This module introduces students to the concepts and influences that the English legal system has upon the development, planning and management of medium sized special events. It covers statutory and regulatory law, duty of care and the formation of contract between those who organise events and other stakeholders.
Organising and running a special event or exhibition counts under law as a `work activity' which requires a whole range of regulatory measures, from the application of permits to run the event, through to devising a strategy to ensure the safety of all stakeholders. These practicalities require students to have a wide understanding of the formal event management process, deciding when to undertake the activity themselves and when to appoint and manage consultants to undertake more complex procedures.
Due to the need for certainty in delivering special events, students will also develop an understanding of formal procurement contracts and the sharing of risk through insurance.

The learning strategy for this module is based around students committing a total of 150 hours of activities towards achieving the learning outcomes. These will be split between 39 hours of direct contact with a tutor and 111 hours of directed, guided and self-study, together with preparation for and completion of the assessment tasks. Learning support material will be provided for the module.
The module will draw upon a mixture of activities including lectures, web-based activities, case study analysis, relevant videos and in-class discussions, individual and group problem solving and self-directed learning.
