Courts apply a subjective standard when examining the existence of offer and acceptance by the parties when they created an agency relationship. A principal has a duty to reimburse or indemnify the agent for payments made or expenses incurred event if incurred outside the agent's actual authority. In all agency relationships, the principal authorizes the agent to provide services or accomplish some task on behalf of the principal and under the principal's charge. In an agency relationship, the status of an agent is based on what the parties agreed to rather than the actual working relationship between principal and agent. In creating an agency relationship, consent occurs when the principal manifests some offer to form an agency. In an undisclosed agency, the agent is not contractually liable to the third party. In the case of the death of a principal, some state statutes permit the agent to continue to have actual authority in the agency relationship, until the agent learns of the death.

The employment-at-will doctrine reflects an employer's wide latitude in decision making when exercising the power and right to terminate an employee. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is administered and enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Generally, if a labor union chooses not to bring a grievance to arbitration, the individual union member has the authority to pursue a lawsuit against the employer to enforce contract provisions.

The term employment discrimination encompasses workplace-related discrimination that may include the hiring process and disciplinary action but does not include the treatment of employees in terms of promotions and demotions, work schedules, and assignments. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 requires the person in the protected class to receive equal treatment to that of nonclass members. As in all civil cases involving employment discrimination, the initial burden of proof rests upon the plaintiff to prove her case. A state and local government affirmative action program aimed at addressing inequalities in the workplace and in education is constitutional so long as it attempts to remedy an actual past practice of discrimination, and it does not employ a system of quotas. While state antidiscrimination statutes are relatively conservative in exactly what constitutes a protected class, federal statutes have expanded protected-class membership.

Brad is drunk and driving his car 20 miles over the speed limit. He hits Angelina, who is crossing the street against a red light. Angelina has over $95,000 in medical bills and has significant pain and suffering. If Angelina sues in a state that still follows the theory of contributory negligence, she will get nothing. Assume that Iowa has passed a law requiring that anyone riding or operating a motorcycle wear a helmet. Mary enters Iowa Harley-Davidson and wants to take a test ride. She doesn't have a helmet with her and the dealership doesn't have one available in her size, so the proprietor lets her go without one. If she crashes and is injured, the proprietor has committed negligence per se. Your cousin, who is a CPA, calls you and says that a client paid him in diamonds and he's selling them. If you purchase one of those diamonds, at the time of the sale your cousin would be considered a merchant of those diamonds. Johnson Builders is selling a newly built home to Sheila. JRK Realtors is handling the transaction. This sale is covered under Article 2 of the UCC. UCC gap fillers will not be used and are not applicable to contracts when the contract clearly specifies a contract term or condition. UCC risk of loss provisions will govern the terms of a contract even if the parties have specified risk allocation in the contract. The 2003 revisions to the UCC have been adopted by only about half of the states. In an assignment or delegation, any third-party rights or duties occur after the contract is formed. Substantial performance will be enforced only if the deviation from complete performance is not material to the contract. Craig is a licensed plumber and has a contract to install a replacement toilet for Mary. When Craig realizes that he has booked two appointments simultaneously, he calls Brian, another licensed plumber, and asks him to install Mary's toilet. Craig has assigned his duties to Brian. A unilateral contract is formed when a promise requires acceptance by performance. A valid contract is one that has all the necessary elements and, thus, can be enforced. A handyman goes to the wrong house by mistake and cleans the gutters while the homeowners are at work. The homeowners will have to pay for the service under the quasi-contract theory of unjust enrichment. Under most circumstances, acceptance cannot be imposed or inferred from an offeree's silence after receiving an offer. Reasonableness of an offer requires that the offeror have an objective intent to contract when making the offer. The mailbox rule determines when a contract is considered to be deemed accepted by the offeree, thus depriving the offeror of the right to revoke the offer. Helen's cat Fluffy has run away, and she places reward posters throughout her neighborhood. Mark sees one of the reward posters and spends the next six hours searching for Fluffy.
