Law & Ethics - January 2007

I have my business law exam tommorow, we have been given one question in advance, but Im a bit confused about it.

It is that two people have made an agreement where one of them (a singer) performs two comback concerts.
The first concert takes place, but the backing group provided (who in the agreement were stated as 'skilled') were not extremely good according to the singer.
The singer then stated that he would not perform his second concert if he did not get the proffessional backing group, the company did not want to spend extra money on this so canceled the contract saying the singer was in breach.

What Im confused about is, is the singer in breach of contract just by saying he wont perform, or does he actually not have to perform the concert to be in breach of it?

I thought he would not be in breach of contract which meant that the company cannot cancel the contract under rescission?

Thanks for any help here!

Last weekend I had some drinks with some friends, and came home a little tipsy, but not trashed. I locked my keys in the house, and had to climb through the window. I knocked over the Christmas tree, and soon after, the landlord who lives next door in the same building, (It’s a duplex) calls, and says I’m getting a restraining order on you Tuesday. So I go to her door, and knock on the door to ask her why, and she’s on the phone with the cops saying “he’s coming in”, and slams the door. Needless to say the cops come, and talk to me, and tell me that she’s got a tape recorder, and if she calls again, I’m getting charged with harassment. I tell them my story, and they say I know she’s a bit crazy, but you heard what I said. So, I slammed the door shut. Seconds later the landlord calls and says “Your girlfriend left you didn’t she”, “She’s not coming home”, the cops were still out front talking, so I brought the phone out with her still talking and handed it to the cop, and said listen she’s harassing me. The cop took the phone hung up, and arrested me for Public Intoxication. I plan on taking this to trial. Did I do anything wrong to deserve that? And what do I need to bring to court to win this case.

If a five year-old child has been molested by a fourteen year-old, what could happen to the fourteen year-old? Shouldn't the fourteen year-old be tried as an adult? Does Missisippi even take juvenile sex offending seriously?

Yahoo has it up front on its video collection today, but this is not the only day to listen. And not just the fragment about "I have a dream," but the whole speech, and the context of the speech.

It was an enormous, entirely peaceful, rally in Washington, DC. And much of the progress you can see, the legal issues he mentioned, was due to the energy generated by that rally, and that speech. Listen to it again. It's not just for blacks, it's for everyone; in fact, Dr. King makes that point.

This is a true story:
I needed a skull to perform this ritual to Azagthoth, so I figured it would be ok if the fresh skull I used was my grandmother's. So I went to the cemetery during their open hours, and started digging. The police got there about the same time I made it to the casket. They were talking about pressing charges, but I ******* paid for her to be ******* buried there. Can my lawyer help me out? Seriously, folks.

I have been quoted £2.5k for a Press Release, but am loath to shell out that which I can ill afford without some guarantee of the work being published.

I have spent over 5 years attempting to interest the press in a gross miscarriage of justice which has left me devoid of the;

Right to Employment

Human Rights Act

Geneva 01/12/1948

Article 6 & 10

as also;

EEC

Brussels 05/10/1`968

Paragraph 1612.

So far it has cost me my entire family, as also any hope of pension 01/2015. My health as also that of my family has also suffered.

Legal aid is "conveniently" unavailable for a so-called "civil-case"
& pro-bono is equally impossible for "blue-collar" technicians.

My original solicitor, Clarke-Brookes, West Brom, financed by the T&GWU did not bother to attend court. Meantime the union refuse to replace him, & both have simply "dumped" me.

Despite receiving income support / incapacity ben. since 10/09/01, I am denied rent / ct benifit by sandwell mbc.

If meth labs are such a huge problem, how many labs have you seen on the local news getting busted? How many people have you read about being charged with meth possession/manufacture?

Isn't it possible that the media is once again sensationalizing the news - in this case, the fact that the government wants more money to fight the War on Drugs? Likewise, is it possible that the government embellishes facts to scare you into spending more on this War on Drugs?

I worked as a criminal attorney in rural West Virginia (where everyone is supposedly making the stuff) for almost three years, and I did not see ONE charge of meth possession/distribution/manufacture. I worked on several hundred cases, but out of about 10,000 cases that people were charged with, not one of them was meth manufacture or even simple possession!

So, I ask you this: without regurgitating what the media and government want you to believe, do YOU believe there a meth pandemic?

The main argument for abortion is this: The fetus inside a woman's womb is not a person, therefore, it is OK to kill it. However, do you remember what the argument for slavery was? "Blacks are not people, so they can be our slaves". The Nazi's? "Jews are not really people, so it is OK to kill them"

People say that "this is different, the fetuses REALLY aren't people". Well, don't you think that is what Hitler would say? I AM RIGHT, everyone else is wrong?

Hitler thought what he did was right. Slave owners thought slavery was right. However, history proved them both wrong. Will history prove us wrong? Will we soon regret killing millions of members of our race? Except, instead of killing members of other races, we are killing our own children.

It seems pretty obvious that this will backfire. We are already running low on social security, when we could have an extra million or two people paying into it. What do you think? Will this be the next Holocaust?

Leaving people in chronic pain unless they sign a contract permiting random drug testing as a provision of healthcare seems not only wierd, but an illegal violation of 4th Amendment rights?

Under international law, detaining prisoners without charge at Guantanamo Bay is criminal. It is sickening that a country whose citizens bleat on about Freedom and liberty should allow this to happen. What would you do if your government held you for several years in a detention centre for several years without bringing charges against you? Would you still believe that your government was commited to Freedom?

ARE SOME OF US AMERICANS ERASING IRAQ'S CULTURE. I AGREE SADDAM WAS EVIL BUT WHY ARE WE PUTTING COLA-COCA BANNERS AND CONVERTING THEM TO CHRISTIANITY? Is that what whites did to natives, asians and blacks? IT DIDN'T HAVE POSITIVE OUTCOMES!
IS THIS A FORM OF IMPERIALISM?
Europeans imperializes Native Americans-they lost their identity
Europeans imperializes Africa-blacks lost their identity and culture

I wish to know if Statutory Orders have as much strength in enforcement like Acts of Parliament. Do Statutory Orders have Royal Assent given by the Queen?

In addition, if a Statutory Order has been raised for Northern Ireland, can it be applied & used in the remainder of the UK?

I note in Northern Ireland that the Power Sharing Executive/Council of Ministers does not sit & please take into consideration Gordon Brown (Chancellor) statement about "Britishness", which took place at the weekend when considering a reply to the query Re Northern Ireland V Rest of UK.

What are Statutory Orders in comparison to ACTS of Parliament?

My friend and his baby's mama broke up and she owes him $2800.00 which she was slowly paying him off but now that they are broken up she said she is not going to pay anymore of it cause she now wants child support from him. how much is child support? I believe its based on a percentage of what his income is and since he barely gets by each month he would be screwed. Any Idea's on how much child support is what he can do besides quit his job and leave on the streets just so she does not get his money?
