PCSL 9N578 - Transportation Law
Programming Description
Transportation Law course focuses on sector-relevant legislation, regulations, and contract law to limit personal and corporate exposure. In this course, you’ll explore the essential legislation, regulations, and contract law that shape the Canadian transportation sector. You’ll learn how legal and commercial accountabilities are judged across all modes of transportation, giving you the insight needed to understand how sector specific laws are applied in real world contexts. Throughout the course, you’ll build the skills to interpret evolving case law that affects the import, export, and domestic movement of goods. This will help you operate in compliance with legal requirements, understand your obligations, exercise due diligence, and recognize when it’s necessary to seek legal counsel.
Transportation Law is especially valuable if you have any responsibility for compliance or if you are involved in developing, executing, or fulfilling transportation related contracts. By the end of the course, you will be able to identify and implement the protections needed to reduce both corporate and personal exposure to administrative, civil, and criminal liabilities within the transportation industry.
