    Case Fernando Maldonado V. Gateway Hotel Of St. Louis For Negligence

    In this case, the defendant, Fernando Maldonado, sued the plaintiff, Gateway Hotel of St. Louis for negligence after having received a knockout that interfered with his cognitive and motor functioning. Later, Gateway appeals the jury verdict in favor of the appellee on his negligence claims.

    Case Brief of Mccart V. Block

    Mr. McCart opened a tax preparation business and executed a contract with Block to be a district manager, which precluded him from operating a tax business in the same city. McCart then issued the city franchise to his wife. Years later, the wife signed a new franchise agreement, which contained a covenant not to compete. The wife terminated the agreement and H&R Block reissued the franchise; however, McCart continued to operate a tax preparation service in the city. H&R Block filed suit and the trial court enjoined McCart from operating in the city and McCart sought review. The court affirmed because it was not necessary to show that McCart signed the agreement before enjoining him from assisting the breach of the agreement by his wife and the evidence supported the finding that they acted together to breach her agreement with H&R Block.…

    Fabulous Bus 670: Legal Environment Analysis

    Another circumstance that would render the noncompetition clause void would be location or the distance that is covered in the contract. If the Fabulous told the employee that they were not allowed to work for any hotel within the United States for two years, that distance is far too great to be covered by the contract. One thing to keep in mind with contractual law is that there is not a clear line by what is reasonable and what is not. That decision is left up to judicial discretion, and each case is reviewed individually for legality (Secrist,…

    Casefile Method - Answer to Casefile 1.1

    Introduction Collins was hired as Head Chef at the Marrimount Hotel and believed that this job came with the inherent authority to choose his assistant chefs, even though nothing of this was mentioned in the contract for employment. Therefore, when Crest, owner of the Marrimount, attempted to determine Collins 's assistants, Collins quit his job and went to work for the Treadwell Center. The contract It may actually be good for Collins to argue that there was no contract between himself and Crest. First, there was no detailed employment agreement, just a letter signifying the contract terms. The letter referred to itself as a contract lasting for “five years from the signature thereof.” However, presumably it was never signed and therefore never consummated. Secondly, Collins could argue that this is an agreement in violation of the statute of frauds, since it requires more than one year to perform and was not signed. Therefore, if Collins argues that he never signed nor agreed to the contract terms, perhaps he can avoid, altogether, the issues of breach of fiduciary duty and the injunction against working for a competitor. However, it seems evident that both Collins and Crest considered the agreement to be a binding employment contract. This is not merely an oral agreement to be finalized at a later date, as was the case in Tropicana Hotel Corporation v. Speer. Collins demonstrated an immediate intent to be bound by the agreement by moving to New York from Atlanta and performing for a year under the contract. Therefore, since it is likely that the court will find a five-year contract existed and the contract was breached, the question becomes who is liable for the breach? III. Who breached first? The facts are undisputed that Collins left the kitchen upon the hiring of an unacceptable pastry chef. This would likely constitute a breach of…

    Waterview Case Study

    This case occurred in a premier resort called the Waterview and it’s located in the Muskoka District of Northern Ontario. The Waterview snack bar has been the leading tourist destination for several decades. Unfortunately since the premier resort has numerous ownership changes over the years, the quality of professional services and revenue has fallen down sharply. In this challenging situation, the resort’s operation manager Rebecca Boddington promoted a long-time employee Michael Welland to become the snack bar supervisor. At the first time, Michael turned down Boddlington’s promotion offer because he got a better job as a sales associate with good pay and benefits. However since then, Rebecca held a personal grudge against Michael regarding his work behaviors and ability to perform and some unavoidable arguments have come up between them. This serious lack of communication, toxic work environment and frequent disputes between the workers and management has substantially diminished the Waterview’s share in its highly competitive tourism market.…
