Commercial law, also known as business law, is the legal body which governs the operations of business and commercial activities. Commercial law is often viewed as a branch of civil law and handles matters of both private law and public law. Commercial law regulates corporate and commercial contracts, hiring and certain employment activities, and the manufacturing and sales of goods. Several regulatory bodies and agencies control the operations and conduct of commercial entities, as well as legal matters associated with safety, privacy, and food and drugs.
A commercial use is one which is undertaken for a business purpose, rather than hobby, recreational, educational, or other purposes. Such uses are usually attributed to a for-profit entity, rather than an individual, university or other educational institutions, or non-profit organizations (such as public libraries, charities, and other organizations created for the promotion of social welfare).
