Description THE CASE OF THE DRIVER WHO HAD ONE TOO MANY Stefan was insured under a life insurance contract policy that excluded death due to suicide. The policy had a face amount of $1 million. Two weeks after taking out the policy, Stefan stopped at a local bar to have a “few” as he had gotten a promotion that day and his family was depending on that promotion to save send their twins to college. Stefan left the bar, driving while intoxicated. It was raining and he lost control of his car which hit a utility pole. He was killed immediately. There was no one else involved in the accident. It was raining but the road was in good shape and well lighted. Stefan’s insurance company refused to pay and Stefan’s wife sued the company to force payment. The Trial Testimony at the trial proved conclusively that Stefan was legally intoxicated when he left the party. There was also proof that there was nothing in the policy about lack of coverage in the event of an accident due to intoxication. The Arguments at Trial The insurance company’s attorneys argued that benefit provisions apply only to death due to accidents and that, although Stefan appeared to have been in an accident, his death was due to his being intoxicated and therefore not an accident. They further argued that this concept was so logical that it did not need spelling out in the insurance policy. The estate’s attorneys argued that because the policy was silent about accidents due to intoxication, the benefit provision should apply regardless of the cause of the accident; the parties had a contract and all exclusions must be spelled out in the contract in order to be effective. Questions to Discuss Who do you think has the stronger argument, the insurance company or Stefan’s estate? Why? If you were the jury hearing this case, how would you decide? Why? What do you think the rule regarding coverage of accidents due to use of drugs or excessive alcohol should be?

Description There is a correct answer(s) for the question as several legal concepts apply. If a student discusses a different legal theory for answering the question, partial points will be given. In cases of complete or partial answers, text references are mandatory to support the remedy proposed by the student. A text reference that has no bearing on the remedy or legal arguments will be counted as "no text". For example, if any contract has an issue of risk of loss, referencing the text on contract formation will not meet the requirement. The sections of the text that you have read contain all the information you need for this analysis. Please remember to reference the applicable parts of the contract that you are using to answer each question. Your response should be in IRAC Writing Format. A student will be given 4 points for the text reference, 4 points for the contract reference, with 15 points for the analysis itself, 4 points for proper IRAC formatting. The remaining 3 points will be given as a spelling/grammar score. Following is the prompt. UCC Sales Contract The following question is based on the Sales Contract found in the Contracts Module. Please reference the Sales Contract by clause number as you answer the questions. Remember, this is a contract under the UCC. IRAC Response (properly labeled with at least 2 paragraphs in the application section with textbook and contract references to support your answers) You contend that you received non-conforming goods as a result of an ambiguity in the contract. You ordered goods thinking you would get a particular product. You wanted 6 inch commemorative chuck styled sneakers. That was the original oral telephonic communication when you first contacted the selling merchant. You both talked about and agreed on chuck sneakers. Thereafter, in additional phone conversations, you and the seller just used the phrase "sneakers". The seller prepared a written contract and sent it to the buyer for review and signature. The contract was signed by both parties. The selling merchant then shipped 6 inch plastic sneakers that are in perfect condition but they are not designed to look like chucks as they are significantly wider an resemble zoobalance much more closely than chucks. The selling merchant believes the goods are conforming. Upon receipt and inspection of the goods, what are all your merchant options under the contract and at law as the buyer?
