Business Law Case: Contractual Obligations, Breach, and Negligence

This assignment presents a detailed analysis of several business law issues arising from a series of contractual scenarios. It examines whether Weitao is obligated to pay a replacement fee based on an exclusion clause, considering the principles of contract formation and notice. The analysis then addresses Warren's right to discharge a contract with Evelyn due to her prevention of performance, referencing relevant case law to support the claim for damages. Further, the assignment explores the potential for Ambreena to file a suit for misrepresentation against Evelyn regarding a false statement about a tablet's storage capacity. Lastly, it assesses whether the inclusion of a charger with a laptop constitutes an implied term of the contract between Jake and Evelyn, drawing upon the concept of trade customs and implied contractual obligations. Desklib provides comprehensive study tools, including solved assignments and past papers, to aid students in understanding complex legal concepts.
