While Roberts is the manager of Tyler's Sports Bar & Grill and is in charge of operation, both Roberts and Jones are general partners for the business. "Three rules for liability in a partnership are: 1) Every partner is liable for his or her own actions. 2) Every partner is liable for the actions of the other partners. 3) Every partner is liable for the actions of the employees of the business" (QuickMBA, 3). The rules of a partnership state that if one partner breaks a law, the other one is responsible for that as well. The issue that Roberts and Jones are faced with is liquor liability. "The cash bar provider is responsible for all activities, including age verification and addressing intoxicated guests. The cash bar provider assumes virtually all alcohol-related liability" (Caudle, 2). For Davidson to be able to reach a blood alcohol level of .16 he would have been visibly intoxicated. Roberts' and his employees continued to serve Davidson although the risks were visible. Davidson then left the business intoxicated and involved himself in an accident. This leaves both Joe Roberts and Dr. Donald Jones responsible for the actions of Dan Davidson as a third party. "Section 47 P.S. 4-497 provides as…
Scott entered into a bilateral contract with Otis in which Scott promised to advertise using the signboard that Otis provided. As a part of this contract Otis is required to change the lettering on the sign within forty-eight hours after receiving written request from Scott. The contract was breached when Otis failed to change the sign. As a result of this breach in the contract Scott was then obligated to pay $1000 dollars to Todd. Scott can recover $500 from Otis which is the $1000 Scott had to pay to Todd less the amount he would have had to pay Perry for pitching a no-hit game.…
In Tschetschot v. Commissioner, 93 TCM 914 (2007), the tax court ruled that taxpayer’s losses from participating in tournament poker were limited to the amount of her winnings. The court held that tournament poker is, despite its differences from other types of poker, essentially a wagering activity and therefore should not be treated differently from other forms of gambling for tax purposes. The court also rejected the taxpayer’s equal protection argument to treat tournament poker as sports, on the basis of the policy decisions of the congress to treat business based on wagering activities differently.…
These two men were friends for over 25 years. After work each day, they would go and get their special “package” from the liquor store, which included two lottery tickets, which never turned out to be a major winner. On December 16, 1982, Pearsall purchased the package without any monetary support from Alexander. However, Alexander was who scratched the tickets only to find neither was a winner. Later that day, Alexander went and purchased another package; letting Pearsall scratch one and he scratch the other. Alexander’s ticket was a $20,000 winner, which he cashed and refused to give anything to Pearsall. Pearsall brought a suit against his friend, stating it was a breach of an agreement.…
BB is not a formalized company under the laws of corporation and taxation, so in turn each individual can be held liable for the debt legally. However, Dracca should not have gone after Ms. Grey solely on a tip of her wealth.…
People are influenced by a variety of different sources – their parents, their friends, and their communities. While everyone must learn to make their own decisions, they often follow the beliefs of the people around them. Teenagers register to vote as a “Democrat” merely because their parents call themselves Democrats. Sometimes blindly following another’s influence can result in something much more severe, such as becoming a slave owner due to the influence of the surrounding society. Shirley Jackson’s story “The Lottery” uses the color black to symbolize how irrationally adhering to a tradition when its origin is neither remembered nor understood can result in people performing ignorant actions.…
John was both of those things completely. Just about everyone in Poker Flat gambled. People here may act like they don’t and may act proper but we all know the truth. This became evident when they had thoughts about hanging John. The committee believed that hanging him was “a sure method of reimbursing themselves from his pockets of the sums he had won from them”. Those in that committee acted like they are saints and like John was the bad guy but in fact they were hypocrites. John was a heck of a gambler, so good that they wanted to run him out of town. Many in the West were seen as outcasts, John was one of the said many. Having a strong character and good morals in the West is key to establish a life here. John didn’t stray away from his morals and lived fairly, the money he won: he won it honestly and through skill. Here in the West, only the strongest survive. That statement was going well for John until his…
Carnegie and Galbraith are playing billiards next to the fireplace while drinking fine Cognac brandy and smoking top of the line Cohiba cigars. Both are having an exceptional time. At the same time, their differing opinions on political topics, most strongly on how money should and should not be used, begin to develop. Carnegie believes money is worked for, therefore the one who earned it has every right to do just as he or she pleases, gambling being one of those things. As a matter of fact, the house the two men are playing billiards in, is Carnegie’s third house, which he built after winning a vast sum of money at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Mr. Galbraith gives a strong emphasis on how…
Gambling, drinking, laziness, and Indian attacks on the colonists were major problems at that period of time. Many of the colonist used gaming, and drinking as a way to entertain themselves, so it was mandatory to establish laws to forbid drinking and gaming. People weren’t qualified to farm or survive in that type of environment or survive the Indian attacks. Death rates were high because of starvation, diseases, and accidents from getting involved with Native Americans. Establishing a set of rules and laws was important to forbid gambling, dinking, selling giving or treading weapons of any kind with Native Americans to limit their sources to weapons and to keep peace. It was also important to set laws that encourage people to farm and survive.…

Gambling has a strong impact on economy. It is the fastest growing entrepreneurial way that governments can reduce taxes in their town, city, or state. In fact, two hundred billion dollars are made each year from the gambling industry nationwide (Sylvester 110). Americans view gambling as an accepted pastime in society and because of it, government is able to create a substantial increase in profits. In 1993, during casino’s first fiscal period, four hundred twenty eight million dollars in revenue…
After the cowboys finished their dinner, they ordered some coffee to sober up. Since their families were back at home, they started texting them. One of the members of the group, Ray Lambert, noticed something unusual as he scrolled through his phone. An advertisement for an online casino had just appeared. Normally, he ignored ads. For some reason, he decided to try playing the casino game. It offered 150 free spins, so he figured that he had nothing to lose. To his amazement, Ray won $34,423 after just four spins!…
