    Keller V Inland

    • 663 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The facts state that the Keller’s were in need of a industrial dehumidifier to eliminate the hot, humid, foul-smelling air near and around the pool area. Not having much knowledge of the correct size needed for the job, they received two bids. One bid on a 7.5 ton and the other on a 10 ton dehumidifier. Thinking the 7.5 ton would be too small the Keller’s had the president of Inland Metals and a representative for the manufacturer visit the club. Both agreed that the 7.5 would work. Inland then followed up with a letter stating the same information, that the 7.5 ton would work and rid the club of the issues they were having. Once the dehumidifier was installed it did not perform to the standards set by the president of Inland and the manufacturer representative.…

    Originally, Banton’s case was heard in the New South Wales Supreme Court and in 1989, the case was moved to the Dust Diseases Tribunal as this was a more appropriate way of dealing with his case. After Banton was diagnosed with asbestosis, he never gave up on himself as he continued to continuously campaign and bring attention and awareness to the general public about asbestos related diseases. The issues that had arrised in the Banton case was that his boss James Hardie owed not only Banton but his other employees a duty of care. Hardie knew about the dangers of asbestos and let his employees work at his company without access to any protective clothing while on the job and did nothing about this incident. Bantons whole view on this event that occurred in his life was that something needed to be done about this so he took James Hardie to court to fight for his…

    (TCO A, C) Jim worked for AAA Job Shop, Inc. for over 30 years. Two months before Jim retired, the head of human resources told Jim that the company would pay for health insurance for Jim and his wife for the remainder of his life, and for his wife’s life if she were to survive him, and handed Jim a letter from the company describing this. Jim had always known that the company provided this benefit to a few of its select employees. Jim didn’t really expect that he would receive it, although he had secretly hoped so for some time. Four years after retirement, Jim contracted cancer and incurred substantial medical bills under his insurance plan. Jim then received a letter from his former employer saying that the employer was discontinuing its payment of health insurance for those retirees who were receiving this benefit. Jim is considering suing the company to force it to live up to its agreement. Discuss the issues and likely resolution of Jim’s case.…

    Annette Hurst, an attorney for Dish said that the decision unequivocally showed that advertisements were a financing mechanism, but they were not part of the copyrighted work. Additionally, Corynne McSherry, an attorney of the Electric Frontier Foundation, made a statement that the holding was "a victory for fair use and consumer choice," and ensures that "technology makers can develop and offer new tools and services without fear of crippling liability where those tools and services are capable of substantial non-infringing uses." However, David Singer, an attorney for Fox, and other legal professionals pointed out that the result might be changed in succeeding trials because the Ninth Circuit applied a "deferential standard of review" to the request for a preliminary injunction, which required the plaintiff a very high bar to be…

    When multiple children in the city of Woburn contracted leukemia amongst other diseases, the parents believed that it was because of contamination from the local wells. The parents wanted an apology from the people that ruined their lives, so they filed a lawsuit. Jan Schlichtmann, a personal injury lawyer, was asked to be the lead attorney on the case. He first went in looking for a settlement. He commented on how the point of civil court is to settle. “They settle. Out of the 780,000, only 12,000 or 1 1/2 percent ever reach a verdict. The whole idea of lawsuits is to settle, to compel the other side to settle.”[1] When corporations have a lawsuit filed against them, they don’t make that big of a deal out of it because there’s not a full case…

    Tabet Vs Gett Case Study

    • 1533 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The case concerned an appeal of a medical negligence case regarding a child who was misdiagnosed until a CT scan revealed that she, in fact, had a brain tumour . The treating physician was then subsequently sued on the basis that since the physician had not performed the CT scan when the child had been misdiagnosed . Therefore the child had lost the chance to have the brain tumour treated before the sustaining of permanent brain damage . At first instance, the case succeeded but failed on appeal . Additionally, the High Court also rejected the claim, on the basis that there were no policy reasons that would allow for recovery of damages based on a less than even chance of a better medical outcome . In spite of this, the High Court did not eliminate the possibility that a claim in a future medical case above the purported 50% standard would be allowed . Meanwhile, the case of Tabet v Gett (2010) demonstrates that patients that suffer as a result of medical negligence in Australia will face large injustice issues specifically in cases of late diagnosis. Therefore, it is only fitting to highlight the High Court’s stance on commercial chances where the High Court rejected the appellant’s argument that the fact that Australia already recognises loss of chance in commercial cases means that loss…
