Contract Principles Contract Law

Contract Principles Contract Law

Read the Final Project Assignment. Review the main contract principles from each chapter in the book A Short and Happy Guide. Apply and include the contract principles to answer each of the questions. Question No. 1 – A Bride for Jacob Read the Background Reading below and answer the following questions: 1. Has a Deal Been Made? You should answer this question and include if there was mutual assent, offer and acceptance and any other relevant materials from Chapter 1. 2. Is the Deal Enforceable? Your answer should include whether or not the agreement between Jacob and Laban is supported by consideration? (See Ch. 2) 3. Does the Statute of Frauds apply as a Defense to Enforcement of the Deal? (See Ch. 3) 4. Are any third parties affected by the contract? (See Ch. 7) In answering the questions, does Jacob’s knowledge of the customs of the time affect your answers, if at all? Question No. 2 – Parol Evidence and Excuse The Smiths wished to sell their farm. Across the road from the farm, the Smiths had an icehouse. Mr. Jones was interested in purchasing the farm, but found the icehouse objectionable. The Smiths orally promised, in consideration of Jones agreeing to the purchase of their farm, to remove the icehouse. Relying upon this promise, Jones executed a written contract to buy the farm for $128,000. The contract for the purchase and sale of the farm appeared fully complete on its face, addressing any and all terms typically included in a contract for the purchase and sale of a farm. However, the contract was silent on the removal of the icehouse. The sale was completed, and Jones took possession of the property. The Smiths never removed the icehouse even though Jones made several attempts to get the Smiths to remove it. 1. Can Jones offer proof that the promise to remove the icehouse was made in furtherance of the agreement to purchase the farm? (Hint: See Chapter 4 What are the Terms of the Deal?) 2. Will the Court order “specific performance” as a remedy and order the Smiths to remove the icehouse? What if Jones pays to have the icehouse removed, can he recover his costs from the Smiths? (See Chapter 6) 3. Assume JUST FOR THIS QUESTION, that Jones and the Smiths entered into a separate contract for removal of the icehouse and they agreed to: 1) split the cost of removal 50/50; 2) that the Smiths would use their contractor to start removal the day after escrow closes; and 3) Mr. Jones would make the first 50% payment directly to the contractor with the Smiths paying the remaining 50% balance. Mr. Jones closed escrow and it is now week four and the contractor has not shown up despite Mr. Jones repeated efforts to contact the Smiths. What steps can he legally take? (See Chapter 5) Please include the definitions of the relevant contract terms in your papers and write complete and thorough answers. Background Reading (Genesis 29:15-30): Jacob Agrees to Work in Order to Marry Rachel 29:15 Later, Laban asked Jacob, “Should you serve me for free, just because you’re my nephew? Let’s talk about what your wages should be.” 16 Now Laban happened to have two daughters. The older one was named Leah and the younger was named Rachel. 17 Leah looked rather plain, but Rachel was lovely in form and appearance. 18 Jacob loved Rachel, so he made this offer to Laban: “I’ll serve you for seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.” 19 “It’s better that I give her to you than to another man,” Laban replied, “so stay with me.” 20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel, but it seemed like only a few days because of his love for her. 21 Eventually, Jacob told Laban, “Bring me my wife, now that my time of service has been completed, so I can go be with her.” 22 So Laban gathered all the men who lived in that place and held a wedding festival. Laban Deceives Jacob 23 That night Laban took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob. He had marital relations with her. 24 Laban also gave his servant woman Zilpah to Leah to be her maidservant. 25 The next morning, Jacob realized that it was Leah! “What have you done to me?” he demanded of Laban. “Didn’t I serve you for seven years in order to marry Rachel? Why did you deceive me?” 26 But Laban responded, “It’s not the practice of our place to give the younger one in marriage before the firstborn. 27 Fulfill the week for this daughter, then we’ll give you the other one in exchange for serving me another seven years.” 28 So Jacob completed another seven years’ work, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife. 29 Laban also gave his woman servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her maidservant. 30 Jacob also married Rachel, since he loved her. He served Laban another full seven years’ work for Rachel.

Religious Freedom Restoration Act

Religious Freedom Restoration Act

As you defend your position, use one of the authors/theories covered this semester to help support your position. As you develop the debate, use a second author/theory discussed this semester to support the counter-position. With a little creative insight, you could discuss any two authors this semester in relation to this controversial law. Finally, please be sure you can open all the links related to this assignment. Immediately check that you can open the links, and email me immediately if you have a problem. NOTE: the first link is a news article from the “IndyStar”. You may have to fill out an annoying (but short) survey to gain access to the article. Sorry about this. But no personal information is required.

Gender norms in sport management

Gender norms in sport management

Your essay should contain an introduction, main body and conclusion. Guidance on writing essays can be found here. There is no one correct answer to the question, but it does invite a reasoned answer and discussion, supported by research and other forms of evidence  (e.g. media stories, relevant data). You should refer to the module framework for further advice on investigating a contemporary issue such as gender in sport. Gender discrimination is discussed in Unit 8 of Study Topic 2; however, your answer to the question should draw upon the content of all four units of Study Topic 2 (Units 8-11). You may chose to focus your discussion on athletes or those who work in sport. You may like to reflect on both high profile and mainstream examples that you have seen in the media that illustrate the issue, such as: a.

The BBC Sports Personality of the Year (SPOTY) awards take place each year in December. Several awards are presented at the ceremony, but the main award is for sports personality of the year. b.Media coverage of high profile sporting events such as the 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, and World Athletics Championships. c.General media coverage and representation of men’s and women’s sport. There are a range of ways to successfully answer the question, but as a guide, a good answer will be expected to: Consider what gender discrimination is and critically discuss it using supporting evidence (Unit 8). Consider the impact of the broader media on sports coverage and representation (Unit 9). Consider whether there are media examples that challenge stereotypical gender norms in sport (Unit 10). Consider whether any gender-related power imbalances (e.g. pay, coaching positions) are reflected in the media’s coverage and representation of women in sport, sports coverage and reporting (Unit 11). Answer the question, i.e. critically discuss the view that gender discrimination exists in sport. Use a range of supporting references.
