Do not type out the full assignment questions. List the answers with number Part A. Q 1(b)) or Part B 2 (b) before the answers. Support Part A and B answers with case and/or statute references to support the analysis where relevant. For Part A, there is no particular format. 1000 words are the guide with twenty marks on offer. Allow say 50 words per mark as a general guide. You have to number your answers clearly and use complete sentences. As for Part B the legal problem questions should be answered in the following format: 1. Issue: what is the legal problem/legal topic that needs to be addressed based on the facts of this case. Generally, I like to put the issue in the form of a question so that in my subsequent analysis will answer back to the issue. 2. The law/rules: the second step is look at what are the legal principles that are relevant to the issue. In this section, you need to support the law with relevant cases and proper citations and outline the relevant principles that come out of these cases. Referencing APA or AGLC/legal is acceptable. You only need to provide one form of referencing. 3. Application of law to the facts of the case. In this paragraph(s), you dissect and discuss the facts of the case, apply the law and finally determine the outcome of the case. The outcome may be that the parties have or have not reached a legally binding agreement. Generally this goes back to the issue. 4. Remedies/Conclusion: what are the likely orders the court will grant. Chapter 4 in the text at pages 139-141 and other Moodle resources in the Assessment Items’ section can assist. Remember that the Academic Learning Centre can assist at the nearest campus and online with organizing the structure of the assignment answers and its connection to the set questions, language use, referencing and the use of Turnitin and similarity issues.

Foundations of Business Law
Assessment Task 1
Name
Istitution
Part A
1 The case was heard in the Supreme Court of Tasmania.
The Tasmanian Supreme Court is the supreme state court in Australia. The Supreme Court of Tasmania is in the middle tier in the Australian legal system, each having appeal authority over lower courts and allowing court rulings t
o be decided on an application by the Australian high court.
2 This case is a civil action for torts and damages in particular. In civil litigation, through a preponderance of proof, the plaintiff has the presumption of proof (burden of proof).
A civil case starts when a individual or entity (such as a corporation or government), designated the claimant, argues that another person or entity (the defendant) has failed to perform a legal obligation owed to the claimant. Both the complainant and the defendant are often referred to as "parties" or "litigants." The complainant may ask the court to order the defendant to perform the obligation, or to make restitution for the harm done, or both. Judicial responsibilities require protection for legally defined rights or federal or state laws. In this case the conduct of the claimants is focused on contract, coercion, promissory estoppel and legislation (Fair Trading Act, 1990).

1. Causes of Action
2. Contract
3. Tort
1. The conduct of the plaintiffs is focused on contract, tort, promissory estoppel and the law (Fair Trading Act 1990). The contract action alleges repudiation by the defendant in refusing to allow Jonathon Jackson to fill one of the two crew positions set out in the sponsorship agreement.
2. During the course of the race the defendant offered two vessel locations. He did not acknowledge the existence of a deal with someone other than the first named complainant, although he acknowledged that there was an agreement with Jackson in his reaction to interrogatories.
3. In my opinion concerning the lawsuits for serious injury, this cause of action should not be decided strictly speaking but, considering the nature of the question of actions and their effect on the respective parties, it is prudent to draw conclusions applicable to both issues.
4 The key areas of contract law that has been examined are:
1.The plaintiff argued that the decision was taken because the weight limit was imposed by the ranking certificate, while the defendant maintained that the decision was appropriate because of Jonathon Jackson's marine illness on the delivery journey which made him unfit as a race crew member.
The pronouncement that neither Jackson nor Jonathon, Jackson took part in the race preceded Acrimony. Woods has not returned any of the sponsorship moneys.
2. According to the Fair Trade Act of 1990, the conduct of the plaintiffs is based on contract , tort, promissory estoppel along with statute.The case in the contract demanded the defendant's repudiation for refusing to allow Jonathon Jackson to fill one of the crew roles provided for in the sponsorship agreement. The defendant denied violation on the grounds that it was an implicit term arrangement that the involvement of Jackson and his son as crew members did not jeopardise the vessel's protection, that Jonathon Jackson's marine illness brought such a term into the contract's service and results would be unthinkable. The claim in tort is for economic injury that is founded on violation of duty and negligence intended in part to allow the complainants to obtain exemplary damages.
3.The defendant agreed to make two places on the vessel during the race. He did not admit the existence of a contract with the first-named complainant, although he acknowledged that an arrangement with Jackson was being reached. Both the plaintiffs were discussing this and both were directly introduced to the defendant through his lawyer, Sprott.
4. The inference concerning the claim for aggravated damages is not mandatory in order to ascertain the cause of the action, but because the topic of conduct and its effect on the respective parties has an impact on all damages, along with tort...
