R V Courtaulds Fibres Canada Case Summary
This article is mainly focusing on discussing the current situation in which the EMS has been emphasized in Canada and its relationship with the company operations. Nowadays, as the public awareness of putting the issues of protecting environment as necessarily has been increased, not only had the government of Canada put more attention on how to create the strict environmental law with fine or taxes that high enough for producing the behavior change preventing environmental destruction, but also those polluting industries being regulated had found the new ways to make the cost of environmental destruction lower than as usual by facilitating more advanced technologies that make companies produce the same amount of products with less pollution. However, the most brilliant idea in this article is the due diligence that …show more content…
Also, this critique is shown in the case study of R.v Courtaulds Fibres Canada Inc. when the court had canceled out all of charges that should be imposed for the spill because this company had shown the due diligence towards to the spill. In fact, even though the company eventually avoided the charge for the spill because of its due diligence the problem that required standard for due diligence has not been defined has not yet addressed. As the questions being posted on the article, how long does a company take to be qualified as being duly diligent? What kinds of steps the company takes to be regarded as having due diligence by government? Since those questions are not being answered completely, we can not say that one company can avoid any cost and charge for the environmental damage they produced because of due diligence without clearly defined. Fortunately, many companies have been taken the actions proactively for their environment management in an effort to make their process more

    Burlington Northern Industries V. Ellerth Summary

    Kimberly Ellerth worked in Burlington’s Chicago office from March 1993 through May 1994, first as a merchandising assistant and later as a sales representative. Theodore Slowik was a New York based Vice-President of sales and marketing, supervising Ellerth’s immediate supervisors. Slowik made primarily the decision as to Ellerth’s hire and subsequent promotion. Ellerth spoke with Slowik when he traveled to her Chicago office and when she traveled to business related conferences in New York and elsewhere. Ellerth was required to get Slowik’s approval of special sales to her customers. Soon after Ellerth began working for Burlington, Slowik began to subject Ellerth to harassing acts and comments, coupled with threats that her refusal to submit would result in retaliation. For example, in the summer of 1993, Slowik made a series of comments about Ellerth’s legs and breasts. Ellerth never gave Slowik’s any indication that she was interested in him. Nonetheless, he continued to subject her to unwanted touching of her body. Ellerth resigned soon after Slowik refused to authorize a special project for one of Ellerth’s customers. Three weeks after resigning, Ellerth informed Slowik’s supervisors at Burlington that she had resigned due to Slowik’s harassment. She testified that she did not complain about Slowik’s harassment while still employed by Burlington because she feared for losing her job.…

The police asked Shankar for his licence, registration, and insurance. The accused handed over a licence in the name of Jason Singh, the insurance information handwritten on an informal yellow sticky note, and a photocopy of the vehicle registration.

    Desperate Air

    What would I do if I was in George Nash’s position as Vice President of Real Estate at Desperate Air Corporation (a company in dire financial straits), and my pending sale of Florida property potentially had toxic waste buried beneath the surface. I found this to be the least challenging question posed thus far in terms of my own ethical beliefs. In this instance I would proceed with the sale without disclosing the information regarding what I had heard about the toxic waste. Clearly Florida law states that you do not have to disclose that there is a hazardous substance on commercial property as long as there is not a fraudulent statement about the property. Nash did his due diligence by hiring someone to do an environmental study. The company hired found nothing and a report was submitted to the buyers. Nash also consulted his attorney about what should be disclosed. Fledgling, the company purchasing the property, had the responsibility of performing their own due diligence. While a representative walked the property and found nothing, the article did not state whether or not Fledgling did a full environmental study as well. That should have been part of the purchaser’s process. If you purchase a home it is your responsibility to hire an impartial building inspector to look at your home and report on its condition. The Fledgling representative had the same responsibility to obtain an impartial environmental study. Had the representative done so, they probably would have discovered the toxic waste. It doesn’t matter that the DAC report did not include the disclosure. Unfortunately Fledglings representative was at fault here in my opinion. The fact that Nash prayed about the situation shows that he is not a cold hearted capitalist with only selfish motivations.…

    Abstract Ryland V. Fletcher

    The nineteenth century decision of Rylands v Fletcher epitomises the continuing struggle between two opposing viewpoints of liability for industrial enterprises: strict liability based on the internalization of external costs, and a more laissez-faire fault-based approach. Subsequent confusion about the true nature of Rylands v Fletcher is due to the fact that the decision in fact contains two rules, a narrow one based on nuisance liability between neighbouring landowners, and a wider one based on liability for escapes from potentially dangerous activities.…
