Finally, the third reason is a breach of warranty claim. The law implies a warranty by a manufacturer which places its product on the market that the product is reasonably fit for the ordinary purpose for which it was intended. If it is, in fact, defective and not reasonably fit to be used for its intended purpose, the warranty is breached. Ultimately, Nancy Denny won because the court found that defendant had, “breached its implied warranty of merchantability and that the breach was the proximate cause of Nancy Denny's injuries”. Ford may have avoided these liabilities had they marketed the vehicles manual towards off road only, or had they proved product safety was “reasonable” to drive in ordinary circumstances.

To what extent do you think the U.S.-Canadian magazine dispute was motivated by genuine desires to protect Canadian culture?

1 It is highly probable that the desire to protect the culture of Canada by the Canadian Government was not genuine. This is because the magazine industry is only a small portion of the entire Canadian mass media. Hence, the situation leads us to question, what is the hidden intention and the actual motive behind Canadian Government backing its magazine industry? If the Canadian Government was genuine about protecting its culture from US, I believe that there are more effective and logical ways to protect the culture, instead of focusing to protect only the magazine industry.
