Db3: Review the news headline regarding exploding air bags
and why legal personnel are saying this recall is different than most. Based on
the news headline, outline and explain two (2) other types of torts a business
may be liable for and explain why. (Do not use the video example as one of your
own suggestions.) Then, explore some of the steps a company may take to avoid
liability for the torts you discussed. Be sure to provide legal support for
your analysis.
Db4:
Thinking back on the last few months, consider a time when
you encountered a friend or business associate who promised or agreed to do
something but did not follow through. For example, did someone agree to sell
you something but at the last minute changed the price? Or did someone agree to
perform a service, but then later said he or she was too busy?
Relate the facts of your example. Then, based on the
materials in the reading and lecture, explain why the facts you presented did
or did not meet the legal requirements for a contract. Be sure to support your
response.
DB5:Imagine you represent a person who claims to have been
the victim of a breach of contract. Determine the information that you would
need to know to best determine if there was a contract. How would you present a
case to a court to show your client was the victim of a breach of contract, and
how would you overcome the defenses to the alleged breach? Be sure to use legal
terms and concepts from the reading to support your
analysis.https://youtu.be/HPYz2IzIii0

DB6:As a small-business owner, you are faced with rising
costs, particularly employment costs, insurance, et cetera. So, you decide to
hire some friends and pay them as they work, rather than go through the expense
and procedure of bringing in “actual” employees. Your friends wear the business
uniform, deal with vendors and customers, and tell friends and family that they
work for the business. One friend / employee orders way too much from a vendor.
The vendor has dealt with the person numerous times; in fact, the person has
been ordering from the vendor for months.
o Since the
person who ordered was not an ”employee,” but a friend you hired, are you
liable to pay for the improper order?
o Discuss
the implications of agency that apply in this situation, and describe at least
one (1) way the company may be able to cancel or return the order in question.
o Be sure
to support your legal analysis with concepts and definitions from the reading.
