ASHFORD BUS 670 Week 1 Legal Underpinnings of Business Law

Breach of contract is when a business contract creates an obligation that is to be full filled by people or companies that enter into an agreement.   By law a party’s failure to complete the bargain which is under contract is known as a breach of contract. With regard to the specifics of the contract a breach can happen when a party fails to perform on time or does not perform at all according to the terms of the agreement. Breach of contract is categorized as material or immaterial to determine the appropriate legal solution or remedy for the breach (Retures 2012).

ASHFORD BUS 670 Week 2 DQ 2 Product Liability

After viewing the Chinese Imports & Food Safety Video, consider whether U.S. retailers that utilize products or raw ingredients that are imported from China and that are poorly regulated should be liable in tort for injuries to consumers who are harmed by those products. Answer parts 1 and 2 of the following question:

1. Answer part a or part b

a. If U.S. companies should not be liable, then they could be legally exempt from tort liability. Discuss the consequences of such a policy to U.S. consumers.

b. If the U.S. companies should be liable, then those companies would not be legally exempt from tort liability. Discuss the consequences of such a policy to U.S. businesses.

2. Regardless of your response to part 1 of this question, assume that U.S. retailers do have legal liability for defective products. What steps could U.S. retailers and manufacturers take, when using products imported from China that would minimize their liability exposure? For example, they could warn consumers about the potential, though speculative, dangers when using products comprised of poorly regulated ingredients or components.

ASHFORD BUS 670 Week 3 Elements of a Contract

Elements of a Contract. The paper must be four to five pages, excluding the title page and references page(s), and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Address all of the following parts of this assignment:

Suppose that the Fabulous Hotel hires you as head chef under a two-year employment contract. After two years, another hotel wants to hire you. However, in the original employment contract you signed with the Fabulous Hotel, the following paragraph appears: “The below-signed agrees not to work as a chef for another hotel in the same metropolitan area for a period of two years after leaving our employ.”

Identify which elements of contract must exist for this agreement to be enforceable. At a minimum, your paper must include a detailed description of the concepts of offer, acceptance, legal consideration, capacity, and legality of purpose. Is this contract governed by common law or the UCC? Why? Discuss under which circumstances this non-compete agreement would be unenforceable.

The economy is structured on the freedom to draw up a contract with a system of laws that can be enforced.   Contracts that are freely entered into are not always read carefully by the signer. The signer may not be aware of the elements required to make the contract enforceable.  For example if the Fabulous Hotel hires you as head chef under a two year employment contract.  If you don’t read the contract carefully then you will not know that in the small print it says “The below signed agrees not to work as a chef for another hotel in the same metropolitan area for a period of two years after leaving our employ”. Therefore, you can’t work for another hotel in the same metropolitan area for two years there are several items that makes this contract enforceable (Seaquist, G. and Coulter, K.)
