IE 447 Chapter 3 HW Geovani Baaklini
3-1 Kim is a guest of Ling's Market on business. Because a business is required to take reasonable
precautions to look after its invitees, Ling's market should be held accountable for negligence. In this
situation, the market has a responsibility to ensure the security of its patrons. The manager was aware of
the incoming water and its potential dangers, yet there was no warning sign posted. Ling's Market is
therefore liable to business invitees because it neglected to take the necessary precautions to safeguard
its customers from an anticipated accident.
3-2 The faulty product that hurt Carmen's mother and her belongings was the fault of the manufacturer,
AKI Electronics. Since AKI Electronics is required to use warning signs and symbols when designing and
selling potentially dangerous equipment, Carmen's mother may bring a product liability claim against the
company.
3-3 The golf car lacked lights, and Textron didn't issue a warning against using it after dark on public
roads. Brandon Stroud was aware that nighttime operation of this golf car without headlights can be
hazardous. By accepting the risk, he could have decided against operating it after dark. Textron may raise
this as a defense.
3-4 If I were the judge, I would decide in Kiwanuka's favor. This is since Kiwanuka suffered because of
Bakilana's deliberate infliction of emotional harm.
Her passport was seized, and she was made to work
long hours every day of the week while being isolated. In case she didn't comply, he would be
threatened with deportation. Overall, this is an infringement on Kiwanuka's freedom and fundamental
rights; as a result, Bakilana needs to be held accountable for purposefully causing Kiwanuka to feel bad.
3-5 Jett's distraction from the cab's texting system led to the collision. The product should not distract
the driver, according to the manufacturer's design. The texting system had flaws, and the accident might
have been avoided if it had a different design that didn't divert the user's attention. Therefore, the
producer should create a product that is not flawed or annoying to the user.
3-6 Because Baily was irresponsible and lacked control, this accident happened. The collision could have
been avoided if Baily had turned his car and applied the brakes in a timely manner. Baily would not have
hit Rawls from behind if he had been aware of his surroundings. Baily can be found liable for the
accident due to his carelessness, and Rawls can prevail in the lawsuit.
3-7 Robison was aware of the risks involved in handling the tarpaulin while standing on the load without
any help or safety gear.
He ought to have accepted the risk and taken appropriate precautions, but he
didn't. To hold Robison responsible for his negligence and failure to use the proper safety equipment and
assistance, West Star Transportation Inc. can invoke the doctrine of assumption of risk in defense.
3-8 The manufacturer, Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp., should be held accountable for failing to include
comprehensive written warnings on the product. To raise user awareness, they ought to have listed
lupus-like syndrome as a potential side effect and included a precaution and warning for users with
autoimmune syndrome. Amanda Watts may file a lawsuit to recoup losses brought on using Solodyn.
3-9 1. The laws against improperly interfering with a business relationship and a contractual relationship
conflict. White Plains Coat & Apron Co. should be given preference because it was the first business with
a 5-year contract; however, due to rival Cintas Corp., the clients took advantage of their benefits and left
in the middle of the term.
2. It is acceptable to raise the defense of soliciting business for all purposes. Competitor Cintas Corp.'s
initial goal was to generate revenue and profit. Unintentional indirect effects of the unlawful
interference on White Plains Coat & Apron Co.
