them two. In any case, can be proper which would be Alternative Disputes Resolution which will
settle out case and after that a typical cognizance will be settle on better decision with convincing
negotiation. In this way, on the other hand the issues will comprehend out with the action as
indicated by the lawful method will be addition the cost ans time for both the social affairs and a
