As e-commerce continues to grow in the United States and abroad, new consumer protection laws are needed. Use the Internet to research recent developments in consumer protection for transactions through cyberspace. (Kubasek et al., 2013, p. 754-5). Consider cyberspace consumer protections that may affect the business in which you work, in which you would like to work, or from a situation you have experienced. Think of this issue from the perspective of a business working with customers; consider how protecting customers may cost your business profits, or, how it might make your business profits by “differentiating” your business from others like it. Then, consider this from the perspective of a legislator or regulator, trying to protect customers from this situation. (Some ideas: identity theft, credit card interest rates, airline baggage fees, etc.). Be creative.
Make a recommendation for a government regulation, or law that you would like to see enacted. Think of the consequences (good and bad) of the proposed regulation or law that you have suggested to businesses, and to consumers. Consider any unintended consequences that might occur. Your paper should have the following sections:
1. Regulation or law proposal. Be very specific in the wording. (Your own idea and words). (20 points).
a. What problem did you find in your research online that your regulation plans to address? Include a citation to the article(s) that describes the problem. (10 points)
b. What consequences might your proposed regulation/law have on affected businesses? Describe one good and one bad consequence. (10 points)
c. What consequences might your proposed regulation/law have on protected consumers? Describe one good and one bad consequence. (10 points)
d. Consider unintended consequences. What might one be? Describe it. (5 points).

Check Investors a “debt collector,” collecting “debts,” within the meaning of the FDCPA? If so, did its methods violate the FDCPA? What might Check Investors use to argue in its defense? Discuss. Explain.
7. CrossCheck, Inc., provides check authorization services to retail merchants. When a customer presents a check, the merchant contacts CrossCheck, which estimates the probability that the check will clear the bank. If the check is within an acceptable statistical range, CrossCheck notifies the merchant. If the check is dishonored, the merchant sends it to CrossCheck, which pays it. CrossCheck then attempts to redeposit the check. If this fails, CrossCheck takes further steps to collect the amount. William Winterstein took his truck to C&P Auto Service Center, Inc., for a tune-up and paid for the service with a check. C&P contacted CrossCheck and, on its recommendation, accepted the check. When the check was dishonored, C&P mailed it to CrossCheck, which reimbursed C&P and sent a letter to Winterstein, requesting payment. Winterstein filed a suit in a federal district court against CrossCheck, asserting that the letter violated the FDCPA. CrossCheck filed a motion for summary judgment. Who won? Explain.

you are the Chief Executive of a Local Health Network is New South Wales. E is a patient in one of your hospitals. E had suffered from anorexia since her early teens, brought about by serious sexual abuse which she experienced between the ages of 4 and 11. Despite the challenges of her illness, she was universally described as intelligent and articulate and had completed several years of a medical degree at university before her illness rendered it impossible to continue. She had undergone a number of admissions for medical and psychiatric care, including legislative sectioning on about 10 occasions. In July 2012 E signed a document saying that she did not want to be resuscitated or to be given any medical intervention to prolong her life.
In October 2012, she signed another advance directive in a standard form, assisted by her mother. Following her discharge and return to the community, a familiar pattern re-asserted itself. By early 2013 E was drinking very heavily. She was re-detained in March 2013 and was initially fed by tube but opposed this and tube feeding was stopped. As a result, she has not been taking any calories at all since the end of March. On 20 April 2013 E was admitted to a community hospital for palliative care and placed on an ‘end of life’ care pathway with high doses of opiate medication, to which she is physically addicted.
E has been diagnosed as suffering from a very rare triad of anorexia, alcoholism and personality disorder. Her parents, although not wanting E to die, did not support any further medical intervention unless there was a real prospect of success. E’s treating doctors are doubtful about further coercive treatment. The NSW Health Solicitor has been instructed by you and she has relied on the advice of an expert, who advised that highly specialized treatment was available, which had not been tried, that although not without significant risk might return E to relatively normal life. The treatment involves a number of medical interventions including forcible feeding and using chemical sedation.
The Department of Health, on your behalf, has applied to the NSW Supreme Court in its parens patriae jurisdiction for orders on how to proceed.
What do you think will be the outcome of this application? In addressing this issue, include the following:
1. Does E have the capacity to refuse life-sustaining treatment, including feeding? (10 marks)
2. Were E’s attempts to make binding advance directives refusing treatment valid? (10 marks)
3. A. If the court decides they were valid, what is the procedure the health service should follow to enact those directives? (5 marks)

B. If the court decides they were not valid, what test will the court apply to decide whether or not the proposed treatment of force –feeding is valid? What will their decision be after applying the test? (5 marks)
4. What are the ethical factors, legal principles, and critical thinking framework(s) that you, as a health service manager, would apply in balancing the value of Es life in one scale and the value of her personal independence on the other? In considering your answer please pay particular attention to how you would manage the team treating E, some of which may object to the way the matter proceeds. (10 marks)

While working an undercover detail in a neighborhood known for drug activity, you notice a vehicle stopped at the intersection waiting for the light to change. The man in the vehicle makes eye contact with you. You approach his vehicle and begin carrying on a conversation with him. You ask him if he needs anything, and he responds by asking you, “What do you have?” You ask him what he is looking for, and he tells you he is looking to score. You show him a small bag containing a white powdery substance; he asks how much, and you respond, “20 dollars.” He hands you a $20 bill, and you give him the bag and tip your hat to signal that the transaction was completed. At this time, the man drives off and is stopped a block away by a marked unit. The individual is placed under arrest for drug possession and purchasing drugs, and he is taken to jail.

The individual is charged with possession of a controlled substance. At his trial, he claimed that he was a victim of entrapment by the police. He was found guilty and sentenced to serve 5 years in jail and given credit for the 3 months he already had served in jail.
