Introduction

The law of contract is about the enforcement of promises where the basic law, governs and relates to most aspects of human life. Contracts provide the means for individuals and businesses to sell or transfer property, services and other rights. Although the law of contract is about the enforcement of promises but not all promises are enforced by courts and to enforce a set of promises, or an agreement, courts look for the presence of certain elements; In other words contract is generally defined as a promise, or a set of promises, actionable upon breach of the contract where to enforce these set of promises or agreements, courts look for the presence of certain elements and once these elements are present a court will consider that the agreement is a contract.

It is a demonstration of willingness to enter into a bargain, made so that another party is justified in

    This film was very interesting to watch. It made me realize how many frivolous lawsuits that have occurred. The Stella Liebeck case was huge example. Yes I understand she suffered third degree burns and had to be hospitalized for a week or so to recover but it could have possibly been prevented. The right thing to do would be to be careful when handling the cup of hot coffee. The cup itself says to be careful and why would anyone put a cup of hot coffee in between their legs especially being in the passenger seat where one could actually hold the cup in their hands which would have possibly prevented her from spilling hot coffee all over herself. The media won’t tell you that the actually cup itself melted from the hot coffee and therefore doesn’t give those who question this case a chance to see what really happened. This film seems to give a broad layout of what actually took place and why Stella Liebeck should be awarded for damages.…

    Employers can bear legal responsibility if they do not adequately monitor their employees. This is why sometimes extreme measures are taken to keep track of employee's computer usage. There is a case from New Jersey several years ago in which a company was held liable by an appellate court because an employee transmitted child pornography from his workplace computer. The court ruled this way because the employer had a policy which stated that all email messages sent from the workplace were the property of the employer, and not the employee, along with evidence which showed that company officials knew the employee was viewing pornography on his computer but did not take adequate steps to shut down such activities or investigate the extent of the employee's violations of company policy. This is a very chilling opinion for employers to digest.…
