Hunn injured herself when she slipped and fell on a loose plank while walking down some steps. The night before, while entering the hotel, she had noticed that the steps were dangerous, and although she knew from her earlier stays at the hotel that another exit was available, she chose that morning to leave via the dangerous steps. The hotel was aware of the hazard, as one of the other guests who had fallen that night had reported his accident to the desk clerk then on duty. Still, the hotel did not place cautionary signs on the steps to warn of the danger, and they were not roped off or otherwise excluded from use. Hunn brought an action against the hotel for injuries she sustained as a result of her fall. Should she recover? Explain.

- Daniel Hudson, the general counsel of eHarbour, has received a letter from a dissatisfied eHarbour user. The user downloaded the eHarbour app to his phone and used the navigation software to compete in a local regatta. The user claims that the app stopped working during the regatta when he was leading the race and that he ended up placing fourth rather than winning the regatta. An internal investigation shows that the software indeed had a temporary service outage on the day of the race for approximately 10 minutes for selected users.

- A digital watch bought from TPPL had a short circuit while the customer was doing work under the sun. This resulted in minor burns and injury to the customer's wrist. The customer sued the company for $10,000 as compensation. As at 31 December 20X1, TPPL's lawyer believed that it would be more than likely that the company would lose the court case against the customer. As the short circuit was very likely due to a manufacturing defect, TPPL also made a corresponding claim against the manufacturer of the digital watch for $8,000. The company's lawyer believed that there would be a 70% chance that the counter claim against the manufacturer was likely to succeed. Explain and discuss how TPPL should treat these two legal claims in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 20X1 under the applicable SFRSs.arrow_forwardPlease dont copy past other answers from other websites.
