Business Torts Introduction Criminal wrongs require guilty parties to pay a debt to society through a fine, imprisonment, and/or community service. However, criminal wrongs also have victims who have suffered financial losses, injuries, and, sometimes, permanent disabilities. Those who are harmed by the conduct of others are the victims of torts. Torts are civil wrongs that provide remedies. This chapter answers these questions: What are the different types of torts? What must you prove to recover for these torts? What are the business and public policy issues in torts?

He then posted the picture of S.E. on his Flickr account with the caption, “Everything that’s wrong with America.” The photograph is a side shot of S.E. drinking a large soda. S.E. was diagnosed at birth with Down Syndrome and individuals with Down Syndrome have significantly higher incidence of problems with the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands than the general population, resulting ease in weight gain. The post went viral for eight years and several reposts were made, using the photograph of S.E. Valentin Chmerkovskiy, a celebrity professional dancer, best known for his television appearances on Dancing with the Stars, posted on his public Facebook page a meme of the photograph with the caption “Letting your kid become obese should be considered child abuse,” an image viewed by more than a quarter million of Mr. Chmerkovskiy’s followers. Mr. Chmerkovskiy also posted on his Facebook page the following statement regarding the Photograph: “I am truly sorry for the lack of sensitivity … but on some level I have to agree. … You’re handicapping your kid, and they’re defenseless. They don’t know better, that’s why you’re there … anyway I’m just a childless preacher, but here’s some food for thought. #nopunintended.” S.E.’s mother filed suit against Chmerkovskiy and CBS, the platform for the posts. What would be the basis of the suit? Could S.E. and her mother recover? Chapter 16. Management of Employee Conduct: Agency Introduction All businesses have a common thread: employees. They need them, rely on them, pay them, and give them authority to perform certain business tasks. This chapter focuses on that delegation of authority and these questions: When does an employee act on behalf of an employer? How much authority does an employee have? What duties and obligations do employees owe employers? When is a business liable for an employee’s acts?

Doris remained a resident of the nursing home until she died on February 27, 2014. On May 5, 2015, Jeanette Alexander, another of Doris’s children, filed suit against United Health Services of Georgia for claims of negligence, wrongful death, and malpractice. United Health filed a motion to dismiss and compel arbitration. The trial court held that there was no valid arbitration agreement because Doris had not signed the agreement and Carol did not have a power of attorney. United Health appealed. Did Carol have authority to sign for her mother? Classmate post: Tameshia Brothers Hello Class, Agency law terminology: Nature of Agency- Agency is a lawful connection where a principal appoints an agency to act on their behalf and under their control (1). Principal- The individual that the agent acts as a representative of. Agent- The individual who acts on the authority of the principal. Master Servant- A master servant bond is classified as a connection where one person has power over another individual (2). Independent Contractor- A employee hired to complete a work project but is indirectly managed. Agency law- Restatement of Agency- Common law administered by most judges in the court of law. Creating the agency relationship: When the principal employs and individual. Express Authority Agency- the agent has the power to take any legal action requested by the principals. Also, written, or oral agreements must be put in writing, if necessary, by the statue of frauds. Principal must have legal capacity: Individual must be mentally competent and age appropriate. Capacity: unincorporated Associations Do Not Have Capacity Have no lawful presence. Associates will be held accountable since there is no principal. Capacity of agents becomes an issue when it concerns: Power to enter a legal obligation. Probable legal responsibility to third parties’ participants Implied Authority: The expansion of express power by custom. Apparent Authority: when an agent’s applicable authorities extend to business deals that they are not supposed to undertake, but a third party is not aware of this. Agency by ratification- Principal evaluations a contract decides to honor through the agent had no permission to be involved in. Three parts of Agency law: Agency law involves studying three different areas which include the first deals with building the agency connection. Next includes the relation between agents and principals. And, lastly, the final area consists of the bond between principals, agents, and third parties (1). This area of law applies to the given scenario- As independent contractors the business owner friends are hired as such as independent contractors where they are employees, but the individuals are indirectly employed and managed by the business owner as the boss. Everyone is hired to complete a certain task or duties. As well the business owner has a relationship with his friends, a third party where there is already a connection, and the capacity of agents may become an issue when it concerns probable legal responsibilities of third-party participants. How does the scope of employment factor into legal liability for Leo’s actions? An individual scope of employment factors into legal liability by providing appropriate training, their job description, and duties the employee is supposed to perform regularly. Also, conflict of interest with hiring family management should take responsibility for and proceed with steps to alleviate conflict of interest and ensure clarity. More, importantly the supervisor should avoid discrimination and treat each employee fairly and equally, As well the boss should have proper employment contracts for each worker hired and comply with laws with fair treatment, pay, hours worked, and have accurate taxes withheld. And these factors mentioned should be exercised when employees are making decisions so that any serious mistakes are not costly to the company. And, have more merchandise than what is expected or needed. If Leo was an employee-at-will- can you fire him? What legal exceptions exist to the EAW? Yes, management can fire Leo if the reasoning is not illegal such as retaliation, discrimination, or violate the fair labor standards act or family or medical leave act. Different states have different laws, and most states go by an implied contract where an employee cannot be terminated without compelling cause. And consequently, if employment laws are not followed and an employee is terminated illegally the employer can face fines or penalties (3). If the employee in the scenario is an employee-at-will what does this mean and what are the exceptions to firing and employee at will? An employer cannot terminate, and employee based on race, color, religion, disability, age, national origin, or genetic information. In addition, an employee may not be terminated for not doing something illegal or exercising their rights. Also, an employee may not terminate in good faith or an implied contract which may be oral or written in the companies’ policies (3). Case: Fourth Circuit Determines that Internal Complaint May Support Claim for wrongful discharge in violation of North Carolina Public Policy October October 4th, 2024 Facts: Employees claim that they were discharged from employment for retaliation for professional duties and standards of care described by the law. One individual needed heightened care due to mental health concerns which included needed medical services that were critical to the employee’s care stated by their mental health counselor but was denied heightened care by the assistant director of the company. Unfortunately, because the employee never received the medical care the employee died as a result. And other employees were wrongfully discharged for retaliation by the same statutory scheme. And regulations of North Carolina law in the case were upheld. Law: The appeals fourth circuit court overturned the decision of the western district of North Carolina stating that specific language was not needed in the case to be successful on a wrongful termination claim of the employee (4). The plaintiff successfully pled factual allegations plausible to support their claim and the courts utilized persuasive authority to support their decision. In addition, the wrongful discharge was relative to discrimination of disability in North Carolina law (4). Parties: No specific names were mentioned for the employees in the case unfortunately.

Description Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) [WLO: 3] [CLOs: 1, 3] [NACE: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8] Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Chapters 28, 29, and 30 of the textbook, as well as the articles on Changing Legal Structures: LLCs and C Corps, The Pros and Cons of LLCs, and How To Start An LLC In 7 Steps (2024 Guide) which discuss business entities. Malik, Nia, and Talia are planning to start a catering business in a metropolitan area with a population of approximately 480,000. The target market for the venture will include both the corporate market (employee events, client meetings, etc.) and the private market (weddings, family events, etc.). The business plan which they have developed has set start-up costs of $800,000. Malik will contribute 55% of the capital for the creation of the new entity, while Nia will contribute 30% and Talia adding 15%. The plan also projects that the company will operate at a loss for the first two years. In the third year, it is projected that the company will realize a profit of 15%, and 20% profit in year four. Malik is primarily an investor in this new business and does not have any experience in catering or the restaurant industries. However, his family is wealthy, and he is well connected to the metropolitan area. Thus, he would be an asset as being recognized as a leader of the organization. Nia has been highly successful as a marketing executive in the local entertainment sector. She is also considered to be a very effective social influencer in the area, as well as on social media. As a result, she will be working as the marketing and sales director of the catering business. Talia is a culinary expert and has been working as a chef at a local restaurant. She has also been operating a small catering business as a sole proprietor on a part-time basis, which is how the idea for the new business venture originated. Talia has worked in several large cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Rome. Since she is a chef, she does have experience of managing large kitchen staffs. However, she is relatively new to the current market area. Nia and Talia will work for the organization on a full-time basis. Malik will work as a consultant but will not take part in many of the operational tasks that are involved in running the business. Initially, all other staffing needs will be done with part-time employees. Based on some discussions Malik has had with his attorney, the group believes that they should form an LLC for the new business. However, they are open to other ideas. In your paper, Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using an LLC. Are there any other business forms that should be considered for the initial start-up? Discuss whether the LLC should be member-managed or manager-managed, addressing the advantages and disadvantages of each. Discuss how the profits and losses of the business should be shared. This would include addressing the following issues. How should the LLC be taxed? When addressing these concerns, also consider if Malik, Nia, and Talia should receive a salary? If so, how would the amount be determined? If not, how should they be compensated for their work? Explain why it would be important to have an operating agreement when the LLC is formed. Assume that in four years the company wants to expand into ten larger metropolitan areas. Explain if the company should remain an LLC or transition into a new form of business. The Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) paper must be 4 to 5 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA Style must include a separate title page with the following in title case: title of assignment in bold font Space should appear between the title and the rest of the information on the title page. student’s name name of institution (The University of Arizona Global Campus) course name and number instructor’s name due date must include an introduction and conclusion paragraph.

Fact Pattern Setting You are an attorney with the law firm of Chavez & Kerr. Your supervisor, Jamila Kerr, asks for your opinion regarding the following fact pattern. Apex Aerospace is a client of the firm. Apex is a high-powered aerospace engineering firm known for its competitive and demanding work culture. The company is located in Huntsville, Alabama, a hub for aerospace development. Apex has reached out to its law firm because of a complaint by Jamie Miller. Jamie, a man, is a talented young engineer with a strong technical background and ambitious career goals. He was recently promoted to a lead engineer position on a critical project. Jamie's direct supervisor at Apex is Kate McDowell. Kate is a senior executive at Apex. She is known for her assertive leadership style and high expectations. Jamie works alongside Carlos Rodriguez. Carlos is known for his boisterous personality and tendency to dominate team discussions. Since his promotion, Jamie has noticed what appears to be a pattern of subtle undermining from Kate. She frequently questions his decisions in front of other team members, dismisses his ideas, and assigns him tasks that are below his skill level. She also tends to exclude him from what he considers to be key meetings. Jamie has also noticed that Kate often gives Sarah Chen, a less experienced female engineer, more prominent roles in presentations and client interactions. Sarah is a junior engineer on Jamie's team. Carlos has a habit of making comments about Jamie's appearance and personal life that make him uncomfortable. He often jokes about Jamie needing to "toughen up" and "be more assertive." Jamie feels that Carlos's statements imply that Jamie is not masculine enough for the job. Carlos also makes frequent references to Jamie's single status, suggesting he needs to "find a nice girl to settle down with" and "learn how to be a real man." Jamie has not complained to anyone regarding Carlos' conduct, but Jamie feels as if he has informally let Carlos know that the teasing bothers him. Apex has a well developed harassment policy that includes an easily accessible complaint system. All employees are required to attend sexual harassment training. Employees are provided with detailed information about multiple points of contact to report sexual harassment. Jamie feels increasingly isolated in the workplace. He notices that Kate and Carlos often go for drinks after work and have private conversations, excluding him from important informal networking opportunities. He also observes that Carlos' behavior is tolerated, even encouraged, by other male colleagues. He feels that this creates an atmosphere that makes him feel unwelcome. During his performance review, Kate gives Jamie a lukewarm evaluation, criticizing his leadership skills and suggesting he needs to "be more proactive." She also hints that his career progression at Apex might be limited if he doesn't "step up his game." Jamie feels that his performance is being unfairly judged and that his sex is playing a role in Kate's assessment. He has heard that Kate gave Sarah a very positive evaluation. Because she is aware of your stellar grades in Employment Law, Ms. Kerr asks that that you give her a legal memo addressing the following issues. Questions: Sex Discrimination: Has Jamie established a prima facie case of sex discrimination? Analyze the elements required and apply them to the facts. What defenses might Apex raise in response to the sex discrimination claim? Assess the strength of these defenses based on the facts. Discuss the concept of "mixed-motive" analysis. Is it applicable in this case? Explain why or why not. Describe the role of sexual stereotyping and its impact in this case. Sexual Harassment: Has Jamie been subjected to sexual harassment under the law? Analyze the types of sexual harassment and determine whether the facts meet the legal standard. Evaluate the employer's potential liability for the alleged sexual harassment. Consider the employer's policies, procedures, and response to the plaintiff's complaints. What defenses might the employer assert against the sexual harassment claim? Analyze the viability of these defenses based on the facts. Additional Considerations: Analyze the impact of Miller's actions and decisions. Did his behavior contribute to the alleged harm? Consider any potential implications for the employer's workplace culture and policies. What steps might the employer take to prevent future incidents of discrimination and harassment? Instructions: Your answers should demonstrate a thorough understanding of employment law principles related to sex discrimination and sexual harassment. Analyze the facts carefully and apply the relevant legal standards to reach well-reasoned conclusions. Support your arguments with the legal principles that we studied in class. Write clearly, concisely, and persuasively. Remember: This is a complex fact pattern designed to test your analytical and legal reasoning skills. There may be multiple possible interpretations and arguments. The key is to present a well-supported and logical analysis of the issues.

Scenario Widgets operates a ride-sharing business with over 100 drivers. Your boss has asked you to evaluate Widgets' legal exposure for the conduct of its drivers. Several drivers have had accidents, and one driver was arrested for driving while intoxicated when providing a ride for a company client. Widgets has no policy for hiring or checking backgrounds and, for some drivers, allows the use of four company vehicles for transporting large groups. Instructions Consider the above scenario and complete a 3–4 page memo in which you do the following: Summarize the main principles of agency law relevant to the scenario. Identify and accurately explain the liability to the business in the scenario by considering each of the following factors: The scope of employment. Agents acting as an employee versus an independent contractor. When agents commit an intentional tort versus negligence. Recommend 2–3 significant steps that the business should take to limit its legal exposure related to driver conduct. Support your recommendation.
