2. Commercial

​The response to COVID-19 has had an extraordinary economic impact. This has several causes, including, primarily, legislation enacted in response to COVID-19. Mitigation and amelioration of that economic impact has itself required legislative responses.

There is an inevitable time lag between the events that cause disputes giving rise to commercial litigation and the decisions of courts and tribunals that determine those disputes. The intense and extensive commercial disruption that has followed COVID-19 has given rise to numerous commercial disputes that will, in time, give rise to numerous decisions about substantive areas of commercial law.

The areas of law covered by this section are:
A.  Bankruptcy & Insolvency
B.  Contract
C.  Competition & Consumer
D.  Corporations
E.  Transactions
