The course covers central parts of property law with an emphasis on rules that concern the internal relations of companies and company and entrepreneur relations to the surrounding world.

Further, purchase of goods and services both between traders and between traders and consumers is covered.
The second part of the course covers general real-estate law, particularly rules about the purchase agreement's form, conditions, the fixture rules of realty, and the seller's responsibility for the condition of the real estate. This part also covers rules on claims, limitation and credit guarantees, both special and general execution and seizure and bankruptcy. Furthermore, the relation between employer and employee is covered.
The third and final part covers the different business forms.
