Chapter 14 problem 2
Real property: Robert Briggs v. Winfield and Emma Sackett
Statute of Frauds and Equitable Exceptions is a rule enforced by many states concerning certain contracts. The states statutes are virtually uniform in that they require contracts involving interest in land, one year plus, considerations in marriage, more than one year contracts and many other contracts to be in writing. Common sense tells us that any contract that is very important should be in writing. This is important because in case of any breaches in a contract, then there is solid evidence to help in dealing with the issue at hand (Tepper, …show more content…

v. Avon Products, Inc.
Remedies for Breach of Traditional and E-Contracts are many including Specific performance. This is a remedy to breach of a contract that orders a party to perform the acts promised in the contract, it is usually awarded in cases involving unique subject matters like land, sales, paintings and heirlooms. Therefore, specific performance is a good remedy for the case on contract between Liz Claiborne and Avon products (Cheeseman, 2004).
When the two companies formed the merge, the profits recorded were very high and therefore when Avon breaches the contract, Claiborne will suffer economically. Money alone cannot resolve the issue and thus, an order for Avon to perform the contractual duties as originally agreed is most effective. The underlying contact between the two was equitable and fair thus specific performance is enforceable. Moreover, the agreed performance of the contract has been substantially performed and the concurrent future performance is assured thus specific performance is most appropriate (Cheeseman, 2004).

Farrar Produce Company v. International Paper Company
There are many remedies for Breach of Sales and Lease Contracts inclusive of this is revocation of acceptance. Revocation follows acceptance of goods and prevents the initial acceptance by the buyer from binding the buyer to the contract. Revocation is done by the buyer when the goods are nonconforming like the tomato boxes in the case study (Miller & Cross, 2013).
Farrar wins the case because, it is allowed by the UCC to revoke a contract when the nonconformity of the products substantially impairs the value of the company after accepting the boxes. Moreover, the Company was not aware of the nonconformity of the products they purchased due to difficulty of discovery before accepting the boxes. Lastly, the revocation was done within a reasonable time since they had not used all the boxes. Due to the revoking acceptance law, Farrar wins the case against the International Paper Company (Miller & Cross,

To determine if a particular provision is for liquidated damages or for a penalty, a court must answer two questions: 1.) When the contract was entered into, was it apparent that damages would be difficult to estimate in the event of a breach? 2.) Was the amount set as damages a reasonable estimate and excessive (Clarkson, Miller, Cross, p. 354,

The court cases Goldberg and Wheeler do not stand for the proposition that only welfare benefits for people in extreme circumstances are entitled to pre-termination hearings. However, this is one situation where cutting off benefits with little or no notice could affect the well-being of the family or person. Any programs that offer they type of assistance people rely on to survive could benefit from pre-termination hearings, not just the welfare program. Welfare is one of the main public assistance programs, although I think housing assistance and food stamps might fall into the welfare category, they are also in need of a pre-termination hearing. In the Goldberg and Wheeler cases, California and New York did not want to give anyone a hearing

C. Precedent The law is unconstitutional not only due to the meaning of the text itself, but also from many cases of precedent. District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) and McDonald v. City of Chicago, 130 S. Ct. 3020 (2010) have already established the importance of the Second Amendment, but there are other cases as well that back up the courts decision claiming the ban on carrying a concealed weapon is unconstitutional. In Bliss v. Commonwealth, 2 Litt. 90, (KY 1822), established that the right to bear arms was for defense against themselves and the state. This case consisted of a man carrying a concealed weapon in his cane and it is similar to the one in which we face today.

The court adopted the buyer’s argument in part, holding that although sophisticated business parties have the freedom to contract out of a claim of rescission for unintentional contractual misrepresentations within a contract, “when a seller intentionally misrepresents a fact embodied in a contract—that is, when a seller lies—public policy will not permit a contractual provision to limit the remedy of the buyer to a capped damage claim. Rather, the buyer is free to press a claim for rescission or for full compensatory damages. ”111 So the ABRY case held that in acquisition agreements with exclusive remedy provisions, (1) a seller who makes a representation cannot limit its own liability when that seller intentionally misrepresents a fact, or “lies”, and (2) a seller not making the offending representation will be liable when that seller “knew that the Company’s contractual representations and warranties were

In Turner v. Safley (1987), the Supreme Court ruled in favor of restricting prisoners Constitutional rights. According to the ruling, the restriction of rights is Constitution if “reasonably related to legitimate penological [i.e. safety] interests.” Jeffs communicates sermons and regulations from prison, and limiting the community between Jeffs and the hierarchy of Short Creek attempts to severe ties between Jeffs and the FLDS. Satinder Singh, an ACLU attorney, said “…prisoners can limit communication, including mail and visits….However, the prison can’t suppress Jeffs free speech rights just because it doesn’t like what he has to say (Singh).” While Jeffs ideologies continue to dictate the infrastructure of Short Creek, minimizing communication enhances the chances of stopping the theocratic rule in Short Creek.

Overview of Clements v. State The case of Clements v. State is an example of how the legal framework of stalking laws in Texas should be interpreted and the effectiveness of this law to ensure justice for the victims. The case depicts how the law should operate despite certain vagueness in aspects of the First Amendment. The decision of the Court of Appeals for the First District of Texas to uphold the conviction while disagreeing with some conclusions arrived at by the trial court proves that stalkers will not be allowed to slide through cracks in the legal system. The case, based on a sequence of events where the complainant, Jennifer Clements, was subject to psychological trauma accompanied by an imminent physical threat to her from Nathan Clement, her estranged husband, is a forthright condition of stalking which complies with the Statues of

In 1945, the High Court of Australia heard the case of Gratwick v Johnson and ultimately decided to dismiss the appeal in a unanimous decision by the Judges. While different reasoning was employed, all five judges drew the conclusion that the appeal should be dismissed as the statute the defendant was charged under was inconsistent with s.92 of the Australian Constitution. To provide some context for this case in 1944, Dulcie Johnson was charged with an offence against the National Security Act 1939-1943 in that she did contravene par.3 of the Restriction of Interstate Passenger Transport Order by travelling from South Australia to Western Australia by rail. In brief terms par.3 of the Restriction of Interstate Passenger Transport Order provided that no person shall, without a valid permit, travel from state to state or territory.

1. In my opinion, I do not think that prosecutors should use be able to use their power to threating individuals to take the plea barging. If an individual know that they have not committed a crime and is guilty, then the person should not agree to the plea. I believe by agreeing to the plea is like saying you have committed the crime.
