Fred and Frank have been operating a seasonal outdoor maintenance and landscaping business for the last three years under the name F & F Maintenance. There was no written partnership agreement. During the nonoperational winter months, Fred spends his time in Costa Rica, while Frank stays in town. In January, Frank was approached by an existing customer with a request that F & F build and install a bleacher stadium and football field for the local middle school. Frank advised the customer that, while he had no direct experience with this type of project, he was sure that he could subcontract any work that was needed.

At the inspection, the inspector determined…

One of several motorized barges being used to carry construction material for the project ran aground on a reef near the bridge as it approached a temporary harbor being used as a depot during low tide. The grounded vessel damaged part of the reef and ruptured the internal fuel tank, causing an oil slick. All nearby maritime traffic had to be halted for several hours as an emergency clean-up crew arrived to control the oil spill and clean the water. Following this, the barge was re-floated approximately 13 hours after grounding and to a dry dock for extensive repairs. A replacement barge had to be brought in on short notice to minimize the additional strain on logistics. Early inquiries have shown that while the crew was experienced, the helmsman was not a local and was unfamiliar with the waters. Additionally, the depot harbor only had one of the two lights making the entrance operational at the time, despite regulations, and the project’s standards both specifying both were always…

Stephen began working for a retail distributor in Mandeville two weeks ago. As a Seventh-Day Adventist, his religious beliefs do not allow him to work on Saturdays, a fact which he made very clear to his employers during his interview. Stephen hopes to attend church this Saturday, but was told by his manager that he needed to show up for work instead, as Christmas was “just around the corner.” His manager advised him that everyone needed to come out and that he would be making no exceptions, as Christmas was the busiest time of the year for the company. His employer further warned him that failure to report for duty on Saturday would lead to his immediate dismissal. Stephen was left in a dilemma. On one hand, he could not afford to lose his new job, particularly as he had been unemployed for the last two years. On the other hand, he was upset by his manager’s demands and threats, and felt discriminated against. A co-worker encouraged him to file a complaint with the company, claiming…
