Nix v. Hedden was a Supreme Court case that took place in 1893 which argued about whether the tomato should be classified as a fruit or a vegetable. The dispute began when Nix was importing tomatoes to the New York City port where Hedden was working as a collector of import taxes. Due to the Tariff Act of 1883 a tax needed to be paid on vegetables, but not for fruits. Nix filed a lawsuit against Edward Hedden in order to reclaim the money he had paid to ship the tomatoes; He claimed that since tomatoes are a fruit he should not have had to pay a duty. The Supreme Court decides that Hedden was justified in taxing the tomatoes because in everyday terms the tomato was called a vegetables. United States v.

On August 13, 2009, in South Dakota, a police officer was called to investigate parked near a store that was said to be driven by a woman with several cats. The back window view was blocked by the cats, which there were fifteen of. The woman’s name was Patricia Edwards and she had stopped in South Dakota on her way to Texas with her cats freely roaming around in the back. The officer said the cats should be impounded because of how they blocked her view and could lead to future wrecks. The case was appealed to the court because Edwards didn’t think it was fair of the officer to take her cats away from her when she rightfully owned them. The case was named South Dakota v. Fifteen Impounded Cats. Edwards won. It was seen as wrongful to take her cats away from her and she did not violate and laws while driving.

McLaughlin v. Heikkila is a case that involves Wilbert Heikklia and David Mc Laughlin who entered into an agreement involving eight parcels to be sold to Mr. Mc Laughlin by Mr. Heikklia. According to Cheeseman (2013), the facts of the case indicate that Mr. Mc Laughlin submitted offers to Mr. Heikklia for the purchase of three parcels and afterwards, McLaughlin submitted earnest-money checks and three printed purchase agreements to Heikklia. According to the Minnesota Court of Appeals, McLaughlin himself never signed any of the agreements.

On the other hand, some people would lobby that Ford did nothing wrong releasing the Pinto early and knowing it had a major safety flaw. There was no National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rear-end impact standards at the time,(DeGeorge 298) so Ford did not break any safety laws. Also, Ford was found innocent of criminal homicide in the Ulrich case.(Waters) Even though both of these statements are true, before the release of the Pinto, Ford was an active lobbyist against new safety standards; this is a big red flag. (Trevion, 66) Ford may have won in the Ulrich case, but they lost many other cases including Grimshaw vs. Ford Motor Co. (Ford Pinto)
