Marks 20 Spelling and Grammar 2 Identifying legal elements6 Content/argument10 Decision on outcome2 Case Study Jim was a well-known business man in Kamloops. He recently retired from his job and decided he wanted to start a business with his neighbour. Jim had a sweet tooth and decided to start an ice cream distribution company. Jim’s neighbour, Neal, had a connection with a local farmer who produced his own ice cream and several other farmers in the area who were also producing ice cream. Neal did not really have any money as he has never been good a managing cash. Jim was going to fund the operation and Neal was going to make the connections with the farmers. The plan was to take all of these small farmers and act as an intermediary between the farmers and retailers. Once they had set up contracts on behalf of the farmers they would then deliver the ice cream. Their idea was a huge success and within two months they had 15 farmers who wanted to distribute their products through Jim and Neal’s business. Neal was very excited as he had never been good at business and this was the first time he felt successful. In his excitement Neal told all of the farmers that the store owners wanted triple the amount of ice cream on next months order. Jim had actually been dealing with all of the orders for the stores and it turned out that only one store wanted extra ice cream next month and they only wanted the extra from one farmer not all farmers. When Neal went to do the pick-ups and deliveries for the next month all of the farmers provided him with the extra ice cream he had told them the stores wanted. On the way to drop off the ice cream Jim though they had extra ice cream as the truck looked really full however he did not say anything. When they arrived at the stores, all of the stores except one refuse to take the extra ice cream. Jim became quite worried about the extra ice cream and told Neal to take it back to all of the farms. When he tried to return the ice cream all of the farms refused to take it back. They all said Neal had made the mistake and it was his responsibility to deal with the ice cream. Since Jim and Neal did not have the facility to store the ice cream most of it went bad before they were able to deal with it. The famers are now demanding payment for the ice cream and will not give Jim and Neal any further ice cream until they get paid. The stores have also started calling Jim and Neal asking where the ice cream is as they are in the busy part of the summer and do not have any ice cream. Advise Jim and Neal, the farmer and the store owners as to what you think will happen.
