Eva And Sheena Case Summary
Additional Problem #7
Judgement for Eva. In this scenario, Maria has the legal obligations to pay back Eva the remaining sum of $15,000. In the contract, it states that Maria has to pay $75,000 for the service. Thus, she has the pre-existing legal obligation to pay Eva in full.
Judgement for Eva. In this scenario, though she accepted the check, Eva indicated that it was “under protest”. Because there was a written contract that indicated that a debt of $75,000 has to be paid for the decorating service, it is considered as a liquidated debt and accord and satisfaction does not occur. Maria has the legal obligation to pay the full debt, although she wrote on the check “payment in full for decorating service”.
Judgement for Eva. Although Eva and Maria decided in their conversation that the debt was $60,000 for the full decorating service, there was no written promise or contract that she will discharge the debt. On the contract signed by both the debtor and the creditor, the debt would be $75,000 for the decorating service. The debtor, Maria, must pay $75,000 in full. Thus, Eva has the right to sue for the remanding $15,000.

    Katie is a 35-year-old professional woman, wife and mother of two small children. Katie was first introduced to pain medications after a car accident left her with an injured lower back. The pain medications she took, began a neurobiological response in Katie’s brain that she had no control over. Narcotics take aim at the brains reward system, saturating it with dopamine, giving the user a feeling of pleasure (“Drug Abuse, Addiction, and the Brain,” n.d. p. 2). Katie’s brain began to acclimate to the dopamine surges. Which in turn, the brain generates less dopamine and or decreases the dopamine receptors. This made Katie use more and more drugs, to continually try and attain the dopamine high (“Drug Abuse, Addiction, and the Brain,” n.d. p. 2) Brain imaging studies show that areas of the brain that regulate judgement, behavior control, learning and memory are affected by drug addiction. These changes create the abuser to seek out and take drugs compulsively (“Drug Abuse, Addiction, and the Brain,” n.d. p.1). This began Katie’s addiction to prescription pain medications.…
