Law Case Study Affiliation Law Case Study Case study Task He received the contract of employment letter end read itin details. The manual of employment read did contain details of information that created a contract with the firm, and illegal sacking. The cause and reason of sacking was unreasonable and hence a breach of contract. The manual did represent the unilateral contract. After reading the manual given to him prior to employment, he did accept the terms and got into the employment contract immediately.
If he could be dissatisfied with the terms of employment in the manual, he could have not accepted the employment offer.Task 2In that case, the court is changing the employment law in Jersey State. In such a case when the plaintiff is not available, it is impossible to continue with the case, and automatic cessation of the case occurs. Any death occurring before the case is over and the jury have made the decision leads to final disqualification as one party that had information on the case is no longer available.
Task 3The court is in the process of changing the court analysis in the country. The opinions of the employer are fair. Basic honesty is necessary in employment contracts. The jury had to make tight decisions since it is dependable on the future judgments. The common law of the country should hence be promoted for the sake of justice (Werhane, Radin, Bowie, & Wiley, 2004). For the employer to avoid such future problem, he should ensure that the employment manual is different from the employment contract to make everything clear.
Case study 2Task 1The whole task of selling the land ends up in a total dispute. It is accompanied by corruption such as bribing for the sake of convincing the buyer to fix the bargain. In addition to that, it seems that Zehmer was intoxicated with “drinks “at the time of the sales process, later confirming that the whole process was a joke. In addition to that, the price for the quoted land is far much low according to the economic standards, such that one may see it a joke buying such huge piece at such a low price.
Zehmer also makes a commitment to sell the farm without making a prior and sober agreement with the wife but simply seduces her to sign the offer.Task 2If the defendants were in a position to accept that the whole process was a foul and joke, it would have implications or any change. It would remain a breach of contract of sale between the two parties. When one is making an agreement to sell a property or for employment purposes, he should note that, it remains critical to submit to the terms of the offer and to oblige to it in full.
In the situation, the contract is both oral and written, signed by the wife of the property seller. Therefore, it remains legal. They had every reason to compensate for the cost of breaking the contract to the complainants, who had even gone to the extent of having a signed contract.Task 3The objective standard entails what can be seen externally, rather than what the defendants can say or argue about. In such a case, agreements made and any contract signed is used. It is not subject to distortion in comparison with the subjective data.
Information delivered orally can be distorted at any time due to environmental changes or psychological stability of a person. However, any written or subjective source cannot easily be altered. Task 4The parties will have a contract if at all Mary agrees to sell the car immediately and she repeats the oral agreement in presence of a witness. Contrary, any agreement made when one is emotional or not fully sane has detrimental implications, and the victim ends up reversing it. Therefore, the best choice would be to wait for the client to remain sober then have a written agreement rather than the decision the client made when he was in the emotional state.
