QUESTION ONE
Joe is a restauranteur who runs the iconic Melbourne restaurant Cin Cin. Joe was interested in
purchasing an old unrenovated property in Fitzroy, which is an historic suburb of Melbourne with
many heritage buildings. He spent many months inspecting properties before locating a property on
Drummond Terrace that met his needs. Prior to making an offer, he called Fitzroy Council ('FC') to
request information about whether the Drummond Terrace property was subject to overland water
flow or termites. (Termite infestations can cause enormous damage to wooden structures.) Pat, an
employee of FC took the call and informed Joe that all properties in Drummond Terrace were free
from overland water flow and termites. It was Friday afternoon and Pat was in a hurry to get home,
so she had not bothered to query the Council's database for the correct information.
As a result of this information provided by FC, Joe purchased the Drummond Terrace property for
$1.8 million. Soon after moving…

One of the major threats to Bombers business is the existence of several competitors. These competitors all target the same market segment, young and busy Ghanaians that are seeking easy and ready-cooked fast food. However, this segment continues to reduce owing to the emergence of health concerns as studies show that fast foods are the main causes of obesity and other health complications. Another threat facing Bombers is a change in the lifestyles of consumers. As studies show, an increasing number of consumers are opting for healthy lifestyles. These lifestyle changes require them to reduce or eliminate fast foods from their diets and opt for alternative foods with low fats. As a result, consumers are opting to take their meals in restaurants; thus providing new food choices rather than visiting Bombers, which has a long history of having few healthy meals on its menus.
