The company’s core business was transporting copper from the mines in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) to Southern Rhodesia for onward transmission to overseas markets in Europe. This arrangement worked smoothly until 1965. On 11th November 1965, the white settlers in Southern Rhodesia, who were principally of British origin, unilaterally declared political independence from Britain. Most countries roundly condemned the action by the white settlers because not only were the white settlers a minority but the independence that had been declared was perceived to be for the whites and not the African black majority. To the African majority, the declaration of independence by the white settles was merely a transfer of colonial power from Britain to the local white settlers and was therefore considered by Africans and their sympathisers to be slap in the face of…arrow_forwardDetermine the legality of the transaction.

- Indian Coffee Company, a coffee roaster in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, sold its Breakfast Cheer coffee in the Pittsburgh area, where it had an 18 percent market share, and in Cleveland, Ohio, where it had a significant, but smaller, market share. Late in 1971, Folger Coffee Company, then the leading seller of branded coffee west of the Mississippi, entered the Pittsburgh market for the first time. In its effort to gain market share in Pittsburgh, Folger granted retailers high promotional allowances in the form of coupons. Retail customers could use these coupons to obtain price cuts. Redeeming retailers could use the coupons as credits against invoices from Folger. For a time, Indian tried to retain its market share by matching Folger’s price concessions, but because Indian operated in only two areas, it could not subsidize such sales with profits from other areas. Indian, which finally was forced out of business in 1974, later filed a Robinson—Patman suit against Folger.

According to the Society, awarding engineering contracts to the lowest bidder, regardless of quality, would be dangerous to the public health, safety, and welfare. The Society emphasizes that the rule is not an agreement to fix prices. Rather, it claims the rule was drafted by experienced, highly trained professional engineers to prevent public harm and is therefore reasonable. Does the rule unreasonably restrain…arrow_forwardConsider Directors Jack is one of 4 directors of Electric Cars Ltd; the company imports green, environmentally friendly vehicles from a sole supplier Acheron Ltd in the UK.
