A customer drove into the station and asked him to pump leaded gasoline into her 1976 Chevrolet, an automobile equipped to receive only unleaded gasoline.

The store was located in an area that served low-income consumers, many of whom had low-paying jobs and had no bank or charge accounts. About 85 percent of the store’s sales were made on credit. The store advertised eyeglasses “from $7.50 complete,” including “lenses, frames and case.” Tashof advertised this sale extensively on radio and in newspapers. Evidence showed that of the 1,400 pairs of eyeglasses sold by the store, fewer than 10 were sold for $7.50; the rest were more expensive glasses.

- Columbia University brought suit against Jacobsen on two notes signed by him and his parents. The notes represented the balance of tuition he owed the University. Jacobsen counterclaimed for money damages due to Columbia’s deceit or fraudulent misrepresentation. Jacobsen argues that Columbia fraudulently misrepresented that it would teach wisdom, truth, character, enlightenment, and similar virtues and qualities. He specifically cites as support the Columbia motto: “in lumine tuo videbimus lumen” (“In your light we shall see light”); the inscription over the college chapel: “Wisdom dwelleth in the heart of him that hath understanding”; and various excerpts from its brochures, catalogues, and a convocation address made by the University’s president. Jacobsen, a senior who was not graduated because of poor scholastic standing, claims that the University’s failure to meet its promises made through these quotations constituted fraudulent misrepresentation or deceit.

He alleged that REMC furnished electricity in excess of 135 volts to Helvey’s home, damaging his 110-volt household appliances. This incident occurred more than four years before Helvey brought this suit. In defense, REMC pleads that the Uniform Commercial Code’s (UCC’s) Article 2 statute of limitations of four years has passed, thereby barring Helvey’s suit. Helvey argues that providing electrical energy is not a transaction in goods under the UCC but rather a furnishing of services that would make applicable the general contract six-year statute of limitations.

- Upton is a used car salesman in Athens, Georgia. He often tries to scam (defraud, cheat, bilk, fool, etc.) his customers while he acts as an agent on behalf of his boss, Klaus. As part of Upton's agency duty, he is explicitly instructed by Klaus to deliver one of the cars currently on their sales lot in Athens to one of their other locations in Inglewood, California, on Klaus's behalf. The trip is a little over 2000 miles long and will take several days of driving to complete. Upton understands that the assignment is time-sensitive and must be completed within the current week. Despite this knowledge, he proceeds to go several hundred miles off his instructed route and make a pit stop in Boulder, Colorado. While there, he parties for two whole days and goes on a drunken rampage, destroying dozens of mailboxes in a quiet residential neighborhood with the very car he was told to deliver.

The restaurant closes at 11:00 p.m. Two patrons came in at 10:30 p.m. and stayed until 12:00 a.m. Carl was their waiter and gave excellent customer service. The patrons left a $5.00 tip for Carl on a $200.00 bill and left a note saying, “Go back to school if you want more money.” Carl was so upset that he went home and posted on Facebook about how cheap, stinky, and ugly the patrons were. Carl mentioned the restaurant's name in his post. Carl had only 20 Facebook friends, and his privacy settings only allowed friends to see his posts. One of Carl's coworkers saw the post and told the restaurant manager. The restaurant manager terminated Carl based on violating two company policies: 1.

In 1984, he purchased a 25-hectares farm near Batlow, which is considered the premium apple growing region in Australia. The purchase price for the farm was $700,000. Peter borrowed the funds to purchase the farm. At the time of purchase the farm was used to grow apples and Peter continued to grow apples on the farm, employing a full-time manager for this purpose.As a result of the Black Summer bushfires in 2019/2020 however, most of the apple trees and packing sheds on Peter’s farm were destroyed.

Instead, he decided to grow hazelnuts and cherries because he believed these would provide a higher yield than apples given current market prices.In late 2021, Peter arranged with his farm manager to oversee the removal of all remaining and burned-out apple trees on the farm and to prepare the soil to make it suitable for planting 200 cherry trees and 100 hazelnut trees.
