Re-write (salvage) the essay in a style and format that is appropriate for a legal document. You can assume that the cases cited are at least appropriate for the propositions that they purport to support and you need not find new cases. However, confirming that the appropriate statutes or sections of those cases are cited is important. If necessary, you should find the appropriate statute to cite and cite it.

Here we go...:

This story is replete with fascinating facts and the intricacies that are inherent in the facts of the case make for a great story. The baseball bat was broken from the outset when it was bought by the plaintiff. Therefore, the defendant should have to return the baseball bat and pay the money back to the plaintiff that plaintiff paid for said bat. The plaintiff bought a baseball bat from the defendant and the baseball bat turned out to be broken since as soon as the defendant used the bat to play baseball, the bat shattered into a million pieces. Shattering into a million pieces certainly violates the implied warranty of merchantability under the Uniform Commercial Code (“U.C.C.”). INDUSTRIA DE CALCADOS MARTINI LTDA. v. MAXWELL SHOE CO., INC. No. 92-P-1322 APPEALS COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS 36 Mass. App. Ct. 268; 630 N.E.2d 299; 1994 Mass. App. LEXIS 274; 23 U.C.C. Rep. Serv. 2d (Callaghan) 89 December 20, 1993, Argued March 21, 1994, Decided. Also, there’s a case that expounded upon this issue and told us that a baseball bat can’t crack when it’s used normally. Otherwise, the store has to give back the money to the plaintiff. Laurence Dudzik et al., Plaintiffs, v. Klein's All Sports, Defendant. SC# 92-390 JUSTICE COURT OF NEW YORK, TOWN OF COLONIE, ALBANY COUNTY 158 Misc. 2d 72; 600 N.Y.S.2d 1013; 1993 N.Y. Misc. LEXIS 272; 21 U.C.C. Rep. Serv. 2d (Callaghan) 592 June 9, 1993, Decided.

The extrapolation that can be clearly drawn from these cases is that is a plaintiff buys a baseball bat, the said bat must be in that condition that was

    The plaintiffs, Carol and Gary allege that on September 13, 1998, Carol Allen was injured while participating in a recreational softball game, while she was running to first base. She was hit in the head by the shortstop of the opposing team. This game was an adult and slow pitch softball tournament. The teams that were playing in this tournament were part of the Dover Co-Recreational Softball League, (league) and were sponsored by the Amateur Softball Association Inc. (ASA). The games were played on a softball field that was owned by defendant Martel-Roberge American Legion Post #47 (American Legion). The teams were sponsored by defendant Daniel’s Sports Bar and Grill (Daniel’s) and defendant Thompson Imports (Thompson) who also provided t-shirts for the players. Defendant Bollinger Fowler Company (Bollinger) provided liability insurance for the league, ASA, the American Legion, the Daniel’s team and the Thompson team. The plaintiff was playing for the Daniel’s team, and was using a smaller softball made for women to be able to hit more competitively when playing with men, this was an official rule set forth by the ASA. The defendants did not recommend, require, or provide the use of helmets. The ASA official rules are that there be five men and five women for each team, this game consisted of seven men and three women on each team. When Carol Allen was batting for the first time, she hit a ball towards the shortstop. The male player for the Thompson team threw the ball toward first base in order to get the runner Carol Allen out, but instead the ball struck Carol in the head. This caused her cognitive deficiencies including impaired speech.…

    The City of Albany decided to upgrade a fleet of repair trucks in order to respond to pothole fixing. ACME manufactured a cab and chassis of a truck that was then sold to Keefer Motors. Keefer Motors sold the truck unchanged to the City of Albany. No discussion by ACME or Keefer Motors had taken place with the City as to what the city would do with the truck. Susan’s Truck Equipment was contracted by the city to add a dump bed and hoist and the truck was modified and redelivered to the City of Albany; the truck was accepted and put into immediate use. Sarah and Emma are city employees and Sarah was injured when Emma backed up the pothole truck over her. Sarah was seriously injured and is suing ACME, Keefer Motors and Susan’s Truck Equipment, arguing that the truck was defective and unreasonably dangerous because the defendants did not advise the City of Albany to install a back-up alarm and they failed to install a back-up alarm.…

    Consequently, under such circumstance, the Attorney General contended that manufactures if given the opportunity to rebut the repair presumption by showing that the four repair attempts were not reasonable for the defective vehicle and that additional repair opportunities after the fourth attempt failed which resulted in fixing the defect was a reasonable number of attempts. The Court agreed that the language “four or more times” clearly refers, that the consumers has allowed his vehicle to be subjected to more than four repair attempts and the vehicle is still defective. Therefore, the consumer is entitled under the New Car Lemon Law to a presumption of the reasonable number of repair attempts. New Car Lemon Law interpretation stated that the presumption can be rebutted or the manufacture can provide an affirmative defense. The Petitioner rebutted to the statue regarding the statutory language “four or more” and “but such nonconformity, defect or condition continues to exist”. According to the Court, the petitioner’s interpretation focuses on the entitlement of the consumer recovery under the New Car Lemon Law and the entitlement of a consumer to make a Lemon Law claim a presumption that can be rebutted. The statutory language “but… continues to exist” has nothing to do with the condition of the vehicle at the time of trial or arbitration. However, the statutory language refers to and modifies the number of repairs attempts a consumer is entitle for relief under the New Car Lemon Law. The Court, stated that the petitioners’ interpretation of repair presumption takes some of the guidelines of the statue because undermined the statue…

    However, he took no measures to secure the tools either by fastening a lock or relocating the toolbox to a less accessible location. His failure to protect the children from the potential harm arising from their use of the tools is a breach of his duty owed to the plaintiff.

    On November 6, 1996, Karl Cockrell went to a Walmart store with his parents. As he was leaving the store the loss-prevention officer for Walmart, Raymond Navarro, stopped him and asked him to follow him to the manager’s room. Once at the office the loss-prevention officer conducted a thorough search and even asked Karl Cockrell to take off a surgical bandage that he had on his abdomen. Even after Karl Cockrell’s explanation that the bandage covered a wound, the loss prevention officer still insisted on taking the bandage off. After the search when the officer didn’t find anything he let Karl Cockrell go. Later Karl Cockrell sued Walmart for false imprisonment. The trial court decided the case in favor of Karl Cockrell and awarded an amount of $300,000 for mental anguish. Walmart claimed that it had the “shopkeeper’s privilege” so it can’t be sued and the liability imposed on Walmart by the trial court is not justified. The court of appeals on both questions upheld the decision of the trial court.…
