This book examines the main areas of commercial law which apply in the common law jurisdictions of the South Pacific region. This includes Cook Islands, Fiji Islands, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Niue, Nauru, (Western) Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. Its approach is both structural, in terms of the establishment and termination of commercial organizations as well as their internal and external relations, and transactional, in examining the legal principles applicable to various kinds of commercial dealings such as insurance, sale of goods, bills of exchange and aspects of foreign trade and international commerce relevant to the region.
