Question 1
Issue
James wants to sue the Happy Holiday Hotel for the loss of his stuff because of the theft of his belongings by someone of the stuff.
Rule of law
Under the rules governing exemption clauses, an exemption cannot be introduced into a contract after the contract has been made. Based on the Exemption Clauses in Common law, clauses cannot be introduced after the contract has been made that shown in Olley v Marlborough Court (1949).
However, based to Spurling vs Bradshaw(1956), there is an exception that says past dealing are not considered as part of contract. It is called an exclusion clauses only if parties are involved have records of past dealings. An exception says that if the parties have had a history of previous dealings, then the person to be bound by the exemption clause may be sufficiently aware of it at the time of making the latest contract.
Application
It is considered when guests check in to the hotel for the first time, they must know the hotel is not responsible for valuables loss. In case if these are not given to the front desk for safe keeping their stuff, but guests maybe do not know about the exemption clause. In this example in case of losses their belongings, guests have the right to sue the hotel because they stay in a hotel for a first time, which is the most important and also, because of responsibility of the hotel conducted. In James case, the hotel is not responsible for his losses as he is a frequent visitor to Singapore and have always stayed at this particular hotel. Therefore the low of past dealing does not justify James and it is not possible to sue the hotel for him.
Conclusion
Based on the discussion I would say that James was

    In the movie, A Civil Action, the plaintiff’s case commenced when a group of various parents and families suspected that the health related issues and deaths in their city of Woburn was the result of contaminated water. Although the attorney, Jan Schlichtmann, was reluctant to take the case at first because they didn’t have plausible cause “who is going to apologize to you when you don’t know who did it and pay me” [1], he perceived that 2 corporations sat on the border of the river. Mr. Schlichtmann and his firm thus took the case and filed a major lawsuit, which stated that that the two corporations, W.R Grace and Beatrice Foods, caused wrongful deaths due to the dumping of hazardous waste.”Lawsuits are a declaration of war. They begin the same way: with a complaint” [1]. The…

    Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, W.R. Grace and Beatrice foods have polluted the aquifer located under East Woburn. There is no question of this, as testimony from workers such as Al Love show that they have spilled, poured and dumped TCE, or Trichloroethylene. Mr. Reilly testified that he should have known what was happening on the 15 acres of property he leased out to the Whitney barrel company. By dumping TCE and other chemicals onto the ground, these companies introduced these harmful substances into the environment, particularly the aquifer underneath. These chemicals are not industrial revolution chemicals; they are modern, harmful chemicals that have adverse health affects.…
