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…

Law enforcement Law enforcement is integral in the prevention and mitigation of crimes on soft targets such as malls. Based on my experience as the director of security, the lack of enough security personnel is the most vulnerable aspect regarding the mall. A majority of malls have been identified as targets since the government is focused on securing hard targets such as military and government institutions. According to Hesterman (2018), attacks on crowded areas have led to an increase in the number of casualties. The mall is a source of entertainment for numerous individuals in the community. The presence of three security officers in a large mall makes them vulnerable and attractive to terrorists. The latter will easily access the building using the various blind spots where there is little surveillance from the officers. Additionally, the lack of surveillance cameras around the mall exposes the visitors the terrorist threats. In this case, cameras in different areas around the mall will allow the officers to monitor movements and identify unusual activities. As the director of security, a realistic approach would be…

 Contract Law The question is concerned with Contract Law. It deals with the aspects of offer and acceptance. This theory becomes legally binding when the parties involved are of one mind. One party lays down the proposal, which he/she anticipates that the other party will accept the terms on offer. Once both parties are in agreement, it becomes legally binding. The question involves two scenarios. Both scenarios include Ada and place her in a difficult spot with her two clients: Kevin and Erick. There was a legally binding contract between Erick and Ada concerning the purchase of the masks. Both parties laid out their conditions, which the other party accepted. Erick went on to fulfil his part of the agreement. He paid the money and sent her a picture of the transfer receipt and stated where he would like to collect the masks. At this point, the contract became binding as he had communicated his acceptance, as in the case of Entorres v Miles. He then waited for Ada to do her part. However, the delivery company informed Ada that…

 primary sources of law in the United States of America Laws and regulations are norms of conduct legislated to maintain justice and stability in a society. The government of citizens is, therefore, based on laws and not the instincts of men. For without laws, humans would be but animals. Laws ensure that disputes are solved in a civilized manner, thereby maintaining peaceful co-existence within the society. Laws are drawn from sources which can either be primary or secondary. The primary sources of law in the United States of America include the U.S Constitution, federal and state statutes, case laws, and administrative regulations. The United States Constitution The Constitution forms the most fundamental source of law in a country that the government and every department draw authority from.

Any other statute which is inconsistent or violates the Constitution is void to the extent of its inconsistency. The United States constitution provides Bill of Rights which protect the individual liberties of every citizen in the…

Putin signs law that allows him to Rule Russia beyond 2024. The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, today signed the law on constitutional amendments that allows him to remain in power beyond 2024, by granting him the right to run for reelection.   The new Russia constitution amendments open up the possibility for Putin to remain in the Kremlin until 2036 since they have broken the current rules that barred a president from running for reelection after serving two six-year terms. Putin’s two six-year terms come to an end in 2024 Putin, who will be 83 in 2036, has been at the helm of Russia’s Governance since 2000, having held the post of President of the Republic for four terms. But between 2008 and 2012, he held the post of prime minister, in a move that was aimed at avoiding violation of the nation’s laws which allowed him only two consecutive terms, having been replaced by Dmitri Medvedev, a mere political protégé of his. Vladimir Putin signed the law on constitutional amendments after the Russian Federation Council, which functions as…

the development of common law and statutory law Module 1 Module one discussed the development of common law and statutory law. It also highlighted the relationship between the legislature and the law-making process. Common law is the body of legal rules that are derived from the decisions made by the judges while ruling on a case (Friedman & Hayden, 2017). Under stare decisis (the doctrine judges consider when making a universal law), familiar law judges must consider prior decisions that are similar and base their judgments on the precedent. If this is not done, then the choices will likely be overruled later on in the legal process. An example is when the court decided that people who have lived together for over ten years have the right to share their assets. Statutory laws, on the other hand, is a body of law that is written and passed by a body legislature (Friedman & Hayden, 2017). Examples include criminal codes, tax laws, company formation regulations, and traffic regulations. A proposal to change or repeal an existing law or make a new…

Analysis of contracts under contract law Residential house lease If the landlord has refused to make repairs even after receiving warnings from the tenants, other steps will help the tenant receive ramifications or get the repairs to their home conducted. One way of getting the landlord to fix the leak on the roof and the mold is rent withholding or rent strikes where a tenant withholds some or all of the rent. As tenants, Juan has the right to withhold the rent since landlords must provide tenants with habitable and safe housing on the warranty of habitability under the Housing stability and tenant protection act of 2019. If the landlord knowingly refuses to fix issues within the property that significantly affects the quality of life of the tenants in the property, they are in violation of the warranty of habitability. The law is unclear on how long and how much of the rent a tenant can withhold. However, it is essential to ensure that the landlord knows that the rent is being withheld until the repairs are made. Tenants have…
