The course Commercial Law II aims to provide students with a solid, systematic, and critical understanding of the main institutions of commercial law related to commercial contracts, negotiable instruments, and insolvency law. The goal is for students to grasp the legal and economic foundations of these concepts, identify their functions within business activity, and apply them rigorously to real or simulated practical situations.
The course also seeks to foster the ability to analyze and solve complex legal problems through case studies, interpretation of legal and case law texts, and the development of well-founded legal arguments. Additionally, it promotes the development of transversal skills such as critical thinking, oral and written legal communication, and collaborative work.
Ultimately, the course aims for students to acquire the necessary competencies to effectively address professional challenges related to commercial contracting, the creation and circulation of negotiable instruments, and the management of business insolvency situations, both from the perspective of legal advisory and legal practice.

Learning process
the learning process of students is structured according to three activitie:
1. Directed activities
There are two types and they take place in the classroom:
a) Master class. The professors explains the lessons that conform the subject.
b) Seminars. Students apply the theorical knowledge they have acquired. Professors and students work together.
In the Law Degree, three evaluable activities will be carried out (two practical cases and a comment or analysis of sentences). Two of these three activities will be worth 1.5 points and the third will be worth 2 points. The sum of all of them will compute 50% of the final grade. Attendance at seminars is mandatory. The dates of the evaluation activities will be made public at the beginning of the semester through the Teaching Space of the Virtual Campus.
In Business Administration + Law, the continuous evaluation it is the sum of the notes of the weekly activities. The weekly seminars will compute 20% of the final grade. Work Outside the Classroom will compute 30% of the final grade. The remaining 50% will be the exam grade. Attendance is mandatory.
The academic staff will publish the dates of these activities at the begining of the semestre in the Teaching Space of the Aula Moodle.
2. Supervised activities
Students will prepare the subject and solve doubts in the tutoring services, that can be individual or in group.
3. Autonomous activities
They those activities that imply that students organize their time and effort, both individual or in group, to achieve the required abilities. For instance, they will read and study the bibliography, they will prepare mind-maps and summaries, etc. Regarding Commercial Law II, most of the autonomous activities should be related to follow-up the directed activities and the preparation of the final theoretical exam.
Note: 15 minutes of a class will be reserved, according to the calendar established by the center/degree, for the complementation by the students of the assessment surveys of the professor's performance and the assessment of the subject /module. Likewise, it is necessary to reserve 5 hours for exams
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Continious assessment | 50% | 5 | 0.2 | 2, 5, 4, 3, 10, 8, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13 |
Final exam | 50% | 5 | 0.2 | 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 1 |
Transparency in the Use of AI
For this course, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks such as information search, text correction, translations, or information organization. Students must clearly identify how they have used AI, share their interactions with AI tools with the teaching staff, and include a critical reflection on how these tools have influenced the process and final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this graded activity will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in partial or total penalties on the activity grade, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.
Continuous Assessment
To pass the course, students must obtain a 5 by averaging the graded activities and the final exam (or the resit exam), with a minimum of 3.5 points average in the graded activities and a minimum of 5 in the final exam.
To be eligible for the resit exam, students must have obtained at least a 3.5 average in the course.
SEMINARS AND GRADED ACTIVITIES
Continuous assessment is divided into two parts: seminars and graded activities.
The continuous assessment grade is obtained by summing the results of the graded activities.
However, attendance at seminars is mandatory and will be part of the continuous assessment, adjusting the grade obtained in the graded activities.
Attendance will affect the continuous assessment as follows:
Only justified absences will be accepted for: health issues, hospitalization or medical rest (with official documentation), death of a family member up to the second degree, accidents or force majeure, elite athletes with official competitions, and other exceptional comparable causes.
At the beginning of the course, the dates of the graded activities will be communicated via the virtual campus, and seminar attendance percentages will be adjusted according to the criteria described and the number of scheduled seminars, determining the number of seminars required for each tier.
Single Assessment
Students who choose the single assessment system will be evaluated based on the following items:
For these activities, studentsmay consult therelevant legislation in paper format only.
No access to digital resources, notes, or other materials will be allowed. Only legislation may be used, and only if not supplemented with additional information.
These activities will be carried out in person, on the same day as the multiple-choice test.
The same resit system as in continuous assessment will apply.
The same “not assessable” criteria as in continuous assessment will also apply.
