Finally, Part C analyzes a business negligence case, where a business owner suffers financial losses due to an advisor's misreading of accounts, evaluating the advisor's duty of care and the implications of negligence under relevant legislation.

PART A
1. How would court determine as there is an enforceable agreement between Wing and Tom
In the context of case of Tom and Wing in which Wing was an honest and innovative
employee and due to his abilities and ideas, Tom's computers throughout 2019 get success. Wing
was more able and capacity to support his company to accomplish their goals and take
competitive advantages. Competitor of Tom's computer, Jerry approached Wing and offered him
a great salary if he leave Tom's organization but being honest, Wing discussed this with his
manager Tom. By listening this, Tom suggested to Wing that to not leave as he will offer him a
large salary and also allow him a partnership position from 1st July 2020. But after completing
this working tenure Tom refused to increase his salary and to make him a business partner. After
that they argued and Wing was terminated. So, from this case it can be said that court will not
determine it as an enforceable agreement between them as there were no legal and written
agreement. Tom suggested Wing orally and it was mutual communication and agreement. There
are some rules and regulations in employment agreement which should be considered by both
parties while making a contract and continuing business operation with some terms and
conditions. As per the employment agreement of Australia, all employees of Australia require to
have a common law of contract which specify some terms and conditions.
In addition, it can be considered as unenforceable when courts find employment
agreement signed after offer letter or other contract. It's a contract that can be made at the time of
hiring employee and after recruitment if they make any changes in salary, designation and other
element of employee. For making an enforceable contract, there is a requirement to have all
terms, conditions written down in it. In the context of legal agreement, enforceable agreement
between 2 parties is one who is not restricted by any law. In the regards to Tom and Wing case in
which Tom cheated on Wing and did not fulfil his promise, it can be said that it was a reciprocal
consideration because in this case, Tom offered Wing salary increment which can give value to
Wing and the other party or Wing is considered as a receipt of it (Enforceable Contract, 2020).
Without formation of a contract, the same exchange and exchange orally is considered as a gift
from the offeror, rather than enforceable contract. It was a oral contract because Tom only

suggested and asked Wing to not to leave the company and in this exchange he will double up
his salary. Contract can be made orally as well as written and oral agreement as compare to
written are far more difficult. In oral agreement and make them legal or enforceable, court
requires strong evidence like recording of that agreement but in this case there was no recording
and strong evidence which can make bound to the court to consider it enforceable and give
fairness to Wing. So, it can also be said that oral agreements and modifications which Tom made
are binding amendments to contract, in so far as the change is acknowledged by both parties. For
making an oral as well as written contract valid, it is important to have agreement by both of the
parties voluntarily and proper details. Without the proper and insufficient details and all
conditions of the contract made between parties, it is considered as invalid contract. This applies
to customary requirements for certain fields, covering technological inventions and other
patentable processes. So, it can be said that from all evidence and resource that this case of Tom
and Wing can not be considered as a enforceable contract by the court due to lack of evidence
(Hsu, 2016).
2. Remedies could be granted if Wing was successful in legal action for breach of contracts
against Tom
As the case is provided it was the mutual communication between tom and wing. But in
the case if the contract was done between the wing and tom. Wing would use the certain
remedies for the unethical behaviour done by tom. These many remedies which will be used by
wing like the money damages and many more. Wing would demand money form tom which
would include the damages for the mental problems faced by wing for the problems faced by
wing while working in the effective way (Cabrelli, 2016). Wing can fie the case against the tom
and demand money form the to against problems faced by wing while filing the case ad the
expenses in occurred by the while fighting the case against tom. These could be said as the
compensation for wing. Money damage is said to have the sum of the money which will have to
be paid by tom after fighting the case in the court. In the restitution it would be said that it will
restore the injured part and parties would not de mad more money form the other party. The laws
will provide the position to the people which are involved while working in the effective way.
These remedies would be used by wing to fulfil the certain actions in the effective way. Wing

would fight in court but wing need to have certain evidences for proving the innocence of self
and for proving the crime of tom.
