1. Xavier wrote to YY stating, “I hear you have a Nokia 7600 mobile
for sale. I would be interested in buying it for $2,000 if it is in
good condition.”
2. YY wrote back to Xavier, “I agree to sell the phone to you but
there are still a few things which need doing to it before it is fully
usable.” However, the letter was lost in the post.
3. Xavier wrote a week later stating, “As I have not heard from you I
assume the price was not enough. Will you accept $3,000?”
4. YY replied by e-mail to Xavier’s e-mail address in her office
saying, “I accept the offer.” Unfortunately, Xavier was away and did
not check her e-mails and three weeks later returned to check the
e-mails and found the message from YY. Meanwhile, YY having heard
nothing sold the phone to Tommy for $2,500.

Synopsis
l To advise Xavier, needed to consider whether or not a contract had
been formed with YY.
l In order to determine whether there are contract formed, it is
necessary to conduct the traditional analysis of offer and acceptance.
l Was Xavier’s written statement, e.g. letter to YY to be an offer or
an invitation to treat [Gibson v. Manchester City Council (1979) and
Storer v. Manchester City Council (1974)] or a preliminary statement
as to price [Clifton v. Palumbo (1944)] or request information [Harvey
v. Facey (1893)]?

... offer in the
same via written statement/letter. Instead of communication by post,
YY used the simultaneous method of communication by e-mail, so YY’s
acceptance would be ineffective, unless it actually reached Xavier
(offeror) [Entores v. Miles Far East Corporation (1955)].
l YY as offeree used e-mail to reply his acceptance, YY should require
to take additional step to ensure Xavier actually received his
message, i.e. by making phone call directly to Xavier. Because postal
rule did not apply to this kind of simultaneous method by e-mail to
communicate the offer.
l Under this circumstance, there is no communication and the exception
did not apply (by postal rule), YY has not validly accepted Xavier’s
offer. On balance, no contract arises in this situation and YY is at
liberty to sell the mobile phone to Tommy.
Nearly every aspect of law enforcement has a court decision that governs criteria. Most court rulings are the result of civil lawsuit towards a police officer and agency. However, currently, there is no law that mandates law enforcement driver training. When it comes to firearms, negligence by officers has resulted in a multitude of court rulings. Popow v. City of Margate, 1979, is a particularly interesting case that outlines failed firearms training by an agency. In this case, an officer chasing a suspect during a foot pursuit fired at the suspect, striking and killing an innocent bystander (Justia.com, 2017). The court ruled that the agency was “grossly negligent” of “failure to train” (Justia.com, 2017). As a result, nearly every agency requires annual firearms training and has written policy concerning the same. Officers must show proficiency in firearms use every year to maintain their certification. Many states even impose fines on officers for
In this essay, I will be examining how the court system can fail to deliver justice for particular cases and people’s circumstances, as well as looking at alternatives to court, like circle sentencing, restorative sentencing and alternatives for children to the formal court system, as outlined in the Young Offenders Act 1997 (NSW). Crime is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as an action or omission which constitutes an offence and is punishable by law. On the other side of this is justice; the quality of being fair and reasonable.
It is in the best interest of Athletic Directors and coaches to know how the rule of law pertains to athletics, physical education classes and recreation as our society today has become very litigious (Wolohan, 2013). In the case where a tort or wrongful act in which an injury occurred, whole departments, institutions, along with the individual who are in charge of oversight may be sued for negligence (Wolohan, 2013). In the past, it usually was just the individual who needed to be concerned. Hence, because of the increase in civil tort suits associated with athletics which are being brought to our court system to be resolved, sports law has become a major course of study at our colleges and universities (Wolohan, 2013). Therefore, having knowledge of what is or is not a tort, may be helpful to sports administrators in how they manage staff and facilities. Furthermore, the three types of common torts that affect athletic departments are negligence, intentional negligence, and defamation. Hence, examining each further may be helpful to athletic administrators and staff in preventing civil tort law suits.
The entire criminal justice system can be very frightening and even intimidating if someone fails to understand the meaning of terms used, procedures, laws, and rules (Cook, 2009). Criminal law is among the terms that have been defined differently by various sources. It is mainly concerned with a system of legal rules defining actions that are classified as crimes and the manner of which the government prosecutes people who commit crimes (Snyman, 2014). According to the chapter, some sources use it in a way that is very general that describes it as the entire spectrum of laws that deal with the criminal justice system while others use shorthand ways which terms it as substantive criminal law, which is very true.
I was initially inclined to address the evidential issue of suspect identification, encapsulated in the Turnbull principles as Chrissie caught only a ‘brief glimpse’ of the attackers face. However, instructing solicitors have advised that presently, this is not germane.

Is the Legal Justice System racially biased or the unequal incarceration rate is a result of crimes committed and not racial bias? A study shows back in 2014 showed that black Americans served time in jail while awaiting trial. But according to “other research suggests that this disparity is often due to the fact that black defendants cannot afford to pay bail”. Which there is an accurate example, due to the fact the majority of the African American population lives in poverty in the United States . Nevertheless, how do you explain black Americans is being given longer sentences than white Americans for the same crimes.

Marketing is a system of business activates designed to plan, price, promote and distribute want-satisfying products, services and ideas to customers in order to achieve business objectives.
