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.

Business, society and government are placed in different situations depending on what the conflict may be.

An offeror can revoke his/her offer any time before it is accepted as long as an option has not been given. This is even if he/she has stated that the offer will remain open for a particular period of time because the offeree has not presented consideration. The revocation of an offer must be communicated to the offeree, but this does not have to be done by the offeror as long as the information given is reliable. Applying this to the facts, no option was given and no consideration was given as Amy merely informed Danny that the deal was “subject to confirmation from the nursing home’s accountant that funds could be transferred by the time required”. The revocation was communicated to Amy before she made her acceptance as she was made aware of it via Delphine’s website.

This case has not got any relevant in our English system but as mere persuasive argument as we can imply practical consideration that it would be appropriate to follow the principle.
Laws affect a business in many different ways as it can change a way a business operates. This can include factors such as wages, how employees are treated and what a business can or can’t do.

The Contracts Act 1950, section 4(a) provides that “the communication of a proposal is complete when the proposal comes to the knowledge of the proposer.”
