The Case Of Mr. Stevens

The case study of The Thompson family presented in Chapter 10 of our textbook, “Essentials of Human Behavior” delivers a scenario that many individuals longing to become parents are faced with in life. As the wife of a retired military Staff Sergeant, this case study is a reminder of my experience of my husband’s two deployments to Iraq. The Life course perspective gives an outline of how people’s lives are shaped by different life events that we have abso1utely no control over and the also the challenges associated with managing the stressors of life. In this case study I will analyze the challenges that Will and Felicia Thompson are faced with in their transition of parenthood.

“I wished that I were the owner of every Southern slave,” Thaddeus Stevens once wrote, “that I might cast off the shackles from their limbs.” Stevens, known as “The Old Commoner,” was a famed abolitionist and Congressman who advocated not only for an end to slavery, but also for equality between races. In pursuance of these ends, Stevens served an instrumental role in drafting the 14th Amendment, helped form much of Reconstruction, and led the effort to impeach President Andrew Johnson.

There are various elements that should be present to prove a valid contract exists between Sam and the chain store. There are four elements of a contract and they consist of an offer and agreement, consideration, contractual capacity, legal subject matter, and no valid defenses (Kubasek, 2015). The first element agreement would be considered to exist if: the safety chain store (offerer) made an offer to Sam (offeree) with actual intent to be bound to an agreement, definite terms were agreed on, and if communication occurred between Sam and the chain store. The second element of consideration would be deemed to exist if the chain store discussed the type of payment Sam would have received for delivering 1,000 units of his new invention. Consideration,

There are six elements that constitutes a valid contract. A contract can be formal or informal depending on the outcome that Mrs. Smithson is looking for. The four elements of a valid contract are offer, acceptance, consideration, and capacity. An offer or a promise is considered to be an agreement, if there is no offer then there cannot be a contract. Offer is there to make sure that the contract is legally binding or acceptable. If an offer is accepted then it is considered to be legally valid contract. The contract is made when there is acceptance from the other person or party. If, however the parties are still in negotiation then there is no contract because it can only be formed when there is an agreement between the two parties. The

The third element of a contract, which is contractual capacity would be deemed to exist if both Sam and the chain store had initially established a contract and both parties understanding its terms and their individual obligations agree. Seeing as the chain store failed to provide a concrete, physical contract Sam’s contractual capacity regarding the case was alarmingly minimal. Sam is mentally capable of complying with any contractual terms stated, unfortunately there were no terms established nor a contract brought forth so his rights and obligations regarding the situation are unclear. If a contract with Sam and the chain store was established then it would be appropriate to assume that both parties were legally capable of understanding

Humanity progresses through trial and error. Whenever an idea is conceived, we look back on either our life or those who are thought to have a similar experience in order to make a final judgement on which action to take. This is how the process has gone for thousands of years; but in the end we all endure some kind of failure. We often look back and realize how obvious of a bad choice it was, and in the end we chalk it up to another lesson learned. However, there are some of us who think a bit more before we speak in order to avoid failure and disappointment, but how far will that tactic take us? In Kazuo Ishiguro’s, The Remains of the Day, protagonist Mr. Stevens constantly goes out of his way to avoid failure. In his eyes, the house is relative

A contract is characterized by five vital elements to be considered as a contract. If any article is missing, the contract will not be lawfully viable. These are discussed below.

According to the Dynamic Business Law eBook; the four elements to a contract are Agreement, Consideration, Capacity and legality. The first element of Agreement would be deemed to exist if an offer is made and accepted creating a mutual agreement between the parties. An offer establishes criteria set by the “offeror”, usually referred as terms and conditions to another party, the “offeree” this is the first step in creating a contract. The second element of Consideration would be deemed to exist if “something” is negotiated by the promisor from the promise in return for signing or agreeing to the terms of the contract. The third element of Capacity would be deemed to exist if the parties are in sound mind and body, and over the age of consent. The fourth element of legality would be deemed to exist if they have a legal object, meaning the parties purpose of entering into a contract should be legal and follow the state and/or federal laws. (Kubasek, 2015, p. 305)

The result of this case will depend upon the existence and completeness of a contract between Johnny and Sally. A legal contract should contain essential elements including a definite, clearly stated offer; an acceptance of the offer; an outline of tasks to be performed; a defined payment or promise of value; a time period or duration for all parties to meet commitments; and terms and conditions for the performance of the tasks (Dasarathy, 2018).

Essential criteria must be present in order for a consumer contract to be legally binding by law, a process of offer, acceptance, consideration, and intention to create legal relations must be satisfied. Offer involves the buyer making an identifiable offer to a seller for goods or services, once the seller accepts the offer, acceptance has

A contract is an agreement that can be enforced in court and is formed by two or more parties who agree to perform or to refrain from performing some act now or in the future (Miller, Cross, and Jentz 289). In other words, it is a set of legal promises between two or more people or businesses. Contract law includes the elements of a contract, genuineness of assent, fraud, duty to disclose, disaffirmance and good faith. In order for a contract to be valid, there are essential elements that it

To advise Tom on his contractual rights, it must be determined if a contract exists. The essential elements of a contract are intention, agreement and consideration. Other vital elements are legal capacity, genuine consent and legality of purpose.

To begin with, we will evaluate if the recommendations we have in our hands constitute an offer. We also need to ensure that there must be a valid contract involved in order to be considered as enforceable. According to the textbook, (Cheeseman, 12/2013, p. 176), a “valid contract” must meet 4 essential elements in order to establish and maintain valid. The four essential elements are the following:

In the case of Carlill v. Carbolic Smoke Balls Co , it was sufficient consideration that Mrs. Carlill suffered the detriment from using the smoke ball as directed even if the company received no benefit. From this case, it is established that once there is a qualifying condition for a promise, the promisee’s satisfaction of the promise would be considered good consideration if the condition was requested as price for the promise.

To determine the binding nature of this contract, we need to examine four elements, namely: Agreement, Certainty, Consideration and Intention to Create a Legal Relations.
