    Business Law: Southern Prestige Industries, Inc. vs. Independence Plating Corp.

    The plaintiff (Southern Prestige Industries, Inc.) initiated an action against the defendant (Independence Plating Corp.) in a North Carolina state court for a breach of contract. The plaintiff alleged that defects in the defendant’s anodizing process caused the plaintiff’s machine parts to be rejected by Kidde Aerospace. The defendant being a New Jersey corporation and having its only office and all of its personnel situated in the state filed a motion to dismiss citing lack of personal jurisdiction. The trial court denied the motion and the defendant appealed arguing that there were insufficient contacts to satisfy the due process of law requirements necessary to subject the defendant to the personal jurisdiction of North Carolina’s courts. The appellate court affirmed the trial court’s decision stating that due to the nature of the ongoing relationship between the parties the defendant had sufficient minimum contacts within North Carolina to justify the exercise of personal jurisdiction over the defendant without violating due process.…

    Us V. Fior D'Italia, Inc.

    Restaurant challenged use by the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) of aggregate method to determine, assess, and collect its share of Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) taxes on tips received by its employees. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California, 21 F.Supp.2d 1097, granted summary judgment for restaurant, and IRS appealed. The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, 242 F.3d 844, affirmed, and certiorari was granted. The Supreme Court, Justice Breyer, held that: (1) the law authorized the IRS to base its assessment upon its aggregate estimate of all the tips that the restaurant 's customers paid its employees; (2) such a method is not precluded by negative implication from statutes which authorize the IRS to use methods of estimation for determining income tax liability and which authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to adopt regulations that prescribe mechanisms for employers to adjust FICA tax liability; (3) fact that an aggregate estimate will sometimes include tips that should not count in calculating the FICA tax the employer owes did not render use of that method unreasonable; (4) regulation which says that an employer, when calculating its FICA…

    Nike Ethics Case Study

    For Nike, labor and human rights continues to be a top priority and corporate concern. Ethics is essential in crisis communication. Nike’s sweatshop labor crisis demonstrates the importance of ethics. To defend its practices and public reputation during this crisis, Nike responded to allegations in ethical ways, employing truthfulness and transparency, disclosing their corporate social responsibility statements, including a fair employee treatment and a labor report, and commissioning external investigations for the company’s foreign workers (Kim, 2015). Nike’s response is an example of “contingency thinking” (Schermerhorn et al., 2012) and resulted in the company developing its own code of conduct. Eventually, Nike’s ethical…

    Case Analysis of Crawford vs. Washington

    Cross-examination is critical during litigation. Many cases have to be proven based on solely witness testimony because of the lack of physical evidence. Therefore, the responsibility of a witness to tell the truth relies on methods to encourage witnesses to maintain their credibility. According to Gardner and Anderson in their book Criminal Evidence: Principles and Cases, the witnesses must take an oath or affirmation that their say will be true and the witnesses must be personally present at the trial in order to ensure the right to confront as stated in the Sixth Amendment. Finally, witnesses are subject to cross-examination. But if it is found that the witness lies, he or she is taking the risk to be charged with perjury or in contempt if the witness refuses to answer a question, unless it is protected by privilege (Gardner and Anderson, 2010).…

    Supreme Court Case Study

    That the Supreme Court exercises a policy making role has been an established fact ever since Maybury vs. Madison defined the Court’s role in judicial review of existing law. By choosing which cases to review and by establishing precedents by way interpretation of a law’s meaning and applicability the Court influences the course of action adopted not only by government but by individuals and businesses who consider the implications of the Court’s actions. In adjudicating disagreements of alternative interpretations of a law the Supreme Court establishes policies which have implications extending beyond the specific case in question and into social policy at large. In choosing which cases to review the Court calls attention to certain issues…
