6. Misrepresentation is: A statement of fact made by one party to contract (the representor) to the other (the representee) which, while not forming a term of the contract, is one of the reasons that induces the representee to enter into the contract. 7.

A misrepresentation is a statement made that is not unified with the truth. There are two categories that misrepresentation can fall under: either innocent or fraudulent.

36. Principle of Law: The transaction between Browne and Houlihan was just under negotiation process and not form the contract. Browne did not acknowledge Houlihan’s e-mail and did not reply to accept Houlihan’s request, so he sold the television set to another. Houlihan then purchased a new set more expensive than Browne’s set. Both of them didn’t break the contract because there’s no contract between them. Therefore Houlihan had no legal basis to sue Browne for $1,000.

Once the couple started to get settled into their room, a number of different incidents occurred that could of easily been handled with a properly trained staff that executed 5-star customer service. McKenzie asked for a luggage rack, which was promised immediately and never delivered to his room. McKenzie also made several requests that extra pillows be brought to his room, which were promised and were failed to deliver (Kayalar). With key persistence he was later told, “the hotel did not have extra pillows available.” I want to note that the hotel was not at full capacity, so if proper customer service was instilled in the employees a trip to a vacant room for a pillow could have easily solved this request. The couple in turn requested towels to use to bulk up the flat pillows. Thankfully, the towels were delivered, however, the employee did not address their inconvenience and in fact never said a word or had a smile on their face. Customer service is not only providing the material, but it is also having the face of the employee that is representing the company or business to make a good impression on the guest or client. Another issue with the room was the restocking of everyday

Religious citizens have been protected beyond taxation as well. Louis Fischer found in his article Statutory Exemptions for Religious, “A Pennsylvania law in 1775, omitted military religious citizens to bear military arms.

The National Defense Act of 1916 excluded military exemptions from people with

Angela may well be successful in court, as it could be argued that there is an implied term in the contract that the hotel should provide reasonable care. As seen in similar circumstances in Olley v Marlborough Court Ltd, by leaving the door to Angela’s room unlocked, the hotel did not fulfil this term of providing reasonable care. The sign on the back of the door is not an express term within the contract, as it was not communicated at the time the contract was made.
Contracts are used in many different forms and for just as many different situations within our everyday lives.
