Swot Analysis For Sand Sales
the market in sand sales, we have to operate differently. We must set negotiating parameters for the sales team, analyze our current agreements to
ensure compliance, work with IT and legal to force compliance for all non–compliant situations, and develop a contract management system going
forward that tracks not only the customer's contract compliance, but ours as well. This will be a large under–taking that will require time and
cooperation from the following departments: finance, billing, planning, logistics, sales, IT, Legal, and procurement. There are two different change
alternatives; one that will give us the ability to accurately forecast production and profit but that may make us a difficult supplier, and another that will
make us a better supplier, but will require a lot of contract compliance management tracking. Each of these change alternatives has certain risks that are
associated with it, but overall we must consider the option that brings our business more value, regardless of the amount of time or effort this change
will require. Finally, regardless of the change alternative the business chooses, we will need to procure and implement an enterprise–wide contract

Because of their nature as being protracted contracts of an excessive cost, shipbuilding contracts may entail a number of serious risks for both their
counterparts, that may result to great damage in their financial standing.
While at the past years the shipbuilding market witnessed a period of economic boom, with a great number of shipowners ordering ships from the
shipyards of China, Korea and Japan (the dominants of the newbuilding sector) and signing the relevant shipbuilding contracts, the economic crisis of

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONTRACTUAL TERMS – PROPER DRAFTING FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF CONDITIONS AND INNOMINATE

An other challenge for the draftsmen of a shipbuilding contact is to manage to illustrate clearly and undoubtedly the true willing of the counterparts
and more importantly the terms of the contract that are of such importance to the parties that without their inclusion in the contract they would not have
contracted at the first place or a breach of whom makes the contract substantially different from that the parties intended.
In a breach of such a term the parties do no longer have an interest on continuing the contract, since that term is vital for the whole agreement.
Such a term is considered to be a condition that usually refers to the main points and aspects of the contract, in the root of the deal/agreement, rather

Sam Cheeseman Case
The contract is a legally–enforceable promise or a set of promises. The four elements of the contract are 1) the agreement, 2) the consideration, 3)
contractual capability, and 4) lawful object (Cheeseman, 2015, p. 188). These elements are required to exist for a contract between Sam and the chain
store to be valid. The first element of the contract is the agreement which is a combination of the offer and an acceptance which both need to exist.
The agreement between Sam and the chain store exists because Sam had verbally agreed to send 1,000 units to the chain store, as per conversation
with the store manager. The second element of the valid contract is the consideration which could exist if both parties, Sam and the chain store, had
agreed... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The equitable doctrine of implied–in–law contract, a quasi–contract, would have allowed the court to award monetary damages to a plaintiff for
providing work or services to a defendant even though no actual contract existed between the parties (Cheeseman, 2015, p. 195). This would apply to
the situation in which Sam received some form of payment for his units before he shipped the units to the store. In this case, Sam would have been
under the legal obligation to send the units to the chain store. Promissory estoppel (or detrimental reliance) is an equity doctrine that permits a court to
order enforcement of a contract that lacks consideration (Cheeseman, 2015, p. 220). Promissory estoppel is used to avoid injustice. The elements of
the promissory estoppel include the promisor making a promise, the promiseГ© replying to the promise, the promiseГ© taking action on the promise,
and experiencing injustice when the promise was not enforced. The promissory estoppel in this case is invalid because there was no discussion about
the compensation in return for the 1,000 units, no action based on the promise, and no injustice suffered as a result of fulfilling a

Plaintiff Case Study
Plaintiffs' allegation that they suffered a constructive eviction is also legally deficient. Although a tenant is justified in abandoning the premises if a
landlord's breach renders the premises uninhabitable, a tenant waives the landlord's breach if she does not vacate the premises within a reasonable
time. Shaker & Associates v. Medical Technologies Group, Ltd., 315 Ill. App. 3d 126, 135 (1st Dist. 2000). Various factors are considered when
determining whether the length of time before vacation is reasonable, such as promises by the landlord to repair and time required to find a new
location. Id. While the question of what constitutes a reasonable time for vacation is usually a question of fact, "it may become a question of law."

Despite these opportunities, Plaintiffs still have not filed a complaint that complies with section 2–603 of the Code, and therefore, this Court should
strike their complaint with prejudice. Further, Plaintiffs have not alleged sufficient facts to sustain an anticipatory repudiation of a contract claim, and

Case Analysis : Oil And Gas Industry
A claim is commonly regarded as a four–letter word which draws the line in the sand between the contactor and the employer. It is a better strategy to
manage claims instead of behaving them in an emotional and inappropriate way which make them to legal actions. Claims are normal issues in oil

In upstream industries D phase is also a risk taking phase. It means that if the contractor do not reach the considered production rate after exploration
and Commercialization, there will be no sum which is allocated to him and he could not have any claim. So, in upstream, from phase E till P claims
are more important and have higher contents. Depends on the types of contracts and agreements of the MARYAM GHAEM 2 parties types of claims
might be different. In this period obligations of the employer are in minimum level, but contractor`s commitments and obligations are in maximum
level. So, the number of claims is low. In production phase the number of claims is usually more because parties have obligations to each other and
their mutual obligations affect their incomes, directly. In addition, claims which are not suitable to put forward, in this phase, because of reaching to

Employment Law Essay
In order to discuss and analyse the above statement, in depth reference will be made to various documents which can in some circumstances relate to
contracts of employment and whether those particular documents which are not contractual can be incorporated into a contract, creating legal

A contract of employment is an agreement between an employer and employee, forming the basis of an employment relationship; enforceable by law.

The case of Gascol Conversions v Mercer demonstrates an instance whereby the statutory particulars were held to be the contract, as the statement of
the written terms had been sent to the employee who had signed them and a receipt. In other words he was agreeing that the document accurately
represented the terms of the employment, he had signed what he acknowledged to be a written contract. Clearly demonstrating that a document that is
not itself contractual can be incorporated into a contract, it is thus possible for what would normally be a section 1 statement to be transformed into a
formal written contract by the parties signing it . Later cases showed a somewhat opposing view

families. Unfortunately, at the same time many of these new reproductive techniques may bring about ethical considerations and debates, causing pain

Whitehead was permitted to view the child on a weekly basis which in my opinion disregards the best interest of the child. (Appleton, 1107) It is
understandable that a woman 's connection and bonding to the child during pregnancy can have a huge impact on one 's life, but in this case you must
also take into consideration the intended parents. If the government had stricter regulations regarding the contractual agreement proposed prior to the
surrogacy, the whole issue wouldn 't have been brought forth. I believe the government should require a certain time period for mental contemplation or
counseling which would determine whether the surrogate mother was capable of going through with the pregnancy. By claiming that the contract
infringement doesn 't violate the Stern 's constitutional rights is invalid because it denies Mr. Stern personally the right to not procreate. A contractual
obligation must be strict because if the contract is disregarded, then it puts a sort of questionable authority on the government, and the meaning behind
a contract degenerate. When going into surrogacy, the intentions were based upon having a child for his wife and himself, not to adopt a woman 's
child who used his sperm. Government regulation is warranted due to this fact that contract infringement could violate ones ' constitutional rights as

Bettini V Warranty
Traditionally terms were classified as either conditions or warranties. A condition can be defined as a major term of the contract which goes to the
root of the contract. If a condition is breached the innocent party is entitled to end the contract and claim damages. An example of a condition
breach of a contract is Poussard V Spiers (1876).where Madame Poussard entered into a contract with Spiers as and Opera singer and became ill
days prior to the opening night and as a result was unable to perform for the first four nights of the show. Spiers then replaced her with another
singer. The court held that Madame Poussard was in breach of condition and Spiers was entitled to end the contract. Warranties on the other hand are
minor terms of a contract, which are not central to the existence of the contract. If a warranty is breached the innocent my claim damages but cannot
terminate the contract. This is evident in the case Bettini V Gye (1876) where Bettini entered into a contract as an Opera singer with Gye. He became
ill and missed six day of rehearsal, his employer fired him and replaced him with another singer. It was held that Bettini was in breach of a warranty
and therefore the employee was not entitled to end the contract, missing the rehearsal did... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As this was not the case, the breach did not justify termination. What Lord Diplock was escentially trying to convey is that there should be more

The Implementation Of Refurbishing Buildings
Introduction
The process of refurbishing buildings can be a lengthy and complex procedure. The outline of tasks and stages that have to be completed during
project and when the building will be in use is presented below. This is a simple diagram of RIBA Plan of Work 2013– bespoke planning tool used in
the industry – full version is available in the Appendix 1. (RIBA, 2013a. p.16)
Before we proceed with refurbishment planning I will have to carry out necessary surveys. Measurement – to assess the size of the building which will
help in evaluating quantities; structural – to get an idea of needed demolition, services that are in place and the possibility of providing new ones and
asbestos survey – which is necessary precaution to address hazards in the building.
In this report I am going to analyse the procurement routes that would be suitable for your project. I will outline tendering process and present the
standard forms of contracts available. At the end, I will advise on the best fit solution – but the final decision on how we will proceed with this project
is entirely yours.

'The procurement strategy identifies the best way of achieving the completion of a construction project – taking into account the best value for money
over the entire life cycle of the building or facility' (RICS, 2013. p. 21). There are three routes of procurement that could be adapted for your project:

In order to achieve this sustainable support, the aircraft Manufacturers produce tri–partite Agreement with Airlines and suppliers to define all the terms
and conditions that govern such in service support.

A2)Support Materials Cost reductions– Warranty claims
The warranty terms and related contractual remedies are considered for the airline, one of the main sources maintenance costs reduction in case of
reported failures. The warranty effect normally extends 48 months out of Aircraft age. The airline incurs only routine maintenance costs during this
period if they have introduced efficient processes to capture all warranty opportunities. Some airlines with MRO attachment can also generate some
profits from the warranty business where they recover the costs plus a certain margin they made out of manpower either from their own airline or a
third party airline customer.
The Introduction of new aircraft received with a comprehensive warranty support normally during the first years of aircraft age hence contributing
significantly to maintenance cost reduction. The guarantees last for much longer normally ten years of Aircraft age. It is anticipated that during this
period and in case of reliability issues, OEMs will intervene and offer product support which includes free repairs/loaner and modification.
Furthermore, the OEMs provide below remedies under the PSA terms:

The Oil And Gas Industry
One of the most capital intensive and globalized industries is the energy sector because of its operations that are inherently complex. As such, the oil
and gas projects experience overruns of costs that exceeds 100 percent at times, which have created the need for adoption of new contracting strategies
(Schramn, Meibner, & Weidinger, 2009). The risks in most cases are contractually distributed and shared among the energy project stakeholders instead
of leaving it to the owner. Some of the risks include the reputational risk, environmental risks, and the disasters experienced and which exposes the
companies to the costly process of litigation. Accordingly, the oil and gas industry fails to achieve different aspects of the overall strategic business
goals because of the challenges that occur in the projects undertaken (Chanmeka, Thomas, Caldas, and Mulva 2012). Such problems might be
categorized around the allocated budget and at the level of quality within set schedules. Moreover, Sack and Harel (2006) assert that another challenge
associated with the oil and gas industry is finding the capable consultants/contractors, and the improper tendering competition. Furthermore, there is a

Post Contractual Contract Principles And The Insurer
Post–Contractual Contract
Secondly, the insurer must demonstrate post–contractual conduct. This includes handling claims and to make reasonably timed payments, but as
mentioned, the current law does not require the insurer to compensate for late or non–payment of a claim. In contrast, under Scots Law the courts
follow the ordinary contract principles and the insurer has an obligation to pay a claim once it has had an opportunity to be investigated. If there is
an unjustifiable delay, or the insurer wrongfully denies liability, it will be liable to pay the assured damages for any reasonably foreseeable loss
suffered as a result. This would be a satisfactory change to make in insurance law in England and Wales as it would enable equality to ... Show more

In 2014, 37% of small and medium–sized enterprises (SME) reported having cash flow problems and 66% of these stated that late payment was the
reason for this. Not only will time be spent attempting to recover their losses but it may leave a business unable to invest and have repercussions for
supplies, customers, employees and their families. Upon breach of a warranty by the assured, the insurer is discharged from all liability as from the
date of the breach regardless of whether the assured acted fraudulently, negligently or innocently, and regardless of whether or not the breach was
subsequently remedied. Both obligations of the insurer that have been analysed represent the need for change in insurance contract laws, as the current
laws provide disadvantages for the position of both parties.
Exceptions to the general rule
Additionally, it has been found that even in cases where an express term, promising the prompt payment of a claim, has been included within the
contract, the courts are unable to accept this. In Tonkin v UK Insurance Ltd a household policy contained the term stating that the insurer will provide
protection as soon as is possible 'but the judges rejected this claim and reinstated the principle outlined in Sprung, that they would and will not award
damages on damages. The court appear to be bound by this decision, again reinforcing the current laws detrimental affect on the assured. On the basis
of this, a reasonable change to be made would be to

Gap Analysis : Gap Filing Mechanism
Gap filing mechanism: It means that the contract should not consist of every detail because it causes a lengthy contract which is not appropriate for
anybody. So, they have to draft it in a way that it would contain necessary information and if any gap is seen in the contract the contract they have to
decide on the way which they opt for filling these gaps or they can determine a specific law or attachment to refer when they face such gaps. Foreseeing
Increased Material and Equipment Costs: By making efforts to overcome material shortages or high market demand due to time differential and
evaluate original pricing compared with proposed price. Inserting insurance terms in the contract: Inserting insurance terms is one of the ways to
manage the contract that decline claims because when damage occurs the important issue is about the compensation and the way by which damage and
costs will be covered and paid by insurance company. Related to this issue the contractor has two responsibilities. One of them is about inserting these
kinds of terms in the contract and the other is about overseeing on fulfilling of them. inserting an exclusion clause: Commitments and provisions which
are impracticable through the fulfilling of the contract must be excluded. For instance, exclusion of acceptance the force majeure. Guarantee rate of

English lawyers have deployed a variety of devices to overcome the privity of contract rule. These include the use of trusts, deed polls, agency
arrangements and assignment and novation provisions. The need for these devices will have to be reconsidered in the light of the new law.
New third party rights
The new law will give a third party rights to enforce a contractual term if the contract expressly so provides or if the term confers a benefit on the
third party. The third party must be identified (by name or as a member of a defined class) but does not have to be in existence when the contract is
made. The third party then has the same rights to enforce the contract as if it were a party to the contract. This also means that third parties can rely on
a contractual term excluding or limiting the third party 's liability.
These rights supplement and do not take away any rights that the third party would otherwise have under the existing law. The new law also cannot be
used to impose direct obligations on third parties. However, the contract can require third parties to comply with conditions if they want to enforce the
rights conferred on them.
Amendments
The contracting parties will not be able to amend the contract to vary the third party 's rights without the third party 's consent, once those rights have

The Case Study Deals With The Doctrine Of Estoppel Essay
The case study deals with the doctrine of estoppel, which states that the court can prevent a litigant from taking the matter to court where in normal
circumstances, it could have taken place in order to prevent an inequitable result on the other party. In that, estoppel occurs when one party depend
on the promise of another party and with that reliance that the party get injured or damaged. Therefore, estoppel impedes a person from asserting
anything to the contrary to what is stipulated or is in contemplation with the law, or has been established as the truth by judicial or legislative acts. In
this case study, Mr. Roberts relied on the promise that was made to him by Mr. Martin, who was the managing director of the Composters Company

Express terms:
Whether any dispute arises as to meaning of a contract it becomes necessary to construe (interpret) the terms of contract in order to ascertain intention
to parties.
Where contract is made orally, express terms of contract will be ascertained by determining the words actually used by the parties when contract was
made. This is essentially a question of fact.

One of the contracting parties may have (incorrectly) considered the representations to be terms.
Note: depending on the circumstances of a particular problem, the party who thought the misrepresentation was a term may have a legal action in other
areas of contract law, eg fraudulent misrepresentation, s. 52 TPA (misleading and deceptive conduct)
Statements made during negotiations may be: A term, A collateral contract A misrepresentation A puff.
Terms and Collateral Contracts:
If a document is signed then the parties to the agreement are bound by the contents of the documents signed read L'Estrange v Graucob (p219)
Unless there is a misrepresentation as to the contents of the document read Pukallus v Cameron(p249)
If the document is unsigned or the agreement is verbal then the courts may have to determine the terms of the contract. The courts have developed tests
over the years to assist them in identifying terms. These tests focus on the importance of the statements in issue to the parties, the time period between
the statements and the contract being formed, the specialist knowledge of either of the parties about the subject matter of the contract, and the
language used by the contracting parties.
If the representation is not a term of the contract the court may determine that it is a term of a collateral contract. A collateral contract is formed when

1. Infrastructure, building and construction contracts often contain so called "termination for convenience" provisions, operating independently of
breach, default or frustration. Termination of a contract has been considered as the legal consequence of certain kinds of breach, repudiation or

at the will of the contracting parties, or any one or more of them, have become known as "termination for convenience provisions" (referred to in this

The decision in The Amphitrite was controversial, but the existence of the doctrine was not. Thus, citing The Amphitrite, Mason J. said: "in the
absence of specific words, an undertaking which would affect the exercise of discretionary powers to be exercised for the public good, should not be
imputed to the Commonwealth". 10. Although the existence of the principle was not doubted, the reasoning of Rowlatt J. seemed to be that no
contract existed at all because of the doctrine. The reasoning suggested an absence of capacity to contract. If so, The Amphitrite was wrongly decided .
The circumstances in which the doctrine applied and consequences of its application have not proceeded on the basis of an absence of capacity in the
Crown and its instrumentalities to contract. Rather, issues of damages for breach or compensation were pursued. 11. There is no doubt about the
existence of the Doctrine in Australia and the United Kingdom. Its application was implicit and overriding, albeit within a narrow compass. A contract
validly entered, could not bind a government or statutory corporation from exercising its statutory powers, absent some statutory prohibition, to the
prejudice of the other party. Strictly, properly invoking the doctrine was not a breach of contract. Neither was it a frustrating event. It did not sound in
damages contrary to the argument of Hogg. Invoking the doctrine to terminate a contract may be the subject of administrative review

Theme Of Christian Justice In The Play 'Measure For Measure'
The title – Measure for Measure – gives us a glimpse into what resonates in this play– the exchange or trade of one for another. On the surface, the play
seems to be accepting this kind of "contractual justice", which is seen as conventional throughout the play. However, beneath the surface, as pointed
out by Manderson J, 'there is [...] a kind of contempt for the idea of contract in Measure for Measure.' Shakespeare is trying to point out that strictly
abiding to contracts or rules is not the way to uphold justice. The flaws in the idea of contract become the barrier to achieve justice. 'Shakespeare's
ideas about justice help lawyers understand the interplay between "mercy" and "justice".' Shakespeare's ideal Christian Justice is presented in the play
by emphasizing on the indispensability of one's moral conscience and mercy. This paper will discuss Christian Justice presented in the play... Show

The Law of Contract
Law of Contract
The word "Contract" means a legally binding exchange of agreement or promises between two parties which the law can enforce. Contract law is
originated from the Latin phrase know as "pacta sunt servanda" means promises has to be kept. Any kind of violation of any kind of contract is fully
recognized by any law of the land and the result of such violation can be provided. In general life, almost every citizen makes contract everyday. For
example, when purchasing a house, written contract is required.
However, in most cases majority of contracts are made verbally, for example in a case where a student purchasing a biology textbook from a fellow
student, or purchasing a pizza at the Pizza Hub. Contract law can also be categorized as is habitual in civil law systems, as part of a general law of
obligations along with tort, unjust enrichment or restitution.

Market conditions that affect an award's fair value (including exercisability) are included in the estimate of grant–date fair value (see paragraph

performance or service conditions that affect an award's fair value are included in the estimate of grant–date fair value (see that same paragraph)." c.
Due to the inclusion of the pertinent factors phrase and the fact that market conditions affect an award's fair value, the $6 grant–date fair value, with

FISHER–GENERAL MOTORS AND THE NATURE OF THE FIRM* BENJAMIN KLEIN University of California, Los Angeles Abstract After
working well for more than 5 years, the Fisher Body–General Motors (GM) contract for the supply of automobile bodies broke down when GM's
demand for Fisher's bodies unexpectedly increased dramatically. This pushed the imperfect contractual arrangement between the parties outside the
self–enforcing range and led Fisher to take advantage of the fact that GM was contractually obligated to purchase bodies on a cost–plus basis. Fisher
increased its short–term proп¬Ѓt by failing to make the investments required by GM in a plant located near GM production facilities in Flint, Michigan.

Fisher then refused to make the necessary capital investments required to produce bodies efficiently for GM, in particular refusing to build an
important body plant close to a GM production facility in Flint, Michigan. These contractual difficulties were the primary reason GM decided in
1926 to vertically integrate with Fisher Body. The marked change in Fisher's behavior between the early 1919–24 period and the later 1925–26 period

recent case in which a court has summarily rejected a borrower 's claim that the lender violated the duty of good faith and fair dealing. Many courts

Then a discussion of the objective and subjective test of good faith will take place before finally concluding that the good faith obligation should not
be imposed in debtor–creditor situations to override express terms of a contract. II.The U.C.C. A.The Good Faith Performance Obligation and the
U.C.C. The central provision of the U.C.C. 's good faith requirement is found in В§ 1–203, which provides that "every contract or duty within this Act
imposes an obligation of good faith in its performance or enforcement." With regard to debtor–creditor relationships in particular, this obligation of
good faith performance imposes on a lender a duty to deal in good faith with its borrower in all situations, not only in situations where, because of the
circumstances of the loan, the lender has assumed actual control over and a fiduciary responsibility for the borrower. One troublesome but important
aspect of the good faith performance obligation is its application to contracts, which provide that one party to the contract may, in its "sole discretion,"
take certain actions pursuant to the contract. In such cases, the actions of the party who can exercise its discretion may affect all parties to the
contract, and dependent parties must rely on the "good faith" of the party given the right to exercise its discretion. Often, the discretion exercised by
the party in control will adversely affect the dependent party. However, it does not necessarily follow that

not fulfilling the economic purpose of the treaty. A Similar logic was applied in the Saluka v. The Czech Republic. Therefore, the access method to

The Terms Of A Contract
The terms of a contract refer to the obligations of the parties entering into the contract. These terms are the contents of the contract, which determine the
parties' rights and obligations. Consequently, the law classifies the terms in two ways. Firstly, the law can look at the terms according to the
consequences of breach involving the nature of each term as a condition, warranty or innominate. Secondly, they may investigate the method through
which the terms got into the contract, explicitly or implicitly. Courts have the option to examine these two methods to reach an understanding of the
obligations of each party in the contract breached by one party. In reference to the first method, this essay will focus on the ability of implicit terms
to enter into a contract. An implicit term is not expressly agreed to by the parties, but nevertheless are either read into the contract or arise from other
sources of law. To clarify, parties may not have expressly included the term due to forgetfulness, previous contract with the party or because it may
have been obvious due to the parties presence in the same trade. If the parties do not include a term, the court can imply a term for business efficacy.
This is done in order to make a contract work. Accordingly, the court aims to make valid the intention of the parties. The Moorcock (1889) involved a
term not included, but of such an obvious nature that the parties did not think to include it in the contractual terms. Subsequently,

Case Analysis : Aerospace And Transport Planes Industry
Background of the case: LabCo is a construction firm that customizes and manufactures large, industrial machinery and equipment and sell to its
customers. Its customers include Aerospace and Transport Planes industry. LabCo negotiates a contract with its customers on either a fixed–price or
cost–plus basis. The company 's accounting policy to recognize revenue outlines that revenues and fees are recognized using the
percentage–of–completion method, which is based on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated costs at completion. The other
policy that they use is the completed–contract method, which is used when reliably dependable estimates of the total costs to be incurred under a
specific contract cannot be made. LabCo enters into contract trouble with one of its customer, Halibut, whom asks Labco to build a six–axis laser

What Is A Standby Credit?
What is a standby credit? Standby credits are a type of letter of credit. They are also called "standby letters of credit". The common feature of all
letters of credit is an undertaking by a bank to pay the beneficiary of the letter of credit a specific sum within a specified time limit against the
presentation of specific documents in accordance with the terms of the letter of credit. Standby credits are a type of quasi–security, in that although it
can be used to secure obligations, it does not create rights against assets. It creates rights against a party, being (for example) the issuing bank. Another
example of a quasi–security is a demand guarantee. See Boral Formwork v Action Makers [2003] NSWSC 713 which explains standby credits,... Show

In practice, this means standby credits create an obligation on the bank to make a payment of a specific sum to a named beneficiary on demand.
The use and purpose of standby credits explained Standby credits were designed to provide a means for securing payment or other obligations if a
party to the underlying transaction defaults in its obligations. A typical standby credit consists of an undertaking by a bank to pay a named
beneficiary a specific sum if the beneficiary presents the bank with the documents listed in the standby credit. Standby credits are often issued to
support a party 's obligations under a contract and the key document to be presented under such a standby credit is usually a certificate or declaration
from the beneficiary confirming that the other party has not performed its obligations under that contract. Standby credits are a useful tool because the
bank does not get involved in whether the underlying contract has been breached or not. The bank will pay out if the beneficiary of the standby credit
presents the relevant documents to the bank in accordance with the terms of the standby credit. Standby credits can be used in a variety of situations,

The Marine Insurance Act 1906
Introduction.
The Marine Insurance Act 1906 ("MIA 1906") sets out a duty of utmost good faith between contracting parties in insurance contracts. This duty is
unusual in English contract law and imposes a heavy burden on the parties. As a result, it has been the subject of much academic debate, culminating in
statutory reforms. This essay will analyse the duty in both its traditional and revised form, focusing on whether its merits outweigh its weaknesses and
whether it should be retained.
The duty in brief.
Utmost good faith ("UGF") (or uberrima fides) imposes a requirement of honesty and of full–disclosure between contracting parties. The distinction
between good faith and UGF is unclear. It has been suggested that good faith is simply 'fair and open dealing between all contracting parties'. UGF
instead imposes a negative obligation not to make misleading statements as well as a positive obligation to disclose facts which might affect the other
party entering into the contract.
The roots of the duty of utmost good faith.
The principle of uberrima fides in the insurance contract has been traced back to Lord Mansfield in Carter v Boehm, with the first judicial attempt to set
out the duty. He based the duty of disclosure on the fact that 'insurance is a contract upon speculation', highlighting the imbalance of information
between the insurer and the assured. The contingency is calculated on facts which are generally only known to the assured. This was regarded by Lord

The Articles Of Association ( Aoa ) Forms The Constitution...
The Articles of Association (AOA) forms the constitution of the Company. It regulates the internal affairs of the company by defining the
responsibilities of directors, the type of business and the means by which the shareholders exert control over the Board of Directors . This essay
will illustrate the similarities and differences of the AOA to a contract and how it is special in nature. Based on Section 14 of the Companies Act
1985 , AOAs are on the same level and to the same extent as if the company and shareholders had signed a contract. This is illustrated by Sterling J's
statement in Wood v Odessa Waterworks Company which reads: 'The articles of association constitutes a contract not merely between shareholders
and the company but also between the individual shareholders and every other' . The equivalence of AOA to a contract is conclusive in New British
Iron Co per Wright J's judgment whereby it completely replaces or stands in lieu of the missing employment contract. This highlights the fact that
AOA possesses contractual value and is contractual by nature. In simple terms, it is from its conception considered as an enforceable agreement and
hence it is legally binding. As such, it is evident that AOAs serves all purposes of a regular contract. AOAs however is a special legal document as it
possesses distinct features that differentiates it from being an 'ordinary' contract . An ordinary contract has permanent signatories or perpetual parties

such, the point of acceptance by Claude is taken to be the time when the contract was made. 17 A reasonable person would agree, the receipt handed
over by Claude would have taken place after the payment was accepted and therefore the clause was introduced in a belated manner – as the judges in
the previously mentioned case Thornton v Shoe Land Parking (1971) inferred notice of the exclusion clause should have been given before the ticket

  • 2. Swot Analysis For Sand Sales the market in sand sales, we have to operate differently. We must set negotiating parameters for the sales team, analyze our current agreements to ensure compliance, work with IT and legal to force compliance for all non–compliant situations, and develop a contract management system going forward that tracks not only the customer's contract compliance, but ours as well. This will be a large under–taking that will require time and cooperation from the following departments: finance, billing, planning, logistics, sales, IT, Legal, and procurement. There are two different change alternatives; one that will give us the ability to accurately forecast production and profit but that may make us a difficult supplier, and another that will make us a better supplier, but will require a lot of contract compliance management tracking. Each of these change alternatives has certain risks that are associated with it, but overall we must consider the option that brings our business more value, regardless of the amount of time or effort this change will require. Finally, regardless of the change alternative the business chooses, we will need to procure and implement an enterprise–wide contract management tool. 2.Business Need and Current Situation The current mismanagement of customer contracts is interrupting our supply chain and logistics operations, which is negatively affecting our ability to fulfill obligations for other contract and spot–buy customers, which costs us wasted time, ...

INTRODUCTION Because of their nature as being protracted contracts of an excessive cost, shipbuilding contracts may entail a number of serious risks for both their counterparts, that may result to great damage in their financial standing. While at the past years the shipbuilding market witnessed a period of economic boom, with a great number of shipowners ordering ships from the shipyards of China, Korea and Japan (the dominants of the newbuilding sector) and signing the relevant shipbuilding contracts, the economic crisis of 2008, affecting the world/global/worldwide market as well as the shipbuilding market, came to cause great pressure and anxiety to the Buyers in the above mentioned shipbuilding contracts, who felt now more than ever ...

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONTRACTUAL TERMS – PROPER DRAFTING FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF CONDITIONS AND INNOMINATE TERMS An other challenge for the draftsmen of a shipbuilding contact is to manage to illustrate clearly and undoubtedly the true willing of the counterparts and more importantly the terms of the contract that are of such importance to the parties that without their inclusion in the contract they would not have contracted at the first place or a breach of whom makes the contract substantially different from that the parties intended. In a breach of such a term the parties do no longer have an interest on continuing the contract, since that term is vital for the whole agreement. Such a term is considered to be a condition that usually refers to the main points and aspects of the contract, in the root of the deal/agreement, rather than in details of little ...

  • 4. Sam Cheeseman Case The contract is a legally–enforceable promise or a set of promises. The four elements of the contract are 1) the agreement, 2) the consideration, 3) contractual capability, and 4) lawful object (Cheeseman, 2015, p. 188). These elements are required to exist for a contract between Sam and the chain store to be valid. The first element of the contract is the agreement which is a combination of the offer and an acceptance which both need to exist. The agreement between Sam and the chain store exists because Sam had verbally agreed to send 1,000 units to the chain store, as per conversation with the store manager. The second element of the valid contract is the consideration which could exist if both parties, Sam and the chain store, had agreed... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The equitable doctrine of implied–in–law contract, a quasi–contract, would have allowed the court to award monetary damages to a plaintiff for providing work or services to a defendant even though no actual contract existed between the parties (Cheeseman, 2015, p. 195). This would apply to the situation in which Sam received some form of payment for his units before he shipped the units to the store. In this case, Sam would have been under the legal obligation to send the units to the chain store. Promissory estoppel (or detrimental reliance) is an equity doctrine that permits a court to order enforcement of a contract that lacks consideration (Cheeseman, 2015, p. 220). Promissory estoppel is used to avoid injustice. The elements of the promissory estoppel include the promisor making a promise, the promiseГ© replying to the promise, the promiseГ© taking action on the promise, and experiencing injustice when the promise was not enforced. The promissory estoppel in this case is invalid because there was no discussion about the compensation in return for the 1,000 units, no action based on the promise, and no injustice suffered as a result of fulfilling a ...

  • 5. Plaintiff Case Study Plaintiffs' allegation that they suffered a constructive eviction is also legally deficient. Although a tenant is justified in abandoning the premises if a landlord's breach renders the premises uninhabitable, a tenant waives the landlord's breach if she does not vacate the premises within a reasonable time. Shaker & Associates v. Medical Technologies Group, Ltd., 315 Ill. App. 3d 126, 135 (1st Dist. 2000). Various factors are considered when determining whether the length of time before vacation is reasonable, such as promises by the landlord to repair and time required to find a new location. Id. While the question of what constitutes a reasonable time for vacation is usually a question of fact, "it may become a question of law." Chicago... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Despite these opportunities, Plaintiffs still have not filed a complaint that complies with section 2–603 of the Code, and therefore, this Court should strike their complaint with prejudice. Further, Plaintiffs have not alleged sufficient facts to sustain an anticipatory repudiation of a contract claim, and have waived any claim based on a constructive eviction. Finally, Plaintiffs cannot maintain their breach of contract causes of action because, by their own admission, they failed to perform their contractual obligations. Therefore, Counts V, VI and VII should be dismissed with prejudice. WHEREFORE, pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2–603(a) and (b), Defendants respectfully request that the Court grant their motion and dismiss Plaintiffs' Third Amended Complaint for failing to plead a plain and concise statement. In the alternative, pursuant to sections735 ILCS 5/2–619.1, 2–615, and 2–619(a)(9), Defendants respectfully request that the Court grant their motion and dismiss Counts II, V, VI, and VII of Plaintiffs' Third Amended Complaint and request such further relief as the Court deems just and ...

  • 6. Case Analysis : Oil And Gas Industry A claim is commonly regarded as a four–letter word which draws the line in the sand between the contactor and the employer. It is a better strategy to manage claims instead of behaving them in an emotional and inappropriate way which make them to legal actions. Claims are normal issues in oil and gas projects and are considered as rights of parties. We are not allowed to insert a term or provision which deprives parties of this right, entirely. Claim is a right which must be demanded by a party and has to have legal and contractual evidence. Otherwise, it would be a false and unrealistic claim. So, the claim is a written statement by one of the parties relies on the right of he/she demands other party or it is possible that one of the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In upstream industries D phase is also a risk taking phase. It means that if the contractor do not reach the considered production rate after exploration and Commercialization, there will be no sum which is allocated to him and he could not have any claim. So, in upstream, from phase E till P claims are more important and have higher contents. Depends on the types of contracts and agreements of the MARYAM GHAEM 2 parties types of claims might be different. In this period obligations of the employer are in minimum level, but contractor`s commitments and obligations are in maximum level. So, the number of claims is low. In production phase the number of claims is usually more because parties have obligations to each other and their mutual obligations affect their incomes, directly. In addition, claims which are not suitable to put forward, in this phase, because of reaching to products, are demandable. Contractor documents claims in D&A&E phases and demands these claims in production phase. In claim area, we are not facing the actions and omissions of our period, but their causes were in past and were documented. International companies have the structures of claims from the beginning of the contractual process and document them from now for following years. Also, the main flaw of the oil companies (host countries) is in this period because it is the beginning of the contract, they do not consider claims and demands of the end of the contract. For this main reason, Risk ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. Employment Law Essay In order to discuss and analyse the above statement, in depth reference will be made to various documents which can in some circumstances relate to contracts of employment and whether those particular documents which are not contractual can be incorporated into a contract, creating legal enforceability for employers and employees. Firstly it must be established what exactly is a contract of employment. A contract of employment is an agreement between an employer and employee, forming the basis of an employment relationship; enforceable by law. Contracts of employment may be given orally or in writing: Employment Rights Act 1996 s 230(2) and commence immediately. Actual written contracts require an employee's signature and the signature of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The case of Gascol Conversions v Mercer demonstrates an instance whereby the statutory particulars were held to be the contract, as the statement of the written terms had been sent to the employee who had signed them and a receipt. In other words he was agreeing that the document accurately represented the terms of the employment, he had signed what he acknowledged to be a written contract. Clearly demonstrating that a document that is not itself contractual can be incorporated into a contract, it is thus possible for what would normally be a section 1 statement to be transformed into a formal written contract by the parties signing it . Later cases showed a somewhat opposing view System Floors (U.K.) Ltd. v. Daniel [1982] I.C.R. 54, noted (1982) I.L.J. 118. Employment Appeal Tribunal. This was not really a contractual term at all, but a factual statement, probably inappropriate for inclusion in a contract. When starting employment, employees will often be provided with a substantial amount of documents, these may be in the form of works rules, company/employment handbooks and policies. Documents like these could if proven, have some contractual effect by way of express or implied incorporation or custom ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 10. Ethical Considerations Behind New Alternatives to Abortion. Eric Bronkhurst Prof. Robinson 10/31/06 Question #2 With technological advances of today, parents who are unable to substantially procreate are now given the opportunity to bear children. New techniques for procreation include Artificial Insemination, Surrogacy and In–Vitro Fertilization, all which have brought about happiness to families. Unfortunately, at the same time many of these new reproductive techniques may bring about ethical considerations and debates, causing pain and legal arguments. All of these ethical considerations warrant governmental and contractual regulation as a way of guidance in handling these situations. The ethical considerations and debates that surround many of these new reproductive techniques are ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Whitehead was permitted to view the child on a weekly basis which in my opinion disregards the best interest of the child. (Appleton, 1107) It is understandable that a woman 's connection and bonding to the child during pregnancy can have a huge impact on one 's life, but in this case you must also take into consideration the intended parents. If the government had stricter regulations regarding the contractual agreement proposed prior to the surrogacy, the whole issue wouldn 't have been brought forth. I believe the government should require a certain time period for mental contemplation or counseling which would determine whether the surrogate mother was capable of going through with the pregnancy. By claiming that the contract infringement doesn 't violate the Stern 's constitutional rights is invalid because it denies Mr. Stern personally the right to not procreate. A contractual obligation must be strict because if the contract is disregarded, then it puts a sort of questionable authority on the government, and the meaning behind a contract degenerate. When going into surrogacy, the intentions were based upon having a child for his wife and himself, not to adopt a woman 's child who used his sperm. Government regulation is warranted due to this fact that contract infringement could violate ones ' constitutional rights as ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 11. Bettini V Warranty Traditionally terms were classified as either conditions or warranties. A condition can be defined as a major term of the contract which goes to the root of the contract. If a condition is breached the innocent party is entitled to end the contract and claim damages. An example of a condition breach of a contract is Poussard V Spiers (1876).where Madame Poussard entered into a contract with Spiers as and Opera singer and became ill days prior to the opening night and as a result was unable to perform for the first four nights of the show. Spiers then replaced her with another singer. The court held that Madame Poussard was in breach of condition and Spiers was entitled to end the contract. Warranties on the other hand are minor terms of a contract, which are not central to the existence of the contract. If a warranty is breached the innocent my claim damages but cannot terminate the contract. This is evident in the case Bettini V Gye (1876) where Bettini entered into a contract as an Opera singer with Gye. He became ill and missed six day of rehearsal, his employer fired him and replaced him with another singer. It was held that Bettini was in breach of a warranty and therefore the employee was not entitled to end the contract, missing the rehearsal did... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... As this was not the case, the breach did not justify termination. What Lord Diplock was escentially trying to convey is that there should be more flexibility to treat breaches of contract looking at the nature of the event which causes the breach and the consequences which result of the breach. He also said that very trivial occurrences as well as serious defects such as a total loss of the vessel are treated in the same way, which gives the charterer the right to elect whether to terminate a contract or ...

The outline of tasks and stages that have to be completed during project and when the building will be in use is presented below. This is a simple diagram of RIBA Plan of Work 2013– bespoke planning tool used in the industry – full version is available in the Appendix 1. (RIBA, 2013a. p.16) Before we proceed with refurbishment planning I will have to carry out necessary surveys. Measurement – to assess the size of the building which will help in evaluating quantities; structural – to get an idea of needed demolition, services that are in place and the possibility of providing new ones and asbestos survey – which is necessary precaution to address hazards in the building. In this report I am going to analyse the procurement routes that would be suitable for your project. I will outline tendering process and present the standard forms of contracts available.

The warranty effect normally extends 48 months out of Aircraft age. The airline incurs only routine maintenance costs during this period if they have introduced efficient processes to capture all warranty opportunities. Some airlines with MRO attachment can also generate some profits from the warranty business where they recover the costs plus a certain margin they made out of manpower either from their own airline or a third party airline customer. The Introduction of new aircraft received with a comprehensive warranty support normally during the first years of aircraft age hence contributing significantly to maintenance cost reduction. The guarantees last for much longer normally ten years of Aircraft age. It is anticipated that during this period and in case of reliability issues, OEMs will intervene and offer product support which includes free repairs/loaner and modification. Furthermore, the OEMs provide below remedies under the PSA terms: – Free of charge repairs/replacements for parts. – Materials and Labour reimbursement cost for defect corrections. – No charge replacement parts for rogue parts.

  • 17. The Oil And Gas Industry One of the most capital intensive and globalized industries is the energy sector because of its operations that are inherently complex. As such, the oil and gas projects experience overruns of costs that exceeds 100 percent at times, which have created the need for adoption of new contracting strategies (Schramn, Meibner, & Weidinger, 2009). The risks in most cases are contractually distributed and shared among the energy project stakeholders instead of leaving it to the owner. Some of the risks include the reputational risk, environmental risks, and the disasters experienced and which exposes the companies to the costly process of litigation. Accordingly, the oil and gas industry fails to achieve different aspects of the overall strategic business goals because of the challenges that occur in the projects undertaken (Chanmeka, Thomas, Caldas, and Mulva 2012). Such problems might be categorized around the allocated budget and at the level of quality within set schedules. Moreover, Sack and Harel (2006) assert that another challenge associated with the oil and gas industry is finding the capable consultants/contractors, and the improper tendering competition. Furthermore, there is a persistent problem, which is evident in most consultants/ contractors who are reluctant to adopt the contracting strategies that are unique to the individual oil and gas projects (Schramn, Meibner & Weidinger, 2009).

This includes handling claims and to make reasonably timed payments, but as mentioned, the current law does not require the insurer to compensate for late or non–payment of a claim. In contrast, under Scots Law the courts follow the ordinary contract principles and the insurer has an obligation to pay a claim once it has had an opportunity to be investigated. If there is an unjustifiable delay, or the insurer wrongfully denies liability, it will be liable to pay the assured damages for any reasonably foreseeable loss suffered as a result.

Not only will time be spent attempting to recover their losses but it may leave a business unable to invest and have repercussions for supplies, customers, employees and their families. Upon breach of a warranty by the assured, the insurer is discharged from all liability as from the date of the breach regardless of whether the assured acted fraudulently, negligently or innocently, and regardless of whether or not the breach was subsequently remedied. Both obligations of the insurer that have been analysed represent the need for change in insurance contract laws, as the current laws provide disadvantages for the position of both parties. Exceptions to the general rule Additionally, it has been found that even in cases where an express term, promising the prompt payment of a claim, has been included within the contract, the courts are unable to accept this.

So, they have to draft it in a way that it would contain necessary information and if any gap is seen in the contract the contract they have to decide on the way which they opt for filling these gaps or they can determine a specific law or attachment to refer when they face such gaps.

These include the use of trusts, deed polls, agency arrangements and assignment and novation provisions. The need for these devices will have to be reconsidered in the light of the new law. New third party rights The new law will give a third party rights to enforce a contractual term if the contract expressly so provides or if the term confers a benefit on the third party. The third party must be identified (by name or as a member of a defined class) but does not have to be in existence when the contract is made. The third party then has the same rights to enforce the contract as if it were a party to the contract. This also means that third parties can rely on a contractual term excluding or limiting the third party 's liability. These rights supplement and do not take away any rights that the third party would otherwise have under the existing law. The new law also cannot be used to impose direct obligations on third parties. However, the contract can require third parties to comply with conditions if they want to enforce the rights conferred on them.

The Case Study Deals With The Doctrine Of Estoppel Essay The case study deals with the doctrine of estoppel, which states that the court can prevent a litigant from taking the matter to court where in normal circumstances, it could have taken place in order to prevent an inequitable result on the other party. In that, estoppel occurs when one party depend on the promise of another party and with that reliance that the party get injured or damaged. Therefore, estoppel impedes a person from asserting anything to the contrary to what is stipulated or is in contemplation with the law, or has been established as the truth by judicial or legislative acts. In this case study, Mr. Roberts relied on the promise that was made to him by Mr. Martin, who was the managing director of the Composters Company Ltd. The promise stated that their contract would be extended for another four years if they would comply with the rules and regulations that have been set on producing wheat straws. Therefore, Mr. Robert would make a claim under promissory estoppel stating that composters should stay true to their word and the promise they made to Mr. Robert as he relied on the promise and bought machinery to produce what straws for the two seasons.

The decision in The Amphitrite was controversial, but the existence of the doctrine was not. Thus, citing The Amphitrite, Mason J. said: "in the absence of specific words, an undertaking which would affect the exercise of discretionary powers to be exercised for the public good, should not be imputed to the Commonwealth". 10. Although the existence of the principle was not doubted, the reasoning of Rowlatt J. seemed to be that no contract existed at all because of the doctrine. The reasoning suggested an absence of capacity to contract. If so, The Amphitrite was wrongly decided . The circumstances in which the doctrine applied and consequences of its application have not proceeded on the basis of an absence of capacity in the Crown and its instrumentalities to contract. Rather, issues of damages for breach or compensation were pursued. 11. There is no doubt about the existence of the Doctrine in Australia and the United Kingdom. Its application was implicit and overriding, albeit within a narrow compass. A contract validly entered, could not bind a government or statutory corporation from exercising its statutory powers, absent some statutory prohibition, to the prejudice of the other party.

However, beneath the surface, as pointed out by Manderson J, 'there is [...] a kind of contempt for the idea of contract in Measure for Measure.'

II.The U.C.C. A.The Good Faith Performance Obligation and the U.C.C. The central provision of the U.C.C. 's good faith requirement is found in В§ 1–203, which provides that "every contract or duty within this Act imposes an obligation of good faith in its performance or enforcement." With regard to debtor–creditor relationships in particular, this obligation of good faith performance imposes on a lender a duty to deal in good faith with its borrower in all situations, not only in situations where, because of the circumstances of the loan, the lender has assumed actual control over and a fiduciary responsibility for the borrower. One troublesome but important aspect of the good faith performance obligation is its application to contracts, which provide that one party to the contract may, in its "sole discretion," take certain actions pursuant to the contract. In such cases, the actions of the party who can exercise its discretion may affect all parties to the contract, and dependent parties must rely on the "good faith" of the party given the right to exercise its discretion.

  • 33. The Terms Of A Contract The terms of a contract refer to the obligations of the parties entering into the contract. These terms are the contents of the contract, which determine the parties' rights and obligations. Consequently, the law classifies the terms in two ways. Firstly, the law can look at the terms according to the consequences of breach involving the nature of each term as a condition, warranty or innominate. Secondly, they may investigate the method through which the terms got into the contract, explicitly or implicitly. Courts have the option to examine these two methods to reach an understanding of the obligations of each party in the contract breached by one party. In reference to the first method, this essay will focus on the ability of implicit terms to enter into a contract. An implicit term is not expressly agreed to by the parties, but nevertheless are either read into the contract or arise from other sources of law. To clarify, parties may not have expressly included the term due to forgetfulness, previous contract with the party or because it may have been obvious due to the parties presence in the same trade. If the parties do not include a term, the court can imply a term for business efficacy. This is done in order to make a contract work.

  • 35. What Is A Standby Credit? What is a standby credit? Standby credits are a type of letter of credit. They are also called "standby letters of credit". The common feature of all letters of credit is an undertaking by a bank to pay the beneficiary of the letter of credit a specific sum within a specified time limit against the presentation of specific documents in accordance with the terms of the letter of credit. Standby credits are a type of quasi–security, in that although it can be used to secure obligations, it does not create rights against assets. It creates rights against a party, being (for example) the issuing bank. Another example of a quasi–security is a demand guarantee.

In practice, this means standby credits create an obligation on the bank to make a payment of a specific sum to a named beneficiary on demand.

The Company then contracted with various CRNAs in Hawaii to fulfill the terms of the contract with the Facility. The Company also sourced CRNAs from the mainland for temporary assignments when local resources were not available. The Company derives its profit from the difference between what it pays the CRNAs and what it charges the Facilities for the services. Unfortunately, it is not certain whether the CRNA ...

  • 37. The Marine Insurance Act 1906 Introduction. The Marine Insurance Act 1906 ("MIA 1906") sets out a duty of utmost good faith between contracting parties in insurance contracts. This duty is unusual in English contract law and imposes a heavy burden on the parties. As a result, it has been the subject of much academic debate, culminating in statutory reforms. This essay will analyse the duty in both its traditional and revised form, focusing on whether its merits outweigh its weaknesses and whether it should be retained. The duty in brief. Utmost good faith ("UGF") (or uberrima fides) imposes a requirement of honesty and of full–disclosure between contracting parties. The distinction between good faith and UGF is unclear. It has been suggested that good faith is simply 'fair and open dealing between all contracting parties'. UGF instead imposes a negative obligation not to make misleading statements as well as a positive obligation to disclose facts which might affect the other party entering into the contract. The roots of the duty of utmost good faith. The principle of uberrima fides in the insurance contract has been traced back to Lord Mansfield in Carter v Boehm, with the first judicial attempt to set out the duty. He based the duty of disclosure on the fact that 'insurance is a contract upon speculation', highlighting the imbalance of information between the insurer and the assured. The contingency is calculated on facts which are generally only known to the assured. This was regarded by Lord ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 38. The Articles Of Association ( Aoa ) Forms The Constitution... The Articles of Association (AOA) forms the constitution of the Company. It regulates the internal affairs of the company by defining the responsibilities of directors, the type of business and the means by which the shareholders exert control over the Board of Directors . This essay will illustrate the similarities and differences of the AOA to a contract and how it is special in nature. Based on Section 14 of the Companies Act 1985 , AOAs are on the same level and to the same extent as if the company and shareholders had signed a contract. This is illustrated by Sterling J's statement in Wood v Odessa Waterworks Company which reads: 'The articles of association constitutes a contract not merely between shareholders and the company but also between the individual shareholders and every other' . The equivalence of AOA to a contract is conclusive in New British Iron Co per Wright J's judgment whereby it completely replaces or stands in lieu of the missing employment contract. This highlights the fact that AOA possesses contractual value and is contractual by nature. In simple terms, it is from its conception considered as an enforceable agreement and hence it is legally binding. As such, it is evident that AOAs serves all purposes of a regular contract. AOAs however is a special legal document as it possesses distinct features that differentiates it from being an 'ordinary' contract .

However in the cases of ticket machines, Lord Denning commented 16 that "the issue of this ticket was regarded as an offer...if the customer took it and retained it without objection, his act was regarded as an acceptance of the offer" – Thornton v Shoe Lane Parking (1971). As such, the point of acceptance by Claude is taken to be the time when the contract was made. 17 A reasonable person would agree, the receipt handed over by Claude would have taken place after the payment was accepted and therefore the clause was introduced in a belated manner – as the judges in the previously mentioned case Thornton v Shoe Land Parking (1971) inferred notice of the exclusion clause should have been given before the ticket was issued. 18 Consequently, Claude‟s only hope of being protected lies within the clause printed on the sign at the counter. To be effectively exempt of any of Vincent‟s claims, Claude must prove that Vincent knew of this clause or that reasonable notice was given prior to the contract being made. 19 What constitutes "reasonable notice" is a question of the facts. 21 20 However, as stated ...
