A contractual term is “Any provision forming part of a contract”.
Each term gives rise to a contractual obligation, breach of which can give rise to litigation.
Not all terms are stated expressly and some terms carry less legal gravity as they are peripheral to the objectives of the contract.
In general, parties can only sue for enforcement of valid contractual terms as opposed to representations or mere puffs.
An exemption clause is an agreement in a contract that stipulates that a party is limited or excluded from liability.
There are three types of clauses, these are a ‘limitation clause’; this is where a party is limited from liability.
The other is an ‘exclusion clause’; this is where a party is excluded from liability.
‘Time limitation clause’ states that an action for a claim must be commenced within a certain period of time or the cause of action becomes extinguished.
This is a presentation on the terms of a contract. It covers the general concepts of terms of a contract. It is ideal for beginner to intermediate level Contract Law students

Show Me My Money (Reisenfeld & Company v. The Network Group Inc., p. 313)
Why does the court see this case as involving a quasi-contract as opposed to an actual contract? What other case law does the court rely on in finding precedent/support for compensating Reisenfeld? Does this decision appear to follow the golden rule guideline set forth in Chapter 2 (pp. 27 and 28)? Describe another example of an implied-in-fact or quasi-contract that you have experienced or is mentioned in the text.

CASE
13-3
REISENFELD & CO. v. THE NETWORK GROUP, INC.;
BUILDERS SQUARE, INC.; KMART CORP. U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT 277 F.3d 856 U.S. App. (2002)
Network Group (“Network”) was contracted by BSI to assist in selling or subleasing closed Kmart stores in Ohio. A few years later, Network entered into a commission agreement with Reisenfeld, a real estate broker for Dick's Clothing and Sporting Goods (“Dicks”). Dicks then subleased two stores from BSI. According to executed assignment and assumption agreements signed in November of 1994, BSI was to pay a commission to Network. Network was then responsible, pursuant to the commission agreement with Reisenfeld, to pay a commission of $1 per square foot to Reisenfeld. There was no direct agreement made between BSI and Reisenfeld.
During this time, Network's sole shareholder was defrauding BSI. This shareholder was convicted of several criminal charges stemming from his fraudulent acts. Network was ordered by the district court to disgorge any commissions received from BSI, and BSI was relieved of any duty to pay additional commissions to Network. As such, Reisenfeld never received his commission related to the Dicks sublease.
Reisenfeld sued in state court for the $160,320 in commissions he had not been paid. In addition to suing Network, Reisenfeld also named BSI as a defendant. The suit alleged, among other things, that based on a theory of quasi-contracts, BSI was jointly and severally liable for the commission.
JUDGE BOOGS: . . .
A contract implied-in-law, or “quasi-contract,” is not a true contract, but instead a liability imposed by courts in order to prevent unjust enrichment. … Under Ohio law, there are three elements for a quasi-contract claim. There must be: (1) a benefit conferred by the plaintiff upon the defendant; (2) knowledge by the defendant of the benefit; and (3) retention of the benefit by the defendant under circumstances where it would be unjust to do so without payment. …
There is no disagreement as to the first two requirements. It is clear that Reisenfeld's work as broker benefited BSI and that BSI was aware of the work Reisenfeld was doing. The disagreement rests on the third requirement—whether it would be unjust for BSI to retain the benefit it received without paying Reisenfeld for it. … U.
Research Study on Contract Law: The equitable doctrine where brought to provide equity in cases which had a defect in consideration, at which it is unconscionable for a party to suffer the determent. The court has the power to practice judicial discretion in these circumstances, where seen there is unjust enrichment or unconscionable. However, it is mandatory for the applicant filing for equity to satisfy the conditions forming the equitable doctrine.
The predictability and certainty of these causes have lead to comprise the law, having it called “The dangerous doctrine”, as a person could preplan the events that will lead another person to be victimized by an estoppel. Rather having solid common law that sets the rules, equitable doctrine bend these rules and compromises the law.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Losing Their Grip - The Case of Henry Keogh - table of contents
The Secretary of the Board of Skyways was empowered in discussions with the
British Air Line Pilots Association to agree to payments to redundant aircrew
members of an ex gratia amount with regard to pension and superannuation. The
Company and Association reps met and agreed that payment would be made of an ex
gratia amount with regard to the pension payment, and a refund of contributions. The
decision was published in the newsletter. One redundant pilot was told what his
payment and refund would be. He received the refund, but then the company
rescinded its decision to make the ex gratia payments. When he sought to recover it,
he was told that there was no obligation to pay it.
HELD Megaw LJ
The company admits that a promise was made and that it intended to carry it out. The
plaintiff acted on the belief that it would be fulfilled. The Co says the promise and
agreement had no legal effect because there was no intention to enter legal
relations. Rose and Frank and Balfour recognise that an agreement may not give rise
to legal rights because this was not intended - in the social relations of that case. Even
regarding business affairs, the parties can show that it was their intention to make the
agreement binding in honour only and the courts will respect that intention.
In this case the matter is business relations. There was a meeting of minds, an
intention to agree. I am not sure how the "objective" test of intention works between a
company and a trade association where there were 5 or 6 people on either side.
However, the company says, ex gratia means not binding and the background
knowledge understood it as such. Ex gratia may mean without admission of liability,
or without there being any pre-existing legal right (may be to avoid setting an
2. awkward precedent). Settlements are often expressed in this way. But this does not
mean that such agreements are legally unenforceable.
It was understood at the meeting that if the payments were made as a result of a
legally enforceable agreement, they would be taxable. But if made without legal
obligation on the part of the company, then it would not be taxable. So the agreement,
it was argued, intended to exclude legal sanctions. The evidence does not show that
this factor was an important element in the minds of all those at the meeting. Thus the
argument was not sufficient to establish that this was the intention of all present.
Judgment for the plaintiff.
