Zoom Car Company is being sued on part of Daniel Boone for them to pay for his medical expenses resulting from being dragged from his car and being beaten.

The defendant’s argument is they shouldn’t be responsible for Daniel Boone’s incident because Corrigan Rulers were the ones who manufactured the compass and they should be held responsible for the cost of medical bills and for any other damages. Zoom Car Company believes it is a superseding event, “the defendant isn’t liable for injuries caused by such events for which he or she is not responsible” (108). Which would mean the company can only be held responsible for the faulty compass that was installed in the car not the actions that took place after the fact of where he ended up. It is also possible that Daniel didn’t know how to use the compass, which would result in him being held accountable under these circumstances. Nothing is certain on who is responsible for the compass to not work effectively. If there is sufficient proof of the compass not working when the car was purchased it will put them at fault. But if the plaintiff, Daniel Boone, somehow broke the compass after the purchase of the car then he could be held responsible for his actions and would therefore have to pay for his medical bills. “ For a seller to be held strictly liable, the product it sells must reach the consumer or user “without substantial change” in its condition (129).” If the company, Corrigan Rulers, can somehow prove that the compass was in perfect condition when delivered to Zoom Car Company they will no longer be held responsible for the medical bills.

Another problem adopting Roomis is that their ally in US Natex is unreliable as there were often delays and is not very efficient in carrying out the operation. Not being able to supply goods on time affects the goodwill relationship which the company has with its customers which can cause the company its market share. Once the company loses its market share then it will be difficult to regain it back. Also company policy of maintaining low inventory levels to free up capital would require a very efficient supply chain system to maintain the production process flow. So Roomis needs to revamp itself in terms of service levels to meet customer expectation and RMM has to figure out a way to do so.

On March 1, 2005, I went to the 3rd District Matheson Court House in the down town area and sat in on a few small claims court cases.
