This is not provided for in the stated rules a regulation as to who qualifies to park cars in the car park space. It is rather an implied contract that requires the employer to ensure the safety of the employee’s property. If one was to argue the case from such a stand point, then it is likely that the university needs to compensate Dabir for the loss. This would however, be on the basis of law of tor, under negligence. Dabir has suffered a loss or injury by losing his car to the thief who stole it from the car park. This is as a result of the negligence of the security at the car park. It the duty of these security personnel to ensure that the people driving cars from the car park are the rightful owners of the cars and should not at any times assume that the cars are being driven by their true owners. This is negligence as their work is to ensure the security of the cars at the car park irrespective of the warning given to the owners of the car. Unless the situation is not in their ability to handle and prevent they should be held liable for the loss of this car and should a remedy should be put in place to ensure that Dabir is compensated for his injury (Davies …show more content…
To start with under the law of contract he purchased the book after enquiring about the latest edition. The attendant who sold her the book gave her false information and as such it can be assumed that when she got into the contract she had the wrong information. This implies that there was a breach of the contract. For a contract to occur it is necessary that the offer contains information that is accurate and up to date. Having information that is not accurate implies she got into the contract with information that does not pertain to the contract she was entering. As such there was misrepresentation of facts in the case, which makes it possible for her to demand a remedy for the misrepresentation of facts in her case (Lunney & Oliphant 2013). If she knew the true nature of the two books she would have purchased the James Roll book, but since she did not have the information that was correct she ended up purchasing the wrong book. This means the book attendant breached the contract by misrepresentation the true facts about the book. As such it is possible for her to sue the attendant and get a remedy for the misrepresentation. This is because she observed her side of the bargain in all ways possible and did not breach the contract as far as her side is concerned. Ion the other hand, the attendant gave her the wrong impression, which led to her purchasing the wrong book (Davies 2010). Had she been given the

    In this case study, we are looking into what constitutes a contract and when a person is obligated to honor a contract. In this scenario Carrie offered to sell a set of legal encyclopedias to Antonio for $300.00. Antonio said that he would think about her offer and let her know his decision the next day.

    As in the case of Acosta v. Southern California Rapid Transit District 2 Cal.3d 19, 84 Cal. Rptr. 184 (1970), the plaintiff walked through a half-filled bus to find a seat as she did this, the light changed and the bus started behind another vehicle approximately 40 feet behind it. The driver knew that on the next block there contained a mid-block crosswalk for pedestrians and as he approached the crosswalk he noticed several young boys crossing so he placed his foot on the brake and let the bus coast for about 15 – 20 miles per hour. He abruptly placed the foot on the break when the car in front of him came to a sudden halt in order to avoid hitting the boys going through the crosswalk. In that sudden stop, the plaintiff and two other women were thrown forward in the bus and fell over the coin box and onto the floor placing plaintiff at the bottom. The court in this case favored the plaintiff due to the issue that the bus being a common carrier needed to have the utmost duty of care towards its passenger’s and the court had acknowledged that with the evidence given the driver of the bus had not used the utmost duty of care towards his passenger’s since the driver had knowledge of his daily route and he should have taken more precautions when he saw plaintiff standing, knowing very well the traffic was not a steady flow. As in the case of Acosta, you, the bus company, are held responsible for carrying for your passenger’s. Nicholas the driver did not have the utmost duty of care when driving before Ms. Schultz was seated, nor did he consider her age when he decided to proceed driving prior to her being safely secure in a seat. Ms. Schultz being a frequent bus rider, I’m sure encountered Nicholas the bus…

    12.3 Larry offered to sell Stanley his car and told Stanley that the car had been driven only 25,000 miles and had never been in an accident. Stanley hired Cohen, a mechanic, to appraise the condition of the car, and Cohen said that the car probably had at least 50,000 miles on it and probably had been in an accident.

    College is a place where students go to get a degree in the field they want to fulfill their dreams. Since school is a positive environment students, shouldn’t get frustrated finding a parking space. Nevertheless, with new students attending college every year, we need to expand our parking area and add more lighting for the students and for the faculty. The problem is that there is not adequate parking for everyone and students will speed through the parking lot, which causes accidents.

    Quinly and her husband, customers at Greenway Supermarkets, purchased several pounds of filet mignon and checked out their purchases at the newly installed self-scanners. The price listed on the package of meat totaled $38; however, when Quinly swiped the packages through the self-scanner, it indicated a price of only $6. Quinly believed that she should inform the management at the supermarket that the computer in the self-scanner had been incorrectly programmed with respect to the price of this product. However, Quinly’s husband argued that since the store would be legally obligated to charge the lower price, it was not necessary to call attention to the error.

    Essay on St. Louis

    • 632 Words
    • 3 Pages

    One way for the administration of St. Louis to improve the students’ lives is through the creation of free, on campus parking. Early mornings are tough enough on students and finding a parking spot during early-morning-rush-hour shouldn’t be the hassle that it is. Currently, students who drive have four options; to park on campus and risk the parking ticket expense, or to park on the surrounding streets and move their car every two hours to avoid a parking ticket, or to pay to park in neighbouring streets’ parking garages, or to park in the neighbouring establishments’ lots, thus risking a parking ticket and enduring a long walk back to St. Louis. It can be determined that none of these four parking methods are cost or time efficient, because all four methods could leave you with a parking ticket or parking expense, and three of the four methods of parking require a ten to fifteen minute walk back to St. Louis campus. If the administration of St. Louis creates free, on campus parking, both students and faculty can enjoy less traffic congestion surrounding the school and a less stressful, costly, and time consuming decision of where to park.…
