Assessment Description:
We recommend a minimum total of TEN statute and case references per
question. Work that includes sources that are not properly referenced
according to the “Harvard Referencing Workbook” will be penalised. Question
One: 10% 800 words Answers must be supported by case and statute
references. You need to closely consider Chapters 6, 7, 8, where relevant.
Angela enters into negotiations with Jessica to purchase her restaurant. During their discussions,
Angela asks Jessica what are the annual profits of the restaurant. Jessica tells her that ‘the
restaurant has been making $10,000 per year in profits’. She hands her a box of papers and says
‘Here are the accounts, you can check for yourself if you like’.
Angela trusts Jessica and only checks the accounts for 2007, which do show profits of $10,000.
Relying on what she has told them, Angela decides to purchase the business. However, after a few
months, when business is very slow, she has another look at the accounts and realises that the
business has only been making $2,000 per year for the last 5 years (since 2008).
Advise Angela of her common law rights.
Questions two: 15% 1200 words Answers must be supported by case and
statute references. You need to closely consider Chapters 5,
Sandra Smith purchased a carton of cola from her local corner store. The following week, on a very
hot day her husband, Andy, took a can from the refrigerator and drank it. He became violently ill
and was rushed to hospital where he remained for three days. On closer inspection of the contents
of the can it was found to contain the remains of a cockroach. The family faced large medical
expenses, a problem exacerbated because neither parent could work in their casual jobs for a
week.
The corner store has gone out of business due to bankruptcy and the family wishes to sue the
Australian manufacturer, Acme Cola Company Ltd. Advise the Smiths as to their chances if they
were to sue Acme for negligence.
References must follow the Harvard referencing style. Refer to the Academic Learning Skills
handout on Report writing. Please see Academic Learning skills staff for assistance with this, or any
assignment.
