Codelfa Construction Case Brief

(a) Why did CSX make a two-tiered offer? What effect does this structure have on the transaction?

In the case between Michael Franz David Willms and Manisha Willms and Macdonald builders (Celtic Homes) Ltd, outlines a “breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation” (Willms v. MacDonald Builders (Celtic Homes) Ltd., 2016), and contains the application of the builder’s lien act. The plaintiffs had come to and agreement with the defendant to renovate their house. However the Plaintiffs argue that the conduct of the defendant led to the creation of many deficiencies, which ultimately led to the project not being completed to the level of satisfaction the plaintiffs desired. This in turn led to legal action.

Larry Page once said, “Especially in technology, [we] need revolutionary change, not incremental change.” Whether he is speaking about the Transcontinental Railroad system or the latest iPhone, what he says is true. If change is going to happen, it needs to bring a revolution of some kind along with it, otherwise, it will just become lost in history. This makes us wonder, how did the railroad system affect the US? The railroad system benefited the US most economically by industrializing towns it ran through, lowering shipping costs, and allowing for mass imports and exports.

Nowadays people have the option drive, fly, or take a train to anywhere they desire to travel, but had it not been for the Pacific Rail Way Act in 1862, we wouldn’t have to option to travel by train. This act affected today's railroads greatly for had it not been for the Pacific Rail Way Act, we wouldn’t have the transcontinental railroad and we wouldn’t be able to travel by train today. The interest was high for having a railroad that traveled across the states, having a railroad would not only allow for more trading and also more treaties to be made. When the Pacific Rail Way Act was in full swing, land conflicts arose, two railroad companies were competing for the position to be the main railroad company, and 5,000 civil war prisoners were petitioned to be workers of the railroad.

This paper is prepared in order to understand the IRAC format (Issues, Rule, Analysis, and Conclusion). The IRAC format is considered as the standard format for soling the case studies of the law. In this paper, the case of “ROADS AND TRAFFIC AUTHORITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES V DEDERER (2007)” is selected to demonstrate the learning about the comprehension and understanding of terminology of law, particularly the terms used in the Law of Tort. Moreover, critical things and case law searching to solve the case study is also practiced and properly referenced in the solution of the case study. Here is the case study solution:

Cross-Complainants are informed and believe, and thereon allege, that Cross-Defendants had no intention of completing the reconstruction improvements within four months because, among other thing, the first document, the Work Authorization, was signed on August 21, and the permit was not submitted until December 7, 2015.

'Although everyone thought a transcontinental railroad was a good idea, deep disagreement arose over its path. The Northern states. The Americans who are sponsoring this build, and are hiring all of these workers are not even trying to act like they care. There are these hard working men out here, only earning a living of seven or eight dollars a month. It is horrible to see these men tricked out of their labor, when in fact, they are doing these people a favor. And to know that they do not even care for the health of their workers, makes me feel sick. While building a tunnel through a mountain, it collapsed. This killed off a good percentage of the workers the Americans hired.

This court case involved the plaintiff Hamptons Landscaping Service Inc., who had been represented by Lieb at Law, P.C. This side of the case then was seeking summary judgment to recover $17,217.00, from the defendants Michael & Frances Sherman who had been represented by Kelly and Hulme, P.C. which was alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment causes of action. The Sherman’s had crossed moved seeking an order dismissing Hampton's complaint, also had asserting that Second

Plaintiff Van Dunk was a laborer by defendant James Construction Company who hired excavator contractor to work on pond. Key is the superintendent for the project who is aware of OSHA safety and he knows the OSHA required everyone in the field to be protected. This also consider those who work in the excavator ,so they can be safe from cave-ins. However, the superintendent did not require and type of safety protection to make the trench stable. So the trench was constructed with zero safety and protection. While working in the trench employees had struggled lining the trench with fabric, so the plaintiff offered and volunteered to go down into the trench and help his co-workers to fix it. Key did not allowed him to go down into the trench

big regional hub as part of the Michigan State Rail Plan, which is now the 12th largest in the country. The Michigan State Rail Plan aims to continue to improve the service and quality of the rail system, by ensuring the rail system is continually funded. The Gerald R. Ford International Airport is a major airport that transports large amounts of air cargo, and services flights to numerous cities around the country through numerous airlines such as American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Continental Airlines. A large, interstate highway system runs through Grand Rapids that connects the city to the rest of the Midwest area.

Termination for Default permits the government to terminate the contract if the contractor fails to deliver within the time defined in the contract, fails to perform as per provisions incorporated in the contract or the contractor performance can potentially lead to failure. Under the T4D clause, the government has the right to complete the work and charge the contractor for the consequential excess costs incurred. However, the government is also likely to suffer substantial economic and time losses. Therefore, the decision to terminate for default must be the result of the CO’s exercise of sound discretion. In the case of Darwin, the default termination was motivated by a desire not to do business with the contractor rather than deficiencies in the contractor’s performance. I do agree with the board’s decision since the CO knew that Darwin had performed more than half of the work in an acceptable manner and there was no evidence to suggest that Darwin was financially unable to complete the remainder of the work.

Balfour Beatty were given a contract worth £60 million in order to build roughly nine kilometres of tunnel and numerous NATM tunnels with two underground stations at Terminal 4 and the CTA. Balfour Beatty’s £60 million contract was part of the total estimated £440 million for the whole of the Heathrow Rail Link Project. Geoconsult,

The Chunnel Tunnel project was initiated to connect via a tunnel France and England. It was among the biggest privately funded infrastructure projects ever. Fifty kilometres long, the tunnel extended under the English Channel from France to England. It required the collaboration of two very different government entities, with very different policies. The tunnel was designed and built by Trans Manche Link a private group and financed by Eurotunnel a combination of French and British

Introduction:The metro-railproject is a much talked development project in the country now a days. After the Padma bridge project it is the most talked and most expensive development project of the country.The project has been undertaken by the government of Bangladesh to reduce the massive traffic jam and to make easy the transportation system within the Dhaka city. Dhaka is the one of the most populated mega city of the world. To provide a better transport facility to its citizen Dhaka has not that much good transport system to carry the passengers within the city. To ensure the improved, faster, comfortable and time bound transport system in the Dhaka the government of Bangladesh has undertaken the metro-rail project.

The first and most important thing for a railway company is to plan efficiently the movement of trains on a railway network. In here we review the models and methods which have been proposed in assisting the planners in finding the train routes. The problem of routing trains involves allocating the track capacity of the network. In here we take a look into train dispatching, train tabling, train routing, and train plat forming routing problems and discuss track allocation from a strategic, tactical, and operational level.
