Business Studies week 4 asignment
Prepare answers to the following chapter-end Critical Legal Thinking Cases from this week’s reading.
• Case 13.5: Innocent Misrepresentation on page 230
• Case 20.1: Cure on page 339
Your responses should be well-rounded and analytical, and should not just provide a conclusion or an opinion without explaining the reason for the choice.
It is important that you incorporate the question into your response (i.e., restate the question in your introduction) and explain the legal principle(s) or concept(s) from the text that underlies your judgment.
For each question you should provide at least one reference in APA format (in-text citations and references as described in detail in the Syllabus). Each answer should be double-spaced in 12-point font, and your response to each question should be between 300 and 1,000 words in length.

• Case 13.5: Innocent Misrepresentation on page 230
• 13.5 Innocent Misrepresentation W. F. Yost, who owned the Red Barn Barbecue Restaurant (Red Barn), listed it for sale. Richard and Evelyn Ramano of Rieve Enterprises, Inc. (Rieve), were interested in buying the restaurant. After visiting and conducting a visual inspection of the premises, Rieve entered into a contract to purchase the assets and equipment of Red Barn, as well as the five-year lease of, and option to buy, the land and the building. Prior to the sale, the restaurant had been cited for certain health violations that Yost had corrected. In the contract of sale, Yost warranted that “the premises will pass all inspections” to conduct the business.
Rieve took possession immediately after the sale and operated the restaurant. After two weeks, when the Board of Health conducted a routine inspection, it cited 52 health code violations and thereupon closed the restaurant. Rieve sued to rescind the purchase agreement. Evidence established that Yost’s misrepresentations were innocently made. Can Rieve rescind the contract? Yost v. Rieve Enterprises, Inc., 461 So.2d 178, Web 1984 Fla. App. Lexis 16490 (Court of Appeals of Florida)

• Case 20.1: Cure on page 339
20.1 Cure Joc Oil USA, Inc. (Joc Oil), contracted to purchase low-sulfur fuel oil from an Italian oil refinery. The Italian refinery issued a certificate to Joc Oil, indicating that the sulfur content of the oil was 0.50 percent. Joc Oil entered into a sales contract to sell the oil to Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Ed). Con Ed agreed to pay an agreed-upon price per barrel for oil not to exceed 0.50 percent sulfur. When the ship delivering the oil arrived, it discharged the oil into three Con Ed storage tanks. A report issued by Con Ed stated that the sulfur content of the oil was 0.92 percent. In the past, Con Ed had permitted a delivery of nonconforming oil to be cured by a conforming delivery. Joc Oil made an offer to cure the defect by substituting a conforming shipment of oil that was already on a ship that was to arrive within two weeks. Con Ed rejected Joc Oil’s offer to cure. Joc Oil sued Con Ed for damages for breach of contract. Does Joc Oil have a right to cure the nonconforming delivery? Joc Oil USA, Inc. v. Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., 457 N.Y.S.2d 458, 443 N.E.2d 932, Web 1982 N.Y. Lexis 3846 (Court of Appeals of New York)

What are Neurologically-Based Behaviors
Information At-a-Glance Assignment
Neurological-based behavior (NBB) refers to the erratic behavior that sometimes occurs when one’s cerebral processes do not function in a “typical”

manner (Kranowitz, 2005). In school, almost all classes contain one or more students with NBB. Most teachers find NBB a special challenge because it is

difficult to understand and does not respond reliably to ordinary discipline and classroom management strategies.
Students behave erratically or inconsistently for reasons that are often mysterious to teachers, sometimes even to those who have been specially

trained. The behaviors in question are believed to result from a compromised ability to process information correctly, in a condition that can be

caused by chemical imbalances in the brain, congenital brain differences, brain injuries, or brain diseases (Cook, 2004; Greene, 2001; Hall & Hall,

2003; Kranowitz, 1998; Papolos & Papolos, 2002).
Because neurological differences are not easily diagnosed, the affected students often do not receive the assistance they need for several years after

their symptoms first appear and they struggle in the classroom.
Please remember that students with NBB are not abstractions or case studies, but real people struggling to deal with life. When ordinary discipline

procedures do not help them behave productively in the classroom, it is not because the students are “bad” or “unintelligent.” Rather, they behave as

they do because of the way their brains function, and their brains cannot always control their behavior in ways that serve them best.
Neurological-Based Behaviors include the following:
• Learning Disabilities (LD) (including Dyslexia)
• Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Sensory Integration Dysfunction (SID)(also called Sensory Processing Disorder)
• Bipolar Disorder
• Oppositional Defiant Disorder ODD)
• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (includes FAS- Fetal Alcohol Syndrome; ARND- Alcohol-related Neuro-developmental Disorder; and pFAS- Partial Fetal

Alcohol Syndrome)
• Brain Injuries- traumatic and nontraumatic

The first step to assisting a student to be successful in an educational setting is understanding them and understanding the strengths and needs they

bring into the classroom and school environment.

 Your assignment is to develop a one page summary detailing one Neurological-based behavior (NBB) from the list above. You must include the following

information:
o Indicators and Characteristics…
o How is it determined/confirmed/ diagnosed?
o Causes, if known…
o Primary behavioral concerns…
o Suggestions to promote success…

• Be sure to include citations from your information sources.

Description
This assignment should help you draw together many of the skills and much of the knowledge you have
gained thus far from the course. Your assignment is to design both sides of an argument that could be
used as the basis for a persuasive essay. Building on the issue you researched in Assignment 1, you are
to come up with opposite conclusions and show how you would go about supporting these opposites.
Tasks
1. Issue: Articulate a current Canadian issue in your own words. It must be expressed as a question
in a single, grammatically correct sentence. The issue must be relevant to the society as a whole
and the public decision-making process. Format example:
• “Should Canada dissolve as a federation and the provinces become new States in the
USA?” (note this is not a proper example of the type of content that is suitable as this is
not an issue that is currently being debated in reputable national media sources)
2. Conclusions: State two conclusions as single, grammatically correct sentences– one for each
side of the issues. Do not include reasons or qualifications that are not in the issue statement.
Here is an example to illustrate format:
• “Yes, Canada should dissolve as a federation and the provinces become new States in
the USA.”
• “No, Canada should not dissolve as a federation and the provinces become new States
in the USA.”
3. Premise 1: In your own words, give a clear, objective, and grammatically correct sentence that is
a supportive reason for the positive conclusion.
4. Find a single-sentence quote that gives direct support for the positive conclusion and is based
on objective reasoning. Then, using APA format, cite the source. Here is an example to illustrate
format:
• “Evidence overwhelmingly suggests that the majority of Canadians would refuse to pay
US taxes, creating insurmountable political instability”. (Author, A. A., & Author, B. B.
(Date of publication). Title of article. Title of Online Periodical, volume number(issue
number if available). Retrieved from http://www.someaddress.com/full/url/
5. Premise 2: Premise 1: In your own words, give a clear, objective, and grammatically correct
sentence that is a supportive reason for the negative conclusion.
6. Find a single-sentence quote that gives direct support for the negative conclusion and is based
on objective reasoning. Then, using APA format, cite the source. Here is an example to illustrate
format:
• “Canadian Business overwhelmingly supports dissolution, according to a national
survey”. (Author, A. A. (Year, Month Day). Title of article. Title of Newspaper. Retrieved
from http://www.someaddress.com/full/url/Task Grade Criteria
