Legal and Social Paper

Mr. Potbelly holds a garage sale at his home. Mr. Slim Jim stops by the sale and upon noticing a rare piece of art pottery offers a price of $100 for the art that is marked $250. Mr. Potbelly accepts Mr. Slim Jim’s offer. Mr. Potbelly informs Mr. Slim Jim he is selling his home because he is moving up north because he has lost his job. Mr. Slim Jim asks how much he is selling it for and Mr. Potbelly informs him he is thinking $75,000. Mr. Slim Jim offers him $70,000 cash for the property which Mr. Potbelly immediately accepts the offer. Mr. Slim Jim informs Mr. Potbelly that he will be back in one hour with a cashiers’ check made payable to Mr. Potbelly. Mr. Potbelly says “Great!” and that while Mr. Slim Jim

15–1. Liquidated Damages. Carnack contracts to sell his house and lot to Willard for $100,000. The terms of the contract call for Willard to make a deposit of 10 percent of the purchase price as a down payment. The terms further stipulate that if the buyer breaches the contract, Carnack will retain the deposit as liquidated damages. Willard makes the deposit, but because her expected financing of the $90,000 balance falls through, she breaches the contract. Two weeks later, Carnack sells the house and lot to Balkova for $105,000. Willard demands her $10,000 back, but Carnack refuses, claiming that Willard’s breach and the contract terms entitle him to keep the deposit. Discuss who is correct. (See Damages.)

Another issue presented with the bailments issue is how the car was sold to a used car lot and then sold to another individual. This issue is referred to as good faith purchasers for value described as “honesty in fact, in the conduct or transaction concerned; in the case of the merchant, and all parties under revised Article I, it also includes the observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing.” (Mann & Roberts, 2016, p.374) The new owner of the car is innocent and has purchased the car unknowingly as well as the dealer, but under the good faith purchasers for value, the individual who has the title is the owner. Mr. Martin, you are the one with the title; therefore, you are the owner and should notify authorities of the

As for the money that was to hold the car for Jim and Laura I do believe that was an agreement that Stan did meet. He held that car until the next day when he called Jim and Laura and they informed him that they were no longer interested. Stan did say that it was refundable but there was not a receipt for the money, so it would be hard to prove what the money was for. Getting the deposit back there is no law that requires the dealership to refund the money. What Jim and Laura should have done was inquire to what the dealerships policy was before making a deposit or signing any documents. Or they could have requested something in writing about the deposit being refunded if they choose to change their minds.

Before the red sandstone building came to life, there was a county jail that opened in 1897. Initially, the County of Orange bought land in 1893 from Santa Ana’s founder, William Spurgeon, with the intention to build a courthouse (ocparks). Originally, Orange Courthouse had no courthouse. So, by July 1900, construction began through the use of architect Charles Strange’s drawings. They were selected specifically by the Orange County Board of Supervisors. Successfully, the 1903 deadline was met considering it got completed by 1901 at a cost of $117,000. This site is historical since it’s the oldest surviving courthouse of Southern California, and because of the significant cases that got decided at this courthouse such as: establishing laws,

On Friday, April, 4, 2014, I observed the Vanderburgh County Superior Court to observe different family law cases. The cases I heard involved contempt of court for failing to pay child support, failure to appear for a court appointed drug test, birth certificate affidavit, request for contest hearing time, and an issue of paternity case. Magistrate Judge Sheila M. Corcoran was presiding over the family court hearings. When entering the courthouse, I was greeted by security and advised to remove any cell phones, and/or, any other items that would trigger a metal detector. After this, I proceeded straight to look for the family courtroom. After roaming around mindlessly for a couple minutes, I decided to ask the courthouse officer monitoring

If Jimmy did give Billy permission, then Jimmy is the bailor and Billy is the bailee, and the benefit is of the bailee (Billy). The standard of care is high (great care) and the standard of proof is low. This could be mutual too, because if Jimmy exchanged the truck to use Billy’s house for a few hours, then they both benefited (same standard of care and of proof as in situation two). But if Billy was supposed to have watched the truck for Jimmy’s benefit, then the benefit would have been for just Jimmy (the bailor); the standard of care would be low (slight care) and the standard of proof is high being liable for gross negligence. This means that Jimmy would have to prove that Billy acted with extreme carelessness. But, if this is the case, then Billy did not have permission, so he had no right to use the truck. If I understand the textbook correctly, then the use without permission is technically a “tort of conversion” on Billy, which makes him liable for the damages. Even If he used great care and parked properly in a parking zone, and wasn’t guilty of negligence, Billy is liable/responsible for the major damages done by the drunk driver slamming into the truck. The truck would have to have been parked properly in a “parking zone;” otherwise, there could be issues about that. In conclusion, it looks like Timmy is liable for the alignment, the valet (hotel Hyatt) for the scratches, and Billy for the other major damages. Yikes! What a messy

In Kushner v. President of Altantic City, Inc, the court held that under the state’s hotelkeeper’s statute an automobile was considered “personal property” for which a hotel would be liable unless the loss was caused by fault or negligence of the hotel proprietor. In the case of the Helton’s, the motel was liable for their loss. The motel was negligent is alerting its guest of previous thefts and burglaries at their establishment and management was negligent in trying to conceal the truth about the occurring problem. The motel failed to provide the necessary security precaution for its

Regarding this case in particular, I would have to agree with the dealership owner, Al Green. Since Hughes already entered into an agreement to buy the Lincoln Continental and took immediate possession of the vehicle, she is now responsible for the car. The dealer followed procedure in presenting the certificate of title once the check was received from the bank.

The entire case of his car being stolen would be guided by the Occupier’s Liability Act 1957, which emphasises that all individuals who have control over premises or land owe a duty of care to all their legal visitors (Jones 2013, p. 395). The legal principles emphasised by the Act extend to areas of employment where employers are expected to ensure that the property is protected adequately. Unlawful commissions or omissions leading to the damage or the loss of the property would attract damages under the Occupier’s Liability Act 1957.

Donna Driver unintentionally ran a red light, and caused a car accident with Vic Victim. Vic sustained severe injuries. Donna’s auto insurance policy with Gekko has liability coverage limit of $100,000.00. Vic’s medical bills alone run close to that, and there’s also his loss of work and pain & suffering to be taken into account. Vic wants to settle the entire case for $100,000.00, and Donna pleads with Gekko to do so since it is obvious that he could recover more than that based on the facts of this case. Gekko tells her that they will only offer $50,000.00, and if it’s not accepted, they will take their chances at trial.

A union is an organization of workers who join together in order to have a voice in improving their jobs and the quality of work within the organization. In many occasions, unions help employees of an organization negotiate pay, benefits, flexible hours and other work conditions that may arise. Unions have a role because some degree of conflict is inevitable between workers and management (Noe, 2003). In this paper, I will be discussing the impact of unions and labor relations within an organization.

The first court that I attend was district court, the judge was Fernando r. macias

Bleeding to death as depraved eyes watch without calling for help or helping. Why are witness eyes depraved? Observer sees people in need, but yet they look and turn the other cheek.

Looking at this situation where you sold your car to a minor and after a month they bring the car back to you with a few damages on the side and wanted their money back. You would in fact have to give the seventeen year old his money back since he is still a minor. The reason why I would have to give his money back to him is because the fact he is a minor he has the ability to make a contract voidable. That’s why in class we mentioned several time not to enter a contract with someone who is a minor. The best way to avoid this situation especially with someone buying a car from you is to have one of the parents sign the contract as the primary buyer and they minor as the secondary buyer so that they don’t have the ability to return the car within
