Case Study Instructions

 

Module/Week 3:

Review the following 2 cases separately.

· Tiffany, Inc. v. EBay, Inc.

· A.V. v. Iparadigms

 

You will write a 4–5-page paper in current APA format that focuses on 2 case studies from each week’s reading. Each paper must include at least 4 references in addition to the course textbooks and the Bible. Each week there is a different set of cases for you to review. You must review them separately following the instructions below:

1. State the facts of the case

· What happened in this case? Who are the parties?

· What motivated the parties to take this action?

· List the facts by level of importance.

legal issue

2. Discuss the Issue:  Discuss the issues or problems presented by the case. The legal issue is the question of law on which resolution of the case turns. An issue should be presented in the form of a question. While most cases revolve around a legal issue, you should also consider issues of public policy, values in conflict, and practical reality. For example, a case study involving abortion might involve the following issues:

· Legal: Is abortion legal? If so, under what circumstances?

· Public Policy: Should abortion be legal? Why or why not?

· Values in Conflict: Which value is more important, a woman’s right to privacy or an unborn child’s right to life? Why?

· Practical: What are the options open to someone faced with an unwanted pregnancy? Where can someone in this situation go for help and advice?

3. Discuss the Arguments:  Now that you have defined the facts and issues, develop and discuss the arguments that can be made for each of the various points of view. For example, what are the arguments, both Pro and Con, for each point of view, which side provides the most compelling argument, and why, and what are the consequences?

4. Conclusion:  Each of these cases has a court ruling. Do you agree with the court’s decision (why or why not?). From a Christian prospective, how does this decision impact Christianity and society? If the impact is negative, what recommendations would you make to overcome that impact?

Information Sharing

Program Case Study

Information Sharing

 

The Internet is an invaluable resource for community safety, because it provides public access to information on justice-related issues within communities and throughout the United States. Many law enforcement practitioners have embraced the Internet and made information widely available, allowing access to considerable justice-related data for their jurisdictions.

 

Currently, there are many websites available to the law enforcement community that provide data and information of interest to criminal justice practitioners. Many in the law enforcement community, however, may not be aware of the availability of these resources. Further, to search through the vast amount of data available, law enforcement practitioners have to spend considerable time accessing and conducting searches on individual sites. Access to all of the databases through a single access point would greatly benefit the law enforcement community and allow for the most efficient search functionality and data retrieval.

 

The creation of a law enforcement information sharing portal to provide a single access point would benefit the entire criminal justice community by allowing for more efficiency, effectiveness, and cost savings. The ability of law enforcement to query multiple resources with a common term from a unified interface will deliver a more comprehensive view regarding the search criteria.

Information Sharing

The Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW) is an example of the success that a single access point for searching multiple resources can provide. Prior to the NSOPW, many states had their own sex offender registry systems. However, to conduct a comprehensive search of registered sex offenders, it was necessary to conduct searches on the individual websites of the respective states and territories.

 

 

In 2005, when NSOPW was launched, the public had real-time access to information on sex offender registries throughout the United States and select territories. NSOPW provides an efficient and effective resource to identify registered sex offenders nationwide through a single search from any computer with Internet access. The NSOPW has proven to be an extremely successful and well-used resource since its launch. The success of the NSOPW demonstrates the value of providing a single access point for searching databases to law enforcement practitioners and the public alike.

 

The Internet has revolutionized the accessibility of information, and in a relatively short amount of time, it has evolved exponentially. Advances in technology, which make vital information available via the Internet, have provided the law enforcement community with a cost-effective tool. Using available technology to integrate existing resources will provide law enforcement professionals with expanded access to information that will aid in current investigations and could help prevent future criminal activity.

John Botchit and Paul Scamm

/in /by

John Botchit and Paul Scamm

You are in-house counsel for a construction company, Wecanfixit Pty Ltd (“Wecanfixit”) which has its registered office in Lismore, NSW and which has two directors, John Botchit and Paul Scamm.

One of the directors, Botchit, has come to see you and briefed you on a problem relating to one of the employees. James Slipped, who was working overseas for the company in Malaysia on a large construction project. While working on the project. Slipped fell from some scaffolding and broke his leg in several places (there are no allegations of negligence or fault against Wecanfixit in respect of the accident). He was rushed to a local private hospital. The King Plaza hospital, where he underwent surgery for his serious but non life threatening injuries. He was required to stay in hospital for a few days until he was fit enough to be moved and travel back to Australia. While staying in hospital, he unfortunately caught a post operative wound infection and which resulted in him having to have his leg amputated below the knee.

He is now unable to ever work again in his specialist field and is entitled to an award of worker’s compensation under Australian law. Wecanfixit’s insurers have reached a settlement with Slipped and he has been paid an agreed amount of statutory compensation. Slipped has now filed proceedings against Wecanfixit in the NSW Supreme Court seeking additional damages (not covered by worker’s statutory compensation)

Malyasian hospital

under the common law in negligence – specifically damages for his pain and suffering as well as for loss of future earnings Botchit informs you that Wecanfixit don’t believe it is responsible for any of these damages and that it is the Malyasian hospital. The King Plaza, who were negligent. Wecanfixit therefore want to defend the claim on the basis it was the King Plaza who were negligent and caused Slipped his injuries resulting in the damages he now seeks. You are told damages claimed total $5M. Botchit also tells you that the directors don’t want to have to travel to Malaysia to deal with the matter.

They want any claim against the King Plaza to be heard here in Australia, where Slipped, the company and all of Slipped’s doctors are based – they think they shouldn’t have to travel to Malaysia to give evidence and incur all that additional time and cost. Also, Slipped remains in significant pain and travel is very difficult for him. Botchit tells you that the hospital is owned by a Malaysian company – he can give you the hospital’s address but he doesn’t have the company’s name. He asks whether Wecanfixit can join the King Plaza to the proceedings brought against Wecanfixit by Slipped and whether any claim against the King Plaza can be served by letter, by registered mail addressed to the CEO?

memo of advice to Botchit

QUESTION 1.  Prepare a memo of advice to Botchit based on the above instructions to deal with: (a) What immediate steps Wecanfixit need to take to ensure it protects its position with respect to the claim made by Slipped. What further information do you need from Botchit? (b) How would you recommend (from a procedural perspective) Wecanfixit should pursue the King Plaza hospital? Advise on all procedural issues and in particular deal with the service requirements of any claim on the King Plaza. (c) Any additional matters that Botchit and Scamm as directors of Wecanfixit need to be aware of regarding the Court’s requirements of the directors on the commencement of any claim against the King Plaza hospital given that Wecanfixit is a company.

(d) Now assume that the King Plaza hotel objects to the claim against it being brought in Sydney, and wishes to have the claim heard in Kuala Lumpur under Malaysian law. What steps will it need to take and what documents will it need to prepare and file and where? Detail the procedure it will need to follow. (e) Advise as to the likely outcome of this preliminary dispute over jurisdiction. Give reasons.When advising on each issue, cite any relevant rules, legislation and cases.

King Plaza hospital

QUESTION 2 Assume for the purposes of this question and the next question only that Wecanfixit successfully defeated the defendant’s challenge to jurisdiction and the case has been progressing in Sydney, Australia. The case has been ongoing for the last 12 months and you have briefed an external firm of lawyers, Wright Hassell, to run the litigation but with your assistance. The litigation has not moved as quickly as it should due to the deliberate delaying tactics of the King Plaza hospital. Pleadings have only just closed. Litigation costs incurred by Wecanfixit already total $300,000. In the last 12 months, Wecanfixit’s financial position has changed significantly due to problems with two major projects. The last set of company accounts filed show that the business has been run at a loss for the last financial year.

The King Plaza hospital has recently made a request for security for costs. They estimate their total costs of defending the matter will be $1M and are seeking security for that amount. They have not yet filed an application but have indicated their intention to do so. You are called to a meeting with directors, Botchit and Scamm who wish to discuss the request for security for costs. They want to know what it means and what happens if they don’t pay it. If theKing Plaza make an application, how will they do that, what happens then and what is the likely outcome? You are instructed to prepare a memo after your meeting detailing your advice. Cite all relevant rules, legislation and cases when advising.

Wecanfixit’s financial issues

QUESTION 3 Wecanfixit’s financial issues have gone from bad to worse. An order was made for the provision of $800,000 for security for costs in the Slipped/King Plaza litigation. Wecanfixit couldn’t pay it, as a result of which the proceedings are now stayed. Wecanfixit has been running at a loss and income has dried up. Botchit and Scamm have continued to operate the company in the hope that things will improve. The company continues to incur substabtial debts

. Botchit and Scamm come to you and tell you that the company has just received a statutory demand from a creditor of the company. Easybricks Pty Ltd, which supplies Wecanfixit with building materials. Wecanfixit owes Easybricks $250,000 with part of the debt dating as far back as 6 months ago. The stautory demand claims the full sum outstanding. Botchit and Scamm confirm that there is no dispute over the debt. But Wecanfixit cannot pay it and has no hope of paying it in the near future. In the circumstances described. Advise Botchit and Scamm with respect to: (a) the statutory demand and the potential consequences for the company, Wecanfixit; and (b) their potential personal liability for their conduct.Cite all relevant legislation, rules and cases when advising.
