Business Ethics and Business Law
Charles did not fully meet the contract, the primary reason being damage and loss due to storm. The storm is a natural calamity that could not have been avoided. To prevent a breach to the contact, Charles can invoke force majeure to intervene Act of God (Liyanage, 2018). Here, he may be freed from the obligation temporarily or entirely get out of the handshake contract.
Although his primary source of defence is a natural calamity, rainstorm, he was able to deliver part of the agreement. He can, therefore, declare the breach as Act of God.
Neither party can win the case.
The contract is breached, but the plaintiff is not compensated at the same time the defendant, Charles, has incurred losses, and his defence is Act of God.
Response to Lucas Glampa
I agree that the breach was intentional since it was due to unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, because the contract was binding after the offer was accepted, a breach led sue. Although 4H can terminate the agreement and discharge, John has few options on his table. I, therefore, concur with you that even if he gave his best effort, he would lose the case due to breach of contract while the company wins. Further future contracts should include a termination clause to help in case of a similar incident.
Response to Mariah Green
Organizational culture is most effective when personal and business ethics are part of the business activities. I, therefore, agree that human values such as ethics, cooperate social responsibility, and diversity plays an integral role in the growth and development of a business and, in particular legal practices. These traits improve customer trust with the company and employee participation. I agree that loyalty improves, and due to fair treatment and equality, employees are happier and improve their performance. As a result, a business loses credibility and sustainability when ethics in the organization are infringed.
