  • Case Study: Civil Law And My Interest In It

    923 Words  | 2 Pages

    Civil law is interesting to me because it protects the private rights of all, and in this nation’s current state, I think that’s as important as ever. Compared to common laws, these laws are put in place based off rules and codes that are established. I’ve had experience in the civil law by owning and operating a business. Due to the laws and practices that are in place, it’s easy for me to run my operation. Another situation that I’ve found myself in dealing with civil law is when I was attempting to break a lease due to miswording in a signed contract. This was a long process, but in the end, I won the case due to them adjusting their contract without their customer’s knowledge.

Since the company was a defendant in twenty-five lawsuits for injuries and one death in the Calles case, they should be required to rethink their product design and come up with solutions to prevent injuries and deaths in the future. Even the loss of one life is too much. As part of evidence, Calles presented statistics about deaths and injuries because of fires started by children. She also explained that a lighter with a child-resistant safety device would reduce the cost which society would incur for the damages, deaths, and injuries (“Calles v. Scripto-Tokai Corp., 864 N.E.2d 249, 224 Ill. 2d 247”).
