He is the shadiest operator in this region and would shoot his mother for a buck. What a crook!” One of the people at lunch, Joe Stucko, says: "I agree with you. Chetum stole my plans for converting old HVAC systems to new ones. I should sue him for stealing my ideas.” Knarles later learns from his son of the agreement that he entered into with Cheatum on behalf of the firm. Knarles calls Chetum and tells him he wants no part of the agreement and tells him he will messenger a check over to his office minus the charge for the work already completed by the plumber. Chetum sues for breach of contract. Some of the legal actions that can be taken are as follows. Defamation The comments Joe Stucko made are clearly factual. Assuming that they are made with knowledge of falisity or reckless disregard of the truth, then Stucko is liable for defamation. However, the truth is an absolute defense for defamation- so, if Stucko’s statements are true, then he is not liable for defamation. In regards to other legal issues that are to be addressed I will break them down by a case by case basis. Residents vs. Chetum Under common law, Battery is an intentional harmful or offensive touching of one another without consent or privilege. When Chetum tells the plumber to “fix it”, in reference to the boiler, while simultaneously

15–1. Liquidated Damages. Carnack contracts to sell his house and lot to Willard for $100,000. The terms of the contract call for Willard to make a deposit of 10 percent of the purchase price as a down payment. The terms further stipulate that if the buyer breaches the contract, Carnack will retain the deposit as liquidated damages. Willard makes the deposit, but because her expected financing of the $90,000 balance falls through, she breaches the contract. Two weeks later, Carnack sells the house and lot to Balkova for $105,000. Willard demands her $10,000 back, but Carnack refuses, claiming that Willard’s breach and the contract terms entitle him to keep the deposit. Discuss who is correct. (See Damages.)

Pete’s injury is considered a non-criminal matter. I have recently been assigned his lawyer and we are trying to use the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) method or civil litigation route to resolve the legal matters.

In the case of Anthony, a New Jersey resident and owner of a waste disposal company in the state of New Jersey, and his two business associates, Paul and Silvio, whom suffered severe injuries due to a motor vehicle accident caused by a negligent truck driver; they have great standing to sue against the neglectful driver and the company associated with the ownership of the vehicle. Regardless of the diversity of their residency/ citizenship, the affected party can proceed to sue the corporation responsible for the damages caused by their staff and property; reason being that they are protected under the Constitution’s diversity of citizenship, and the privileges and immunities clause. Furthermore, these two constitutional clauses in addition to the commerce clause, dictate the court that the matter needs to be brought to.

Yes, she can because she is counted as minor as of now. As long as she is under 18, she can able to disaffirm any kind of contract. Because public policy of protecting minor is the basis of capacity rules (Barnes 2017: 220). Even though her mother signed the contract by representing her, she still can disaffirm the contract. If she became an adult by the time she disaffirming the contract, she needs some reasonable time to do that but she can still disaffirm the contract if she applied during that time. However, there are some consequences of disaffirming the contract, such as return any possession that have received from adults.
