Business Law and Cases - Assignment Example

In the second case [Messenger v. Gruner]; I actually think that Messenger, in claiming that her privacy was actually invaded in a false light, does not have a compelling case. This is because of the fact that Messenger actually gave consent for YM to use the photos, even when she did not obtain consent from her parents. In this case, there was already money involved in the transaction; a contract was in force when YM used her photos, making YM have the right to illustrate a column in their magazine.

Meanwhile, in the third case [Hennesey v. Pyne]; I think that the defense assumption of risk, in this case, is relevant, due to the fact that Hennesey in the first place knew they risk living in a condominium that is near a golf course. In this case, it is not unusual for a golf ball to turn off course, for it is a common occurrence. In this case, then, the defense assumption of risk is very relevant to the case.
