...Company Law for Business: Assignment 1 (i): Is the cat contract with Feline Fertility Pty Ltd enforceable? Your answer should include an analysis of the reason put forward by Lassie Ltd for terminating the contract. The area of law relating to this particular question is the Corporations Act 2001 section 124, which mentions the legal capacity and powers of a company, and section 125 (2), which refers to a company's objects within its constitution. As Lassie Ltd is a company, it is a separate legal entity, meaning it can enter into contracts in the same legal way a normal human being could. Lassie Ltd's constitution includes the objects clause stating that the company's activities are to be restricted to the breeding and selling of dogs and goods and services associated with dogs, this is why Lassie Ltd wants to terminate the contract. This objects clause does not prevent the company from entering into any contracts as the company can enter into any contract that it wants to as it is a separate legal entity. Despite the fact that Lassie Ltd broke its company constitution, the contract is still enforceable with Feline Fertility Pty Ltd due to the abolishment of doctrine of ultra vires. The abolishment of doctrine of ultra vires means a company cannot enter into contracts beyond their power and then later avoid their legal obligations on the grounds that they had no legal capacity to enter into the contract. Lassie Ltd knowingly entered into the contract to purchase 300...

...Unit 7 Assignment: Keycite for Current Information Kaplan University PA201-04 Legal Research February 5, 2012 The ability to Keycite primary and secondary sources of law is a very important tool provided by the Westlaw database. With this tool, the ability to know whether a law is still “good law” is very simple to do. Keycite can also be used to find other sources of law that can be helpful to the case we are researching, making it a valuable multipurpose program in Westlaw. It can narrow results using West's digest topics and key numbers which makes it easy to pinpoint other cases dealing with the particular issue that is being researched (Teshima, 1999). Ruetgers-Nease Chemical Co. Inc. v. Firemen's Ins. of Newark, 566 A.2d 227 (N.J. Super. 1989), is a case where the plaintiff brought declaratory action to establish insurance coverage because of environmental contamination claims that were made against it. The insurance company did not want to cover the claims and moved to dismiss it for lack of jurisdiction. The court denied the motion and affirmed the chemical company’s claim because they have insolvent carriers that provides long-arm jurisdiction in New Jersey. The parallel citation to this case is 236 N.J. Super. 473. By using Kecite I found that the earliest case to cite this one is Rhulen Agency, Inc. v. Alabama Ins. Guar. Ass'n, 896 F.2d 674, 677 (2nd Cir. (N.Y.) 1990). Nine years later it was criticized in the case of Texas Property and Cas...

Now, like many companies who were blind in sweeping cost-cut approach E&F had no choice but seek to make something up (House & Hanges, 2000, pp4.). Following is the introduction of supporting theory behind the case, then before drawing a creative HRD plan, I will give the main reason and consequence of problems in the case. By doing this, I will offer two possible plans and compare them, which will finally lead to the conclusion. 1. Relevant Theory 1.1 Porter’s theory is not the unassailable First of all, it is essential to understand why a single HR usually caused several subsequent effects. It is very clear seem from the case that, in order to get capital to set up E&F’s expansion business plan, E&F’s HR strategy had to be put into harmony with company’s business’s strategy-cost leadership (Brewster & Harris, 2007, pp5-7). After Michael Porter promoted his generic strategy that involved two main parts: differentiation strategy and cost leadership strategy, in several decades had he been denounced about the loopholes...

Step 2: Discuss the Principles of Law Under Section 7(1) of Partnership Act 1895 WA, partnership refers to a structure where two or more persons in a business are acting in common with a view of profit. Partnerships can be formed formally by written agreement which contains the rights and obligations of the partners and facilitates the resolution of disputes within a partnership. However, if the agreement is deficient, Partnership Act will be referred for resolutions. Partnership can also be formed by oral agreement or implied by the conduct of the parties (Harris, Hargovan and Adams, 101-103). Partners in a partnership are in a fiduciary relationship which partners have the duty to act in good faith, including avoid conflicts of interests, not make private profits, not compete with the firm and not disclose confidential information.

...Expected Value and Consumer Choices Argosy University Abstract Consumers’ choices are prey to subtle discrepancies that arise in cognitive accounting and identifying how and when you are susceptible is an important step in improving the decision making process (Tvorik, 2014). This paper will consider why people value gains and losses differently in different circumstances by addressing what mental accounting is and how it impacts consumer decision making; and how a company can take advantage of their consumers’ mental accounting (Tvorik, 2014). This writer will also consider different scenarios from differing points of view; as a marketer and as a consumer. As a marketer, this writer will analyze how I would frame certain decisions to benefit from the disparities in my own cognitive accounting. As a consumer, I will address how to avoid the pitfalls posed by the inequalities of again, my own cognitive accounting (Tvorik, 2014). Mental accounting is a term that describes how people categorize and quantify economic outcomes (Thaler, 1980). This is similar to financial accounting in the way of using a system of debits and credits and affects how people spend and save their money, thus consumer decision-making. Mental accounting determines “when an individual chooses to act or postpone a purchase, how he or she perceives gains and losses, and how timing bears on the individual’s choices” in relation to the three mental buckets: current income, current wealth and future...

...complete an in-house facility orientation. During this orientation, agency nurses receive New York State mandated in-services, such as patient abuse and HIPPA. The nurses also receive specific instruction regarding emergency procedures, medication policy, employee conduct and procedures. However, specific unit policies and procedures, location of specific supplies are not included in the general orientation. Upon completion of the orientation, the agency nurse receives no further orientation or precepting. Thus when an agency nurse enters HCC for their first shift they are functioning independently and with limited knowledge. This is clearly a problem, which varies in degree of potential danger to patients based on the specific unit assignment. For instance, on the 7-3 shift there are 2 nurses per floor, a charge nurse and a secondary nurse. In this situation, new agency nurses have an opportunity to work in close cooperation, ask questions and seek guidance from a more seasoned and knowledgeable nurse. In contrast, the 3-11 and 11-7 shifts consist of a single nurse...
