Part 1 - Introducing your business (5 marks)
You and your partner will imagine a Canadian business that sells a sustainable product (you may not use a real company). In class in Week 2, we discussed examples of sustainable products. Using Adobe, you and your partner will need a web page that identifies the following information:
- Your business' name.
- What your business produces and/or sells (not a service).
- How your business' product is sustainable. In your answer, you must identify at least one Sustainable Development Goal ("SDG") your product supports/reflects and explain how it reflects this goal. Here is a link to the UN Sustainable Development Goals:
- Your business' logo. (You need own logo or choose an existing company's logo, like Nike's swish; you just have to identify which company's logo it is in brackets or at the bottom of your web page)
Part 2 - Tort Law
You and your partner will imagine a situation in which your business is sued for the tort of negligence, and you will make short video (no more than 2 minutes) in which you film the potential situation or hazard that leads to the negligence claim. For example, if your business is a clothing company, maybe the hazard is a toxic chemical used in the fabric dye, or if your business is a store, maybe it is broken step that a customer can trip on.
Do not actually put yourself in any danger - please do not actually trip or slip! Just film a scene that shows the potential hazard and explain why it is a hazard.
You will upload the video to your web page and answer the following questions in writing:
- Identify the specific type of negligence in your video.
- Identify each step in the 4-part legal test for negligence and explain how each step applies to your situation.
Part 3 - Contract Law
You and your partner will imagine a situation in which your business has entered into a contract with a supplier or a customer, and the supplier/customer has breached the contract. Please answer the following questions in writing in your web page:
- Describe the breach of contract. Your answer should identify:
- What the contract is about - be specific
- How the contract has been breached- be specific
- Explain whether your claim would be for breach of a condition or breach of a warranty. In your answer, explain the difference between a condition and a warranty and why this is important.
- If you were to sue for breach of contract, what remedy/remedies would you seek? Be specific and explain each remedy.
- If you wanted to avoid litigation, what other form of dispute resolution could you use to resolve your issue with your supplier/customer? Identify an appropriate dispute resolution process and give 2 reasons why you have chosen this process.
