This case involved 2 parties, Tom Gentry and John Marsh. These two where in a partnership with each other and they were involved in buying and selling horses. They would buy horses then sell the babies for profit and also just sell the horse as well at many types of auctions. In November 1976 Marsh and Gentry bought these two horses together called Champagne Woman and Excitable lady. In 1978 Marsh and Gentry auctioned off Champagne Lady and Gentry used an anonymous bidder so Marsh wouldn’t find out that he used one to acquire Champagne Lady without telling Marsh. There was a fiduciary relationship between them and he broke it by not telling him because it can alter their profits because of this. When Gentry was supposed to be selling Excitable Lady, he didn’t pay Marsh instead he just didn't tell him. So a couple years down the road, Marsh soon realizes that …show more content…
Gentry was the owner of the Excitable Lady because his name was called when the horse won a race in Churchill Downs in 1981. The main reason Marsh claims he was so upset was because he claims he would have acted much differently if he had know what his partner was up to and how he was essentially trying to buy him out.
When the Courts came to a decision, they reversed the decision of the lower courts and it held that Judge O'Hara stated that Gentry was discreet in his transactions, and did not meet the level of good faith. The judge then also stated that under Kentucky Law he was accountable for his actions and accepted business practices don’t have to constitute a waiver because in most cases the law takes precedent. The overall law determined that Gentry denied Marsh the sole right to know what his partner was going to purchase because Marsh stated that If he knew he would have changed his decision and also said he would not have agreed. He also did not act in good faith because he clearly violated his fiduciary duty to his partner. In my opinion I think that he should have been able to buy out his partner with an anonymous bidder because he would be able to get it at a fair market rate that is not skewed because of his
partner. It is very common in the business world for this to happen, but the only thing I don't like is lying to the other partner because if you are lying to your partner than I don't think you should have been in a partnership in the first place to begin with because you can't trust each other. It will never work as a business if the owners don’t trust each other, which is why I understand the courts decision and agree with both sides of the argument and I am pretty conflicted on this case.
Cruickshank, Garth & Romano is a new real estate appraisal and consulting firm. Richard Romano, a principle of the firm, had just completed a preliminary evaluation of a property for a new client, Watson & Musico. However, his client refuses to accept the appraisal and requested the value be increased by $4.5 million or else they would take their business elsewhere. Richard's decision on his client's estimate could have great impact on Cruickshank, Garth & Romano's success and its ability to develop new clients. The new firm could ill-afford to pass up on doing Watson & Musico's business but Richard also wanted to complete the appraisal according to his best estimate of the current market value of the property. This paper will analyze the ethical issues and alternatives for this case.
The real dispute about the plaintiffs’ rights was focused on whether the fraud exception to the protection afforded to the registered proprietor by s. 184(3)(b) of the Land Title Act had been enlivened by the conduct of Mr Lacy and Mrs Capper as the plaintiffs’ admitted agents or by that of Mr Sultan. On the factual findings I have made, Mr Sultan has not been shown to have acted fraudulently nor to have been the plaintiffs’ agent.

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. However, his wife did sign two of the agreements and she initiated the third agreement on September 14, 2003. Then, two days later on September 16, 2003 Heikklia made changes to two of the agreements by increasing the cost of the parcels, and he changed the closing dates on all three agreements, including add a reservation of mineral rights to all three (Minnesota Court of Appeals, 2005).
Additionally, registration papers were not to be released until Herring paid in full. These provisions gave the Bowmans the ability to recover the horse in case of default on the payments. Thus providing a security interest for the seller until there was no risk of loss.

I was assisting Vince in a deal with a new potential buyer. He offered a structured deal stating that he would authorize his company to pay a higher price, if we report selling the product for a lower price. I don’t want to get caught doing this, because I know it is unlawful. Vince reassured me it was not an uncommon deal, and that the product would still be going for a good price. We even had a solid plan on what to say in the event that people suspected us of doing such a thing. The buyer could get half the money, Vince and I could split the other half and no one would ever know.

There are many different legal concepts throughout the textbook, but one that stands out is the concept of identification. It is defined as “a place when specific goods are designated as the subject matter of a sales or lease contract” (Miller, 2014, pg. 307). This legal concept is important because it gives the buyer the right to insure the goods and the right to recover from third parties who damage the goods” (Miller, 2014, pg. 307). Since this term is very broad and covers a lot of legal ground, it usually presents itself in sales cases. The motorcycle that Timothy Allen owned was the specific good in this case, in that he purchased the motor vehicle and it rightfully belonged to him. But when he committed the crime of using that motor vehicle when trafficking illegal drugs, that good was taken away. Obviously, the parties involved in this case had a difficult time identifying who really owned the motor vehicle, which led to a court

Throughout this journal, one can evaluate that the symbol of the mockingbird is represented by Tom Robinson and Arthur “Boo” Radley. To begin, Tom Robinson’s character arc can be seen to symbolize the concept of the mockingbird. For instance, Tom is a righteous and honorable man. It is repeatedly indicated and proven within the novel that Tom is innocent of his convicted crimes, and that he was falsely accused of his assault on Mayella Ewell. This virtue of Tom aligns with the pure, untarnished description of the mockingbird, as both are innocent creatures. Another reason Tom can be compared to a mockingbird is due to his natural drive to help others. Tom Robinson can be inferred to be a kind and sympathetic man, as he completes a number of
