On January 16, 1976, the District Court reversed the Commission’s decision and ordered reinstatement of the benefits to Mrs. Mitchell. Issue: The issue of this case is whether Mrs., Mitchell’s actions had constituted misconduct to which caused her to disqualify from certain unemployment compensation benefits. Under s 59-9-5(b), N.M.S.A.1953 Rule: “Misconduct” is a term that is has not been defined in Unemployment Compensation Law. New Mexico has adopted Wisconsin's 259-60,296 N.W. 636, 640 (1941) term for “misconduct”.
Mitchell’s acts constituted misconduct. Ms. Mitchell’s insubordination, improper attire, name calling and other behavior evidenced a willful disregard of the interests of the Center. Each separate incident was not sufficient enough to conclude misconduct, but taken in totality, Ms. Mitchell’s conduct was sufficient to be classified as misconduct. The court applied the State Statue NM. STAT.
Whether the appeal concerns the judgment or a judge’s behavior an appeals court reviews what happened in the proceedings of the trial and looks for any errors that may have occurred. If the appeals court finds any errors that contributed to the court’s decision, the court will reverse the decision. In this case the judge was completely rude and threw insults at Schmidt. Federal and state constitutions require a fair, impartial trials and this judge was not impartial to Schmidt at all. Because of his conduct he did not provide her a fair trial in her custody petition.
One needs to consider whether the sinking of the ship was an isolated event that was easily corrected, or whether it was a serious flaw that would require costly repairs. What needs to be answered regarding the flaw is whether the vendor, Captain Jack Sparrow, should have been aware of such a flaw; that is, was the flaw as a result of a patent or latent defect. If such defect was latent, was it known to the vendor. At common law, Davey Jones should also consider the principles of product liability, a branch of negligence law, arguing that Captain Jack Sparrow Inc. sold him a defective product that was not fit for its intended and known purpose. Davey Jones could also argue misrepresentation—he was induced to enter into the contract based on representations made about the quality of the ship.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a lawsuit against Tidewater Plastering and Drywall Company, Inc., claiming that the company created and maintained a hostile working environment for Jorge Calderon.

The report said that it was now clear that the problems at Winterbourne View were far worse than initially indicated by the whistle-blower and that the provider had effectively misled the Q.C.Q by not keeping them informed about incidents as required by
When a case is true at first glance and proceed to trial it is called a prima farce case, and based on the evidence Becket made the burden of proof and if the defendant isn't unable to come up with evidence proving him wrong, the plaintiff shall be awarded. Wheeler cannot claim that it was a business necessity to fire Becket, nor a seniority system or a bona fide qualification- none of these defenses used for this kind of situation could apply to the circumstances. The reason is because the Wheeler and his firm blatantly lack an ethical approach when it comes to Beckett's sexuality. Their negligent behavior resulted in a man who was once their star attorney, losing his job, in turn brought them to court, and won for their malpractices. Despite he was qualified for the position he was working, he was discharged in a questionable manner that raised reasonable belief of discrimination; he wasn't fired due to his lack of duties as they claimed, but the obvious lesions marked on his body.
In order for us to determine our liability, should Paula sue for discrimination, we need to understand what the courts consider a hostile working environment, and determine if Sam has, in fact, created one. According to the U.S. Supreme Court, the frequency of the discriminatory conduct, the severity of the conduct, which includes whether it was physically threatening or humiliating, and whether or not the actions unreasonably interfere with the employee’s job performance, are all factors that determine if a hostile work environment exists (Cheeseman, 2010). The first factor to consider is that Paula and Sam had a sexual relationship that Paula ended. While there is no law prohibiting such a relationship it can be considered motive for Sam’s behavior. Secondly, it is Paula’s indication that Sam started exhibiting unwanted behaviors after the break up.

1. Identify and discuss the key factors that led to the breakdown of industrial relations at HMSI. Although HMSI have good HR policies taking place, management failed to implement such HR polices creating a breakdown of industrial relations at HMSI. There were several incidents, according to the case study, that created a gap between workers and management such as the gift that employees rejected and was later directly transferred to their bank accounts. Management’s implementation of the movement sheet and strict leave policy, denying leaves even for some serious and emergency situation, as well favoritism and constant threat of termination when requesting shift changes contributed to the collapse of industrial relations.
