Dishonesty In Business Law

Mary McDonald, an 86-year-old woman, was frequently complaining about the high cost of maintenance of her house and high property taxes. She decided to cancel her fire insurance to reduce expenses. Mary’s daughter was aware of her mother’s concern about the property, and she took Mary to the lawyer’s office to sign some papers that would protect her mother. When Mary came to the lawyer’s office, she was advised that the paper she was going to sign was the deed to the property. Mary signed a document. Later on, when the municipal tax bill arrived, Mary McDonald was really surprised to see that the property was in her daughter’s name.

40. Principle of Law: In this case, Esposito hired Excel Construction Company to repair a porch roof. All terms of the agreement were specified in a written contract. And the dispute occurred when Excel had repaired the rear porch roof because in the agreement failed to specify whether it was the front or rear porch that needed repair. Under civil law, two parties here had signed a civil contract in writing. Because the contract failed to specify clearly front or rear porch roof, Excel completed its obligation and didn’t break the contract.

Consumers use a variety of products on a daily basis to assist them in accomplishing a task or completing a project and they expect the product to be properly designed and safe to use. However, in the event that a product is defective and causes injury to the person using it, the manufacturer may be liable for the injury and have to compensate the injured person (s). Companies that manufacture products need to be sure they are doing all within their power to assemble products that are free of defects that could accidentally cause harm and cost the company. Product liability is the

In light of all the facts based upon the law relating to nondisclosure agreements (NDA’s), a court most likely would rule in favor of Greene's Jewelry. This ruling comes from the matters of breaking legal contracts. NDA’s are legal binding contracts. Ms. Jennifer Lawson breached the confidentiality agreement/contract, that she was required to sign upon working for Greene's, when she took secret information to multiple competing jewelers. The agreement was a valid bi­lateral contract which was expressed in writing. To qualify as a contract, a set of promises must be based on a voluntary agreement, which is made up of an offer and an acceptance of that offer. Any court will need to know the terms each

In regards to this case study where a hotel manager orders 1,000 dollars’ worth of sheets from a sales representative of a linen company and a dispute arises between them. Can the Statute of Frauds provide a defense to the Lawsuit by the hotel? I believe that it can based on the statue for goods (The Statute of Frauds and Contract Law.) They signed the memo and faxed it over to the linen company, as long as the dispute didn’t happen before ten days then the linen company is bound to the contract. Statute of frauds states that it is a binding contract if the buyer or purchaser of the goods signs the memo and gives it to the seller and the cost or amount is over 500.00 (The Statute of Frauds and Contract Law.) The case study says that the manager

In past decade, one of the major issues that law enforcement agencies have struggled with is the effect of officer dishonesty on his/her ability to act as a witness in court proceedings. This is largely because the dishonest officers are normally subject to impeachment of their credibility by their previous conduct of dishonesty. Therefore, law enforcement agencies have an evolving responsibility to disclose information to prosecutors regarding the dishonesty of the officer before he/she testifies against a defendant in a criminal case. On the other hand, the prosecutor must then determine whether the information is necessary to be disclosed to the defendant. This is crucial because failure to reveal the exculpatory information may result in the failure of criminal prosecutions and liability for law enforcement officers and agencies.
