    Those familiar with skiing know that there are risks involved when one chooses to participate in the sport. Those risks, however, should be associated with self-inflicted harm caused by mistakes that a skier may make and not unforeseen obstacles and dangerous situations. The injuries sustained by Alex Johnson on the slopes at Bethlehem Ice Solutions (BIS) were not self-inflicted; far from it. They were the result of negligence on the part of BIS who failed to mark boundaries that separates the slopes and caused Craig to crossover onto another slope, walking directly into Alex’s path and colliding into him, causing severe bodily harm.…

    8. Sears, Roebuck and Co promised to give Forrer permanent employment, so he sold his farm at a loss to take the job. But shortly after beginning work, he was discharged by Sears who claimed the contract could be terminated at will. Forrer claimed that the promissory estoppel prevented Sears form terminating the contract. Under promissory estoppel a promisor may be prevented from asserting that their promise is unenforceable because the promise gave no consideration for the promise. This is applicable when the promisor makes a promise that lacks consideration, and intends or should reasonably expect that the promise will rely on the promise and in fact does, and that the enforcement of the promise is the only way to avoid injustice. In this case, promissory estoppel did not prevent Sears from terminating the contract. Generally speaking, a contract for permanent employment that provides no additional considerations (such as something benefitting the employer) for employment amounts to just a general hiring that is terminable at the will of either party. The promise was fulfilled once the relationship between Forrer and Sears was established, and no additional benefit to Sears was provided.…
