Charles V. Ruth Case Brief

Extreme sumarization of r v brown( key point of arguments used by the five judges)

In the case of the State v. Ballew, James Ballew was a patient in the psychiatric ward who made a 911 call stating he and five other people had placed bombs in and around the Seattle airport. When police traced the call, they found out it had been James Ballew who made the threat and the state charged him with making a bomb threat. During his trial, Ballew appealed the court ruling by implying the court violated his First Amendment right of free speech. Although the First Amendment is broad, it does not extend to “true threats” which is what calling in a bomb threat falls under. A true threat basically states that a person makes a statement under circumstances where the intent is to inflict bodily harm or take the life of another person which absolutely applies to Mr. Ballew’s threat and the state cannot allow such statements which can cause fear amongst

. The Corps of Engineers would be allowed to build a protective dike but only in a manner mutually agreed to by the Department of Interior and the Corps. This was a controversial provision, reflecting what was then accepted practice with respect to hurricane protection, and there was serious disagreement in Carteret County as to whether a protective dike would be a wise move. Finally, an area of about 250 acres at Lookout Bight, belonging to Sanford busi-nessman Charles Reaves, was “mysteriously” excluded from the Seashore and another provision entitled any property owner owning property as of January 1, 1966, developed for non-commercial, residential purposes on July 1, 1963, to a 25-year right of use and occupancy.

This paper will be discussing the United States Supreme Court cases decision in Arizona v. Gant. It relates to automobile searches and how it came about in making implications for policy changes and practices based on the fourth amendment. I will compare and contrast a similar case to this and explain how this case created changes on searches of automobiles incident to arrest. In this paper, I will also explain what the fourth amendment of the constitution is and how Arizona v. Gant limits police vehicle searches.

The U.S. court of appeals ruled that the general release Marder signed was an enforceable contract. In other words, the court of appeals agreed with the district court’s verdict dismissing Marder’s complaint against Paramount. Marder’s complaint against Paramount was invalid because the contract she had sign with them covered all four of the characteristic found within a legal contract. Both parties made an agreement to release and discharge during the signing of the contract. Paramount paying Marder $2,300 is classified as a promise that was supported by a bargain-for consideration. Marder had contractual capacity and the objective of the contract was lawful. Marder should have negotiated for a percentage of the profit instead of signing off

Following on, The Roskill Committee concluded that a trial by a random jury was not an adequate way of achieving justice in such cases, with many jurors being 'out of their depth', arguing even the most qualified individuals may struggle with the huge amounts of documents presented to them. (Roskill Committee, 1986) However, the Committee was unable to find any precise evidence that showed a higher proportion of acquittals in complex fraud cases than in any other kind of case, with the majority of their conclusions and findings being based on research by Baldwin and McConville in 1979, and yet none of the questionable acquittals reported were related to complex fraud cases. Therefore, this proves to be quite a limited source in showing juries

This case is very interesting. First let’s see what considerations means in business law. In order to meet the criteria as consideration, three rules need to be present: 1) Both parties must receive something of value; 2) If someone makes a promise to give something of value, this signifies a consideration; and 3) The two parties involved must come to an agreement of terms in regard to what items of value are exchanged in the deal (Beatty, 2008).

The defendants Glen Sebastian Burns and Atif Ahmad Rafay were accused to have committed aggravated first degree murder in Washington State. In a confession to an undercover RCMP officer in British Columbia, posing as a mob boss, it is clamed that Burns was a contract killer hired by Rafay to kill his parents so that Rafay could get insurance money for their deaths. It is claimed that Burns beat the victims with a baseball bat while Rafay watched (para.10). They threw their cloths away and took a bath to wash away the blood. The accused claim that the alleged confession was a lie to gain the confidence of who they thought was a Mob Boss (para.11). They were to be extradited to the United States, where if

From this data and using the cost approach, the average capital growth rate from recent years is about 1.78 %. Therefore, the latest value of Charlestown Square was $853,500,000 including building, improvement and land, and then after adding the capital growth, it is valued about $868,700,000. The valuation of the Charlestown Square can be assumed that $868,700,000 with capital growth rate of 1.78%.

The court acknowledges the Potters lawsuit for restitution of sums paid on the property and it was not for expectancy damages. Clearly, the court stated, “By selecting the remedy of rescission and restitution, rather than expectation, or reliance damages, Potters chose what is usually the smallest awardable recovery.”(case, pg.4) Therefore, the court claims the remedy for this lawsuit was a fair decision. Since the market value of the property decreases their total recovery and the court felt it was an appropriate decision to deduct $10,800 from the awarding amount. The court rejects Oster statement that the amount should have been base on the market value when the contract was breached instead of when the performance occurs.

Due to the circumstance I strongly feel Jane will win the case. She will win for consequential damages. Defined in the textbook as; foreseeable damages that result from a party’s breach of contract or special damages. Which are caused by special circumstances beyond the contract itself. When the seller fails to deliver goods, knowing the buyer plans to use or resell goods immediately. For example in the case: Hadley v. Baxendale where the Hadleys hired Baxendale to transport the shaft to be fixed, Baxendale promised to deliver the shaft the following day. But the shaft was not delivering until a few days later which cause the Hadley’s to close the mill for a few days which cost them money. The Hadley’s sued to recover profits lost during that

In the article “Consideration - in Acceptance of Contract”， this support Robert’s (2015) evidence that if an act is performed then a subsequent promise to pay by reference to that act is not enforceable as the consideration was past. Other that, he also noted that if there was an implication; the past promise to pay is enforceable.
