Description ASSIGNMENT NUMBER 2 ASSIGNMENT NUMBER 1 What recent (2015-until present) breach of contract case have you heard about on the radio, on T.V. , online, or read about? (No class actions, or breach of credit card/identity cases! Also, go deeper into your searches so you all don't do the same case.) For this assignment, please do the following: 1. Summarize the case - one paragraph (who sued whom, for what? In other words what are the terms of the contract the plaintiff is claiming have been breached. Does the defendant state any defense?) 2. What part of the lawsuit represents compensatory damages? What part consequential damages? Were there any punitive damages awarded and if so state why the case merited punitive damages. (In your response please note the difference between compensatory and consequential damages - these are not the same and have specific legal definitions. You must address and define each type of damages listed herein, including punitive damages, whether or not they apply to the case.) 3. Do the amounts seem fair based on the facts of the case? Why, why not? You can find information at google news, or google: "Find Articles for Breach of Contract cases". Post your response. (Repeat the questions and number your responses.) Note, that although this is in a discussion format there is no need to comment on any of your classmates' posts. I will be commenting on your posts and assigning points based on following these instructions (10 points) and the thoroughness and quality of your responses (40 points), especially #2 - read these instructions carefully and address each part in your response. ASSIGNMENT NUMBER 2 For this assignment, please read the chapters indicated at each AREA below and then post three (3) things you learned about Negotiable Instruments; three (3) things you learned about Agency; and three (3) things you learned about Employment Law (see below for full instructions.) Negotiable Instruments/Agency/Employment Law Area A: Negotiable Instruments: Chapters 25 and 28 Area B: Agency: Chapters 32 and 33 Area C: Employment Law: Chapters 34 and Chapters 35 Instructions: Please repeat each AREA (not the chapter references) followed by your responses (1, 2, 3.) This assignment will be graded on the completeness of your responses in each area. Do not just name what you have learned (e.g., "I learned that in employment law employees are at-will, unless they have a contract) - your response must contain a complete answer which means defining and explaining the concepts you have learned (at-will is defined as ..., and then further explain the difference between at-will and how having a contract protects employees). You must have three complete paragraphs for each area. Grammar and spelling count, please edit your work. Points will be deducted for not following these instructions and for not defining and explaining each concept.
