Contracts Business Law

The particular focus of this essay is on how terms are implied. This is central because the courts intervene and impose implied terms when they believe that in addition to the terms the parties have expressly agreed on, other terms must be implied into the contract. Gillies argued that the courts have become more interventionist in protecting the rights of contracting parties thereby encroaching upon the notion of freedom of contract. The doctrine of freedom of contract is a prevailing philosophy which upholds the idea that parties to a contract should be at liberty to agree on their own terms without the interference of the courts or legislature. Implied terms can be viewed as a technique of construction or interpretation of contracts. It has been argued that the courts are interfering too much in their approach to determine and interpret the terms of a contract. The aim of this essay is to explore this argument further and in doing so consider whether freedom of contract is lost due to courts imposing implied terms. The essay will outline how the common law implies terms. The final part of the essay will examine whether Parliament, by means of a statute, or terms implied by custom restrict freedom in a contract. An overall conclusion on the issue will be reached.

Threat of Substitute Products and Rivalry Among Competitors- these two forces are closely related. In marketing, the word “product” means more than a good, service or idea. Product is a broad concept that also encompasses the satisfaction of all consumer needs in relation to a good, service or idea. All planning strategies have the goal of creating a sustainable competitive advantage in which other companies simply cannot provide the same value to their customers that the firm does, no matter how hard they try. When a national chain retailer has a competitive advantage with a product, it must take steps to safe guard that product to stay different and unique in the marketplace. For example, Macy’s is the exclusive retailer for Martha Stewart home lines and is currently in a legal battle with JCPenney who announced that they will carry that line as well.

Contract law has set out to provide a healthy trade environment. Contracts are promises enforced by the law, with the support of something of value that has a legal purpose. It is an agreement between parties, formed by the elements: offer and acceptance, with all parties having the capacity to perform obligations enforceable by law. There are instances where the enforcement of a contract would bring about gains or losses to society and commerce.

Office Depot and Staples, had worked so hard on making mutual agreements and knew that the FTC wouldn't hold back on any "evidence" that they found and it would be used in a negative way. Office Depot and Staples wouldn't have their reputation put at risk, and had fought hard for the injustice. Both Office Depot and Staples had stated: "The FTC unfairly uses a narrow definition of our "product" as well as who our competitors are. Staples and Office Depot together sell only 5.5% percent of office-supply products in the nation. Merging the two firms would not substantially increase concentration or lessen competition."

Independent sales representatives work to put together profitable sales deals for manufacturers who often don’t have the time or desire to develop relationships for the sale of their products. Sales and manufacturing are often two different mindsets. Manufacturers often rely on independent sales representatives for this part of the process. Paying the sales commission is part of doing business until the manufacturer decides to lower his cost by selling directly to the customer. Once the relationship is built, the money that was paying the sales commission can be saved or invested elsewhere. “A bad economy only increases the cost cutting measures by manufacturers. However, when cost cutting measures involve breaching a prior agreement

The best model of jurisprudence describing a court's review of local zoning ordinances termed as the planning law suggests that some form of plan is necessary. The model draws heavily on administrative law doctrines to state that all gradual changes must conform to standards set out in the previous scheme. In this context, it means that the rezoning of residential land to commercial was contrary to the previous plan in the zoning ordinance. Moreover, courts apply the case of Fasano v.

Contracts, business, and laws are three simple little words, but when put together they have a substantial impact on our everyday lives. Below we will discuss three case studies. The first case is between Chris, Matt, and Ian vs. Donald Margolin, who was injured when he used an aftershave lotion that he bought off the internet called Funny Face. The second case is between Sam, his landlord, and a national chain store. Sam is being accused of conducting business from his apartment and going back on a verbal promise. In the last case is two lifelong friends who decided to join in a partnership and open up a sporting goods shop. Therefore, before the appropriate court can proceed with the first case, the court should take into several considerations around the rules of jurisdiction, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), and whether or not corporation/or corporate offices can be held for the criminal or potential act. In the second case before the court can rule the court should determine the various elements of a valid contract, if a quasi-contract exists, a promissory estoppel, and the rights an obligation of a tenant would prevail on Sam 's claims. Finally, in the third case between Jeb and Josh, they should determine the type of business entity that will overall protect their business and personal needs.
