Marshall may sue our company for breach of contract. Marshall may also express that he should be compensated for his future lost of income that he will run into from this lost connection.

Marshall will argue that this long term business connect will affect his overall business with his customers expectations. Overall, Marshall will stress that this disconnect will take time to rebuild with other supplies and needs to compensated fully. The legal defense my company will present that there was a relational contract maybe present, but the written contract is non void. Marshall had a minor who was not the owner of our company sign a contract that hold no merit. My company can prove why this disconnection from Marshall is valid. Due to the lack of communication, fraud in execution of a contract, lack of professionalism and inability to pay on time proves that this business relationship should cease.

Overall, no promises or legitimate contract were made with Marshall in regards to our company seeking business elsewhere at any time.

Our company is built on Christianity beliefs, but with business this can be hard to find in some situation. In Leviticus 19:18 (The New King James Version), it says that “You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD.” This verse should give understanding to Marshall that our intentions were not unfair, but for growth of the company we want to have. Marshall should still see faith due to fact he was blessed to build a connection with our company that increase income for his company. This same relationship can be build with other reputable potential suppliers that are local. Since we build our business connect in the church we should seek counselor and answers from the church to resolve this matter. We believe that "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. (Matthew 5:9, The New King James Version). If we can resolve this matter in a peaceful area like the church we will find understanding. Even though our company has established a long term relationship, there should have been no reason why we could not expand our company with others. Overall, the bible states that in James 1:19-20,”This you know, my beloved brethren But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the
A contract is defined as, “a legally enforceable exchange of promises or an exchange of a promise for an act that assures that parties to the agreement that their promises will be enforceable (Kubasek 2015).” Contracts are essential for businesses to conduct business with one another. Before delving too far into the Muscadine grape case, it is also important to note that a sale is the, “passing of title to goods from buyer to seller for a price (Kubasek 2015)” and that a good is considered, “tangible personal property (Kubasek 2015).” Muscadine grapes and their by-products are the goods in question. When considering any legal case it is important to first consider the facts and the issues that are being considered.

Dr. Deere was unsuccessful in proving his case under TRPA. There was absolutely no evidence. The only evidence documented, was the mere fact that he was referred to as a consultant or as a contract laborer. I feel that Dr. Ingram established his business as a sole owner, due to Dr. Deere lack of participation financially and with day-to-day operations.
Marshall can provide factual examples of his business promoting Muscadine grapes and receiving consistent and fair market value of the product by monthly invoices. According to Rousseau (1989), “the implied contract is a pattern or custom of obligations of reciprocity observable by third parties.” The legal stance he may bring is that of an implied-in-fact contract. In the case of Barry v. Pacific West Const, Inc., (2004) Pac-West, the general contractor, hired a subcontractor (Barry) who was not licensed to perform specific maintenance. Barry performed construction on the job and he refused to perform construction that he was not licensed to complete. Upon this request, Pac-West turned him away from the job site. Barry sued for breach of contract and unjust enrichment. The courts could not enforce the signed contract because Barry was not licensed/certified to perform the work. However, the court ruling decided that the work he did complete before we was let go, unjustly enriched Pac-West. The court concluded that Barry could recover only the amount he performed on that job site. The case study is no different. No party in the case study was unjustly enriched but the contract is not enforceable by law due to the inability for a minor to enter into a contract.
The purpose of this paper is to review the case study of Marshall Petersen. I decided to do business with Marshall after meeting him in my Sunday school class in Huntsville, Alabama.

I acted upon good faith from the beginning delivery everything promptly and gave Marshall consistent prices. Even though Marshall was often late on payments, I continued to give him my best services without penalty. However, our business relationship quickly turned for the worse when Marshall handed my son a requirement contract, which

I am not terribly involved in stocks, Wall Street, or international trade. The only news I receive about business is when a non-profit is funded or corruption is discovered in a major corporation. Reading Grudem’s book gave me insight into issues businesses face, both internally and externally. His book also claims that every aspect of business is fundamentally good from a Biblical standpoint. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate business under Biblical values and analyze how productivity, profit, and competition can be used and misused in Biblical context.

In this week’s Individual Project we are asked to consider specific questions in regards to the case of a Seattle man who took on a soft drink giant in regards to a Harrier Jet. The following pages will discuss first the four elements of a valid contract and then move into a discussion of the objective theory of contracts.

PepsiCo case will lead into an explanation of why advertisements are not generally considered to be offers. In conclusion a
I would seek legal advice from an attorney regarding the contract that Marshall had my son, which was a minor, to sign is legally binding. Once I ascertain that it is in fact a voidable contract, I would discontinue doing business with him. Marshall Peterson has been frequently making late payments and I haven’t been charging him any late fees or interest, even though my invoices state that I reserve to right to do so. He knew that I was unaware that he had my son sign a contract that grantees that I continue to supply him with all the product he needs, when he needs it, and at the prices he had always paid per the requirements of the contract between my businesses and in accordance with an implied duty of good faith and fair dealings that had evolved based on my ongoing business relationship with him. He assumed that I would be legally bound to honor the contract. My son was a minor at the time that he signed the contract and is only a part-time delivery man for the company. Furthermore, he has no legal rights or authority to enter contracts on behalf of my company. The terms of the contract is not certain for a court to enforce it. Additionally, in order to be bound by a contract a person must have the legal ability to form a contract in the first place. My son was only 17 years old and not of legal age to sign a non-void contract. According to Mark Glover, a contact entered by a minor maybe cancelled by the minor or his guardian within a
