Know the Law Now!
The law is an unseen force that exists around you every-day of your life. Behind the scenes, the law provides the order and structure that makes your life what it is. The law does this by taking many forms; property law governing why you can sleep in your bed, employment law ensuring you are paid fairly and even contract law ensuring that you are entitled to your lunch from a hawker.
So invisible is the law in our daily lives, that many people have no idea how it relates to them. Some people can even come close to breaking laws they had no idea existed - and this creates big problems! A salesman who feels like he doesn’t give a refund for a lemon, or an employer unfairly terminating an employee without compensation may not realise what they are doing is against the law. That is why it is the duty of everyone to KNOW THE LAW!
Since 1998, the Know the Law (“KTL”) Handbook has been produced and circulated for this very reason; promoting legal awareness amongst the public. The KTL handbook is streamlined into 9 nine main topics to ensure user-friendliness. The KTL handbook covers all the major areas of the law which apply to individuals on a daily basis.
