1.To decipher whether the Adelaide Jammers were in fact a partnership, it has to be looked at if the parties involved were ‘persons carrying on a business in common with a view of profit’ as stated in the Partnership Act . Barak Obama and Tania Plebiscik were the original members of the band and created the original contract. The pair did intend to carry on a business as the Adelaide Jammers was not stated to be a one-time performance, which was also shown with the fact that later on the original two decided to add more members to further the success of the band. As in Krizaic v. Ravinder Rohini Pty Ltd the pair had planned and intended to create and carry on this band, thus completing one element of the partnership definition . They also …show more content…
It could be argued that as the amplification equipment had a cost of $5000 that Tania was acting outside of her actual authority as both Tania and Barak had agreed to spend half of their $3000 earnings to purchase the equipment as well as their original agreement that neither party could spend more than $1000 without the others consent. However, Harry would have been under the assumption that Tania did in fact have authority to be making the purchase for the band, meaning Tania was still acting under the scope of both her actual and apparent authority. When the equipment arrived, Barak could have terminated the contract claiming it as an anticipatory breach of contract as Tania overstepped her actual authority but when the equipment arrived along with the bill Barak agreed to the $3000 deposit as he agreed the equipment was a good asset for the band, hence paying part of the bill plus receiving the equipment binds both Barak and Tania to repay Harry the $2000 plus 20% interest per annum for the amplification equipment such as in Molinas v. Smith as Barak essentially ratified the …show more content…
As the tourists were not insured the liability falls onto the Adelaide Jammers to fund their medical bills as the accident was Barak’s fault. However, although Barak was the driver both Barak and Tania are actually liable as under s 10 of the Partnership Act 1891 (SA). As Barak was transporting all members of the band to a performance when the negligent act occurred it would be seen to of happened within the ordinary course of the business as it was something he always did, hence making both Barak and Tania liable for the Tort of Negligence which states that all drivers on roads have a duty of care to other road

Equuscorp’s claims were for “loss and damage” for breach of the loan agreements and for money had and received. The trial judge dismissed Equuscorp’s contractual claim in all eight cases and upheld the restitution claim in two cases.

Axiak v Ingram (2012) 82 NSWLR 36 (Axiak) was extremely pertinent, standing as the “only decision of this court dealing with the construction of the blameless accident provisions of the MACA”. Critically, the case established that ‘non-tortious negligence’ is excluded from the MACA’s definition of “fault” in s3. Such provisions artificially place fault upon the driver in order to secure CTP claims for victims.

The accident is just that -- an accident, one of those frighteningly random events that occasionally disrupt the even flow of daily life, underscoring the innate precariousness of life, our susceptibility to grief and loss and hurt.
In the 2015 AFC Championship Game between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, the Patriots were accused of tampering with their footballs. They allegedly deflated the footballs to 2 PSI below the legal limit, supposedly giving them an unconstituted and illegal advantage. On May 11th, 2015, the National Football League ruled that the Patriots organization was guilty, penalizing them with a 1 million dollar fine, the loss of a first round pick in the 2016 NFL draft, and the loss of a fourth round pick in the 2017 draft. Tom Brady, the quarterback, was personally penalized with a four-game suspension for his involvement in the incident. He claims, however, to be innocent and has been exhausting every possible legal avenue to avoid his punishment.

Australian Rules Football, or Aussie Rules, is hands down the number one sport in Australia, but the majority of the United States of America has never even heard of it. In an effort to change that, a group of people founded the United States Australian Football League (USAFL) in 1997. As of April of 2007, the USAFL had more than 35 teams and nearly 2,000 players across the nation. Although that was a decent amount of growth for the sport, the board members of the USAFL came up with their goals for the next 10 years. Those goals included expanding the league to 10,000 participants, to have one percent of the U.S. population become aware and interested in the sport, and to secure four new league sponsors.

Negligence, as defined in Pearson’s Business Law in Canada, is an unintentional careless act or omission that causes injury to another. Negligence consists of four parts, of which the plaintiff has to prove to be able to have a successful lawsuit and potentially obtain compensation. First there is a duty of care: Who is one responsible for? Secondly there is breach of standard of care: What did the defendant do that was careless? Thirdly there is causation: Did the alleged careless act actually cause the harm? Fourthly there is damage: Did the plaintiff suffer a compensable type of harm as a result of the alleged negligent act? Therefore, the cause of action for Helen Happy’s lawsuit will be negligence, and she will be suing the warden of the Peace River Correctional Centre, attributable to vicarious liability. As well as, there will be a partial defense (shared blame) between the warden and the two employees, Ike Inkster and Melvin Melrose; whom where driving the standard Correction’s van.
In order to critically assess the approach of the courts in allowing damages for pure economic loss in cases of negligence. One must first outline what pure economic loss is and what it consists off. Pure economic loss can be defined as financial loss or damage to one party caused by another party due to their negligence however the negligent act that is carried out is ‘purely’ economic and has no relation to any physical damage caused to any person or property. Numerous cases illustrate pure economic loss and losses that are deemed to be ‘purely economic’ are demonstrated under the Accidents Act 1976.
Before a partnership formation is imminent, the business needs to decide on which type of partnership to form. There are three types of partnerships: (1) general partnerships, (2) limited partnerships, and (3) joint ventures. All three partnerships contain two or more owners, but all partners assume equal division of ownership, liabilities, and profits in a general partnership. Limited partnerships offer limited liability protection based on each partner’s contribution percentage. Joint ventures are classified as general partnerships with limited existence periods. Once a type of partnership has been determined, the business fulfills a series of requirements before the partnership can be successfully formed. The first step is to register
