    Case Study: Miss Behavin's Ship Breakdown

    The case presented dictates eight parties involved. Those eight parties are the marina, Miss Behavin's ship keeper, Odd A Sea's ship keeper, Sea Duction, U.S. Coast Guard, the Ice Harbor Bridge operator, two injured civilians, and all damaged buildings. Evidence was presented to determine who has what claims. The ship Miss Behavin was not properly anchored.

Therefore, once the ice caused immense pressure onto the ropes and mooring shore anchor, the anchor gave way and the ship began to drift into the moving channel of the river. The only person aboard the Miss Behavin was the ship keeper whom was unable to properly operate the ship. Yet, the ship keeper did try to drop the ship's anchor but failed to do it correctly.…

    Sun Ship, Inc.: Case Study

    Is the liquidated damages clause valid in this case? (Hill, 2014) Now 17,000 was valid and reasonable in light of the language of the contract and to what both Sun Ship and C & H agreed on. But to further penalize was not reasonable. I agree with Sun Ship that in that they tried to invoke the hindsight rule, claiming that “it shouldn't have to pay liquidated damages that were so far out of proportion to the actual damages” (Mihai,n.d.) The situation as it developed was different from the anticipation and the barge was not ready but neither was the tug. C and H were, in fact, able to find other shipping and their crop did not rot, nor were their customers left without sugar. I do believe in the claim by Sun that the actual damages suffered, does not justify the liquidated damages enforced by…

    In February 1981, after daily paper records of the fiber analysis, the killer started dumping bodies in Chattahoochee River. The victims were additionally bare, or nearly bare.

This argument gave rise to the second issue: if the respondent breached its duty of care, is the appellant guilty of contributory negligence, and to what extent?…

    Hudson Bay Company Case Summary

    Mismanagement by company-appointed agents is an issue that challenges organizations with hubs in various worldwide locations. Agency problems are detrimental to firms, and if left unchecked, can spell out disaster for a company. For charted companies of the 17th and 18th centuries, managerial commitment was highly impacted by the lengthy gaps in communication with firm directors; often leading to opportunistic behavior among overseas management. While several companies failed, the Hudson Bay Company successfully established a mix of business practices that strived to dismiss workplace deviance.

    Palsgraf Vs Long Island Railroad Summary

    On February 24, 1928 the Court of Appeals of New York first heard the agreement of Helen Palsgraf verses The Long Island Railroad company, appellant. After three long month of hearing both parties argument the majority ruled that the railroad is not liable for Palsgraf’s injuries because the injuries were not a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the railroads negligence’s. The opposing side argued that if the duty can be traced back to the wrongful act that it is sufficient enough to establish liability. In my opinion I agree with the majority decision that even thought the workers of the Long Island Railroad did help push the man with the package onto the train, they had to way of physically knowing that the package was dangerous and going…

    Regina V Dudley and Stephen: Case of the Shipwrenched Sailor

    Good Afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury. When the judge read the indictment to you in the beginning of the case, you all had some pretty strong feelings. That’s understandable murder is a serious crime. It’s very unfortunate that a life had to be lost, but I’m here to tell you Dudley and Stephens should not be prosecuted or charged for the murder of Richard Parker. Dudley and Stephens are the victims of a failed government. Their acts were an act of survival, when all other alternative were tried. We must ask ourselves why we owe allegiance to our government in the first place. The very reason given by Thomas Hobbes is the social contract, the agreement between the people and their government by which the government protects and promotes the interests of the people, receiving loyalty and support from the people in return. Where was the government when the four seamen were lost at sea? The government failed to find these men and protect their lives and liberties. These men knew without government state of nature was inevitable, total chaos, and disorder. This is why these men had to create their own government.…

    The Titanic: The Cause Of The Titanic

    Fredrick Fleet was the workman on guard on the Titanic on April 14. Fleet, had warned the personnel on the ship’s control deck to look out for icebergs that night, yet nobody was at the control panel that fateful night (McPherson 6). The Titanic was thought to be unsinkable when it was built in 1911. “More than 2,200 people were now aboard the Titanic including 1,300 passengers” (Senan 16). The location the Titanic deported from was Great Britain and it was headed to New York. After three long days of sailing on the North Atlantic, they stopped in Ireland. A few days later, the ship crashed into an iceberg that had made it’s way into North Atlantic from Greenland (Fahey 4). Many people went back to their rooms to get their valuables from down below (Lord 60). Most historians say that they don’t know the exact number of passengers that were on the Titanic because, there was no accurate list of them. The Titanic was a major disaster but could have been prevented if workers were at their stations.…

    The Case of the Shipwrecked Sailors- Prosecution

    In the "case of the shipwrecked sailors", three men were marooned after the sinking of an oil tanker. Subject to extreme conditions and starvation, the men drew lots after about twenty five days and decided that the loser would be killed and eaten as food. When one of the men lost the draw, he pulled out his consent, and the other two men killed him anyway, eating him. Five days later, the remaining two men were rescued and ensuing actions incurred their murder charges. This seems to be a simple case over the battle of life and death, and it truly is. The two men, Dudley and Stephens, made a conscious decision to commit not only the crime of murder, but the atrocity of cannibalism. Crime is crime and law is law- when breaks a law and commits a crime, a punishment must ensue.…
