1934 Words8 Pages

Case Study Two: Sam Stevens In the case of Sam Stevens, we need to investigate if there was enough evidence to conclude if a legal verbal contract was sat into place. There are elements of the contract that must be met before any contact is valid. According to Chapter 13 of Dynamic Business Law, the four elements of a contract are agreement, the consideration, contractual capacity and a legal object.

Therefore, this does qualify as a contract under the …show more content…

Next, is a consideration. The store manager agreed to accept the product, but there was no mention of what Mr. Stevens was going to receive in return. There was also no mention of when and where it was to be shipped. Therefore, this would keep this from being a legal contract if this was not stated when the contract was formed. Contractual capacity is a slight bit different and means that both parties must be within the legal age limit, sound mind and legally able make the binding contract. As far as we know, they are both in sound mind and able to commit to this agreement. Therefore, this would be legal if all other elements had been met. Finally, the element of a legal object would mean that the contract would not break any moral or legal laws. Since the manager wanted to exclusively sale this product as long as Mr. Stevens has no other contract this would be considered moral and would again be a binding element. Furthermore, if the consideration element had been established and the store manager and Sam had come to a compensation agreement, this would, in fact, be a legal contract. Although, if they were not in sound mind and of legal age then this would

Rachael Martinelli Case Study 8-2: The Outsourced Work 1. Is BE bound by the terms of the project labor agreement, which it did not directly sign, including the duty to submit this labor dispute to final and binding arbitration for resolution? I believe that Bolton Engineering (BE) should not always be bound to the terms of the project labor agreement, that they did not directly sign. Bolton Engineering should only be bound to these conditions if they are working onsite. They did not directly sign the with the labor union so they should only have to follow the labor union when they are working on the premises of Rocket Motor Corporation.

From the Constitution’s ratification in 1787 through the 1850s, many American historians shared the consensus that the founding fathers had designed the Constitution the way they did because they were trying to protect the citizens and their rights. James Kent was one very prominent historian among this group. In his book, Commentaries on American Law (1826), he stated “THE government of the United States was erected by the free voice and joint will of the people of America, for their common defence [defense] and general welfare...and it is justly deemed the guardian of our best rights, the source of our highest civil and political duties, and the sure means of national greatness.” (Kent) Essentially, James Kent was trying to convey the point
