    Case Study: Serratos V. Tyson Foods

    Unfortunately, a corporation can be charged and convicted of any number of crimes. If the employees or officers within a corporation violate the law on behalf of the corporation and within the scope of their employment, the corporate entity would be open to criminal charges. Corporations can be convicted of criminal wrongdoing in the same manner individuals are charged and convicted. In addition, individuals within the corporation can be charged as well. Commonly, when a corporation is charged, many of the top officers will be charged along with the corporation as an entity.…

    Bhm443 Mod 4 Case (Tu()

    Corporations, by legal charter, are not a single entity and do not have a central owner; however, this does not keep corporations from being liable for criminal actions or criminal liability. Corporate criminal liability in law determines to what extent a corporation, basically a fictitious entity, can be held liable for acts and omissions of actual people that the corporation employs. In 1909, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a corporation “could be held criminally liable for the acts, omissions, or failures of an agent acting within the scope of his employment” (Carrasco & Dupee, 1999). Corporations themselves cannot do actions and so criminal liability falls to the employees of the corporation and two elements comprise criminal violations by corporate employees; intent and the guilty act. Carrasco and Dupee (1999), state, “For a corporation to be liable, the employee committing the illicit act must be acting within the scope of her employment”. This requirement is generally met if the employee has actual or apparent authority to engage in the particular act in question and the corporation can give either direct authority or authority through perceived authority (Carrasco & Dupee, 1999). Under federal law, a corporation is criminally responsible for the actions of any of its employees taken within the scope of their employment for the benefit of the corporation. It makes no difference whether the employees’ conduct violates corporate policy or contravenes explicit instructions not to engage in the conduct (Hasnas, 2006). Under this presumption and law of corporate criminal responsibility “there is nothing a corporation can do to ensure that it is not guilty of a criminal offense. Corporate managers know that no matter how good their firm’s internal controls, they cannot guarantee that there will be no intentional or inadvertent violations of law by its employees” (Hasnas, 2006). If an employee is…

    Business Law

    There are certain types of cases that a director/officer can be liable. In this case, Greg Allen was found liable for damages just as his corporation was, however it was later vacated because the court determined that corporate officers are not generally liable for contractual obligations. Later, the court reversed the judgment that Greg Allen was not individually responsible. Liability of shareholders is determined by common law and generally, officers are not liable for torts committed by its agents. Agents that commit a tortious act (criminal, punishable, etc.), however, can be personally liable along with the principle. For this case, the agent, Greg Allen, was accused of negligence and the Estelle’s’ filed a suit against him as well as the corporation. According to Miller & Jentz, the corporation is liable for torts committed by its agents or officers within the scope of their employment. The liability would fall on the corporation because the agent, Greg, was directly working within the scope of his employment at the Estelle’s. The court ruled that the breach of contract fell on Greg Allen Construction and eventually retracted stating Greg Allen himself should have also been liable due to Greg participating in the negligent conduct. Since the duty of the agent was to work in an appropriate manner and…

    Piercing the corporate veil is not the only means by which a director or officer of a corporation can be held liable for the actions of the corporation. Liability can be established through conventional theories of contract, agency, or tort law. For example, in situations where a director or officer acting on behalf of a corporation personally commits a tort, he and the corporation are jointly liable and it is unnecessary to discuss the issue of piercing the corporate veil. The doctrine is often used in cases where liability is found, but the corporation is insolvent.…

    This paper will include what the insanity statutes are in Ohio, the state that I live in. I will also talk about how often the insanity defense is used in the United States. As well as how successful this defense is. I will also discuss if psychologists should give their ultimate opinion in regards to sanity cases as well as the ethical issues that may rise from their opinions. Lastly, I will discuss how difficult it is to provide adequate psychological care for mentally ill patients while they are incarcerated in prison. The care they would have received had they been institutionalized in a mental hospital instead would have resulted in fewer deaths.…

    Criminal Law, Offences against property, arrest and detention.

    A person is guilty of theft if he or she dishonestly appropriates property without the consent of its owner, with the intention of depriving the owner of it. If the person believes they have the owner’s consent, if the owner knew of the assumption of the property and the circumstances in which it was taken then the crime theft does not come into play here. However, if consent obtained by deception or intimidation, this is not consent. The mens rea of theft consists of dishonesty and intention to permanently deprive…
