1. The first issue is whether the trial court erred in denying Greer's motion for summary judgment on the grounds that Mr. Austin's will contest was barred by T.C.A. § 32-4-108 (Supp. 1991).

Even though the claim was first filed in 2007, the jury trial which leads to additional $1.5m contingency loss happened in 2009. Thus, the adjustment should be recorded an event in 2009.

The Court ruled in favor of the appellant, and the decision is described as follows:

The Trial Court had not allowed the instruction on affirmative defense of abandonment and renunciation. The Appeals court reversed and sent it back to trial, so that the instruction could be

According to ASC 450-20-25-1, “When a loss contingency exists, the likelihood that the future event or events will confirm the loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability can range from probable to remote. As indicated in the definition of contingency, the term loss is used for convenience to include many charges against income that are commonly referred to as expenses and others that are commonly

7. Court’s Order: As a result of this holding the court has established sufficient law entitles P to have her case heard before trial court.

A loss contingency as per ASC 450-10-20 is “An existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible loss to an entity that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The term loss is used for conveniences to include many charges against income that are commonly referred to as expenses and others that are commonly referred to as losses.” Contingent liabilities depend on the occurrence of one or more future events to confirm the: amount payable, the payee, the date payable, or its existence.

Where no legal cases have a direct bearing on the issue of a case, the court should not turn to other disciplines for authority, as if there is no direct bearing then the outcome can be found through the court itself.

outweighs its prejudicial effect. People v. Albarran (2007) 149 Cal.App.4th 214, 223. We will not disturb a trial court’s exercise of discretion under Section 352 unless it exceeds the bounds of reason. People v. Funes (1994) 23 Cal.App.4th 1506, 1519.

The court may pierce the corporate veil when there is an implied agency relationship inside the corporate groups. By applying the 6 point test from SSK case in an orderly manner, Casino Ltd. may have argued that the profits earned by Caterers Ltd. are separate from them, given that distribution was made in the form of dividends. However, in reality the profits belong to Casino Ltd. This is because all the profits are given to them and Caterers Ltd. gets nothing. This means that the first criterion is satisfied. Additionally, since all the

The issue here becomes whether the court’s decision was the right one or if they could have come up with a different decision had the case been studied from different perspectives making the decision wrong. Both arguments (for and against the Court’s decision) are discussed below, but I personally believe that court’s decision was the only right one to make.

Mr. Alleman argued that Mr. Kitson failed to retain business records for Kitson Enterprises, a corporation of which Mr. Kitson was the sole shareholder and §727(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code prohibits discharge when the debtor has “concealed, destroyed, mutilated, falsified, or failed to keep or preserve” records"from which the debtor's financial condition or business transactions might be ascertained…”.The bankruptcy court found that these records were not material to Mr. Kitson's financial condition because the corporation’s tax returns showed that the business made no profit, the bankruptcy court had determined that Kitson Enterprises had no assets, and Mr. Kitson had earned no money from the corporation. The Court of Appeals, therefore, agreed that the bankruptcy court was correct to conclude that the records were immaterial and discharge was not barred under §727(a)(3).

Considering real world practices, as well as in accordance with the conceptual framework from the textbook, accrual of a loss from ongoing litigation is rare. Companies usually do not record a loss until after the ultimate settlement has been reached. For example, the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, in a recent quarterly report, disclosed but did not accrue damages from a lawsuit it lost, even after the award was affirmed by the trial court, because the company believe that it has valid bases in law and fact to overturn or appeal the verdict. Consequently, M corporation should not accrue the contingency loss but continually disclose the matter even when a judgment was reached against the corporation to pay $18.5 million in 2009, given that the
