Armstrong is obligated to transfer and deliver conforming goods to GCI. Conforming goods requires that the goods must conform exactly to the agreed upon description provided by the buyer to the seller. This action is referred to as tender of delivery and the UCC obligates the seller to have or tender the specific goods requested. By substituting the third part of the press Armstrong has not yet breached the contract but has not provided perfect tender. Armstrong’s failures to meet their obligation gives GCI three options: they may reject the entire shipment of goods, accept the shipment of goods as is, or accept any number of commercial units and reject the rest of the goods, (Melvin 2011, pg.
According to the Latin maxim “nemo dat quod non habet” set out in S21(1) of the Sale of goods Act 1979 the seller cannot pass to a buyer a better title to the goods than he himself possesses. This is an indication that English law generally opts to safeguard the rights of the true owner although there have been attempts to tip the scales in favour of the private purchaser. There are exceptions set out in the SGA, which protect the rights of third parties who have bought the goods from a non-owner without knowledge of the fraud. One of those exceptions is contained in S27(1) of the Hire Purchase Act 1964 which awards a good title to a private purchaser, who buys from a hirer a motor vehicle subject to a hire purchase or conditional sale agreement. According to S27(2) he must do so in good faith, without any notice of the hire purchase agreement.

A few years later… John Lewis Political The political factor has impacted John Lewis enormously. New laws bring limits on what they can do and what is legal to do.

In order for Kudler Fine Foods to develop a functioning frequent shopper program, it must track and monitor consumers shopping behavior. The drive of market research is to collect data on consumers and prospective consumers. The collected statistics support business decision making, which therefore diminishes the risks involved in making these conclusions. This type of research would also benefit the consumer by lowering the cost on items bought most, while giving them personalized incentives to return. As a result, legal matters concerning privacy of the consumer has risen and established far more attention.
It is normal in commercial practice for goods to be supplied on credit – a manufacturer may need to sell the goods they have produced before being able to pay a supplier of the raw materials. This can create problems for the supplier because if the buyer becomes insolvent before payment and after property in the raw material has passed, they become part of the buyer's general assets and the seller will simply rank alongside other unsecured creditors, which will involve expense in lodging proof of a claim and may yield little or no benefit. As such, to some extent, the seller can guard against this possibility by not passing the property in goods to the buyer. S.17(1) SGA 1979 states that where there is a contract for the sale of specific goods, the property in them is transferred to the buyer when both the parties to the contract intend it to be transferred. If the parties do not intend the property to pass, it will not do so, even if the buyer obtains possession (Tank and Vessels Industries v Devon Cider).
Kant tried to make moral ethics scientific through universalisation. Just as the law of gravity is universal, Kant believed so should the ‘law’ of ethics. To Kant, doing the right moral action is a categorical imperative. Ethics should be without exceptions. For example, if it is morally wrong to lie, then everyone should never lie.
This external pressure incentivized Newell to optimize their supply chain and maximize supply efficiency, which led to systems like cross-docking. The threat of new competition and the threat of other products/services went hand in hand with how Newell was perceived by their customer. If a Wal-Mart, say, were displeased with an aspect of Newell’s performance they would pressure Newell by threatening to allow a competitor into the supply chain to stock some stores. Given the relatively un-differentiated nature of Newell products substitute suppliers were not hard to find. In essence, any market player that was operationally similar with a comparable, or superior, portfolio of products was a threat for Newell.
Lockean rights require that people must refrain from acting in certain ways, in particular refrain from interfering with others. Nozick’s theory of economic justice, which is called ‘entitlement theory,’ maintains that people are entitled to their holdings (for example, goods, money and property) as long as they have acquired them fairly, meaning that they have been acquired without violating anybody’s Lockean rights (Shaw, Barry, & Sansbury, 2007 (a)). Nozick’s entitlement theory has three principles, acquisition, transfer, and rectifying injustice in holdings. Acquisition refers to the fact that a person who acquires a holding without violating anyone’s Lockean rights is entitled
For utilitarian school of thought, an individual strives to do the most good, even at the expense of the minority. Utilitarianism and Kantianism find the basis of their differences in the idea that the ends justify the means. Utilitarian beliefs support this idea while Kantian philosophy rejects this. Modern ethics were devised from these two basic ethical beliefs in an attempt to combine the best aspects. Generally, the morally “right” action benefits the majority while affecting the fewest amount in a negative way.
