    A foster care worker is a very risky, yet rewarding field of work. Before becoming a foster care worker one should determine many factors about what they are taking on. The process in which a child has to go through before being placed in foster care is very traumatizing. Some are taking away from their parents or guardians due to physical abuse, being neglected, sexual abuse or even due to their parents passing away. By the time the child is placed in their new foster care home, there are many factors and emotions that the foster care worker have to take on to care properly for the child. It becomes the foster care workers responsibility not to only provide shelter and food, but to be responsible for the child 24/7 as if the child were their own.

    atish was a Sales Manager for Industrial Products Company in City branch. A week ago,he was promoted and shifted to Head Office as Deputy Manager - Product Management for adivision of products which he was not very familiar with. Three days ago, the company VP -Mr. George, convened a meeting of all Product Managers. Satish's new boss (ProductManager Ketan) was not able to attend due to some other preoccupation. Hence, theMarketing Director, Preet - asked Satish to attend the meeting as this would give him anexposure into his new role.At the beginning of the meeting, Preet introduced Satish very briefly to the VP. The meetingstarted with an address from the VP and soon it got into a series of questions from him toevery Product Manager. George, of course, was pretty thorough with every single product of the company and he was known to be pushy and a blunt veteran in the field. Most of theProduct Managers were very clear of George's ways of working and had thoroughly preparedfor the meeting and were giving to the point answers. George then started with Satish.Satish being new to the product, was quite confused and fared miserably.Preet immediately understood that George had possibly failed to remember that Satish wasnew to the job. He thought of interrupting George's questioning and giving a discretereminder that Satish was new. But by that time, George who was pretty upset with the lackof preparation by Satish made a public statement "Gentlemen, you are witnessing here anexample of sloppy work and this can't be excused".Now Preet was in two minds - should he interrupt George and tell him that Satish is new inthat position OR should he wait till the end of the meeting and tell George privately. Preetchose the second option.Satish was visibly angry at the treatment meted out by George but he also chose to keep…

    Privity is where someone not a party to a contract can be liable under neither it nor benefit from it. There has to be a promise from the party also some consideration. It is stated in the book 19th Century according to Richards that privity’s modern authority has been through the case of Dunlop v Lambert. In Dunlop v Selfridge[1] where there was a contract between Dunlop to the wholesaler and then to Selfridge, Dunlop stated not to sell tyres below the list price and the wholesaler created the second contract that if tyres were sold under the list price then it would be seen as a breach and there would be a fine of £5 for each tyre.[2] So this contract involved a third party which is the wholesaler in between. It was held in this case by Lord Haldane “in the law of England certain principles are fundamental. One is that only a person who is part to a contract can sue on it… a second principle is that if a person with whom a contract not under seal has been made is able to enforce it consideration must have been given by him…”[3] So this shows that it was for Dunlop to agree on this charge of £5 per tyre as they are under the seal of the contract. By using the rule stated from Dunlop v Lambert it states that the main contract holder in this case is Dunlop has less control that he would have if he had gone direct to the retailer to sell the product. So it seems there would have been more control if there were only two parties involved. Also under the rule Selfridge cannot get compensation if he suffers no loss. This rule has made it easier in Privity as it gives a remedy when parties had thought there was a breach and would cause damage to a identifiable third party and has there is no other remedy.[4] This allows the law on three party contracts being clear and consistent. In the case of Darlington Borough Council v Wilshire…
