In Donoghue v. Stevenson [1932]1, the courts judged the manufacturer of the ginger beer, David Stevenson of Paisley owned a duty of care to Mrs Donoghue even though there was no contract between them. In Lord Atkin’s “neighbor” principle, liability should be found as long as someone failed to “take reasonable care to avoid acts or omissions” which he/she can “reasonably foresee”2 would be likely to injure his/her neighbor, policy factor seems to be irrelevant in deciding whether a duty of care exists. On the other hand, policy factor is one of the major factors in drawing a line to mark out the bounds of duty. The reason of the courts using public policy principles to draw a line to mark out the bounds of duty to limit the responsibility of the defendants is twofold. Firstly, the responsibility of the defendants ought to be limited due to the ‘floodgates’ problem of to many potential claimants.
9. The Wall Street Journal did not publish the evidence by Markopolos because then people would take it out on them because they did not do the investigation and its because of them they lost there money. 10. I feel that the SEC did not do their job because they should have at least see these transactions and they should have caught him before everyone lost their money. Just because Madoff had good connections with the SEC they still have done some sort of an investigation and at least say they did not see anything than just ignore it because now people are mad at the
He argued that they lack the power to act so they are weak. According to Hamilton (1788), they possess “merely judgment; and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments” (p.256). Hamilton (1788) pointed out that the court may sometimes be biased but, “the general liberty of the people can never be endangered from that quarter” (p. 256). In respect to the interpretation of the law, Hamilton (1788) believed that the constitution is “a fundamental law…” (p.257) and, “if there be an irreconcilable variance between the two, the constitution ought to be preferred to the statute, the intention of the people to the intention of their agents” (p.257). He is indirectly saying; court’s rulings give back power to the people.
The law requires that a statement to be determined as whether it is a fact or opinion, because based on the First Amendment, that “there is no such thing as a false idea”. C. The three terms used by Cole are defamatory in nature since they imply misconduct of an attorney. D. Cole’s claim that the affidavit was “inaccurate” is a fact, and not an opinion, since its falsehood can be determined. E. Cole’s statements were based on undisclosed defamatory facts (unknown communication between Cole and his client) and thus not protected under the First
Alexis Rognholt Hour 6 Tommy Boy Tommy boy isn’t your average stereotype salesman you think of; in fact if I saw him on the street I wouldn’t believe him to be one at all. As you go through the movie you see Tommy fail in each sale after sale. An ineffective way he uses in selling is that he takes no for an answer easily, in our unit I don’t recall ever learning to just say okay and walk away if someone says no to you. When trying to sell an item, you need to approach them prepared and confident, if you aren’t convinced that what you are selling is the best out there, how are you supposed to convince the customer? They won’t be convinced as you see throughout the movie.
“McCarty v. Pheasant Run” LEG 300 Tort Law October 28, 2012 The court concluded that the owner of the resort was not to be held liable of negligence charges. Do to the fact that the Ms. McCarty was a reasonable person and should have known to check the doors to make sure they were locked. The judge held that the burden of precaution is less than the magnitude of the accident, if it occurs, multiplied by the probability of occurrence. This is the famous “Hand Formula”. McCarty failed to prove that negligence was the cause in this case.
The trial court found that it was not, and granted the defendant summary judgment. In this case, John Marhshall was not the proximate cause of the death because Mr. Smith was experiencing psychosis symptoms prior to his death. The other sypmtoms he experienced were only reported to his roomate and not the nurse, therefore the nurse had no idea he was experiencing such issues. Hence, the nurse or the hospital was not the proximate cause of his suicide and may have resulted from several other factors. IV.
Also, just last year, the fifty and the ten got their makeover with the watermarks and the different colors (Hagenbough). Another way to prevent counterfeiting is through technology safeguards. So far only Cannon has taken the bureau up on the offer back in 1992. All information is classified for obvious reasons. However, one thing that happens when a counterfeiter tries to scan the money is a warning comes up telling him that it cannot copy this because under law it is not allowed.
I prefer not to be touched so much. Some people feel disrespected to be greeted with a left hand, when it my be acceptable in another culture. There are so many examples of how individuals want to be treated differently that I could go on listing them, but I wont. I will, however touch on the fact that some people think that that they deserve more then they actually do. It may be unfair to be required to treat a peer like royalty simply because he or she feels entitled to such.
This is because the information that is prepared for the website is by many different sources. The sources that provide the information are not very credible because at the bottom of each article that you search there are many different links that can bring you more information on the subject. To an academic person, this would not be credible because they would continuously keep searching through all the links to find a credible source. This is why most academic facilities forbid the use of Wikipedia in their schools because the information that is provide is not reliable. Many intuitions use peer-reviewed articles as credible sources.
