Project 1

 

 

 

Read the following case scenario.

 

 

 

Case Scenario: Foods, Inc., a large retail super market store that sells a variety of

 

 

 

products, has had an eventful week.

 

 

 

Part I:

 

 

 

There have been heavy rains in the area all week. On Wednesday, a ceiling tile that had

 

 

 

become wet from a leaking roof in Foods due to the heavy rain storms earlier in the

 

 

 

week fell and hit some bags of peanuts causing the nuts to spill across the store aisle.

 

 

 

Edie, a customer, entered the aisle, slipped on the peanuts and broke her leg and arm.

 

 

 

The manager of Foods was unaware of the leaking roof and the wet ceiling tile and

 

 

 

unaware that the peanuts had spilled onto the store floor.

 

 

 

Part II.

 

 

 

On Friday, a small group of political protestors carrying signs and quietly chanting were

 

 

 

marching back and forth the full length of the public sidewalk in front of Foods. Foods

 

 

 

encompasses the entire block by the public sidewalk with entry and exit doors located

 

 

 

directly in the center of the store building, and with privately owned parking in the

 

 

 

back of the store. Sometimes the protestors were at either of the two ends of the

 

 

 

sidewalk in front of Foods, and thus, not directly in front of the entry/exit door doors

 

 

 

to Foods. The protestors did not walk on or enter the private parking lot owned by

 

 

 

Foods; the protestors did not stop and congregate in front of the store or its

 

 

 

entry/exit doors at any time. The management of Foods believed that the protestors

 

 

 

were impeding the ingress and egress of customers into Foods end therefore

 

 

 

interfering with business. Foods called the police to have the protestors removed.

 

 

 

The police did not arrest the protestors but did require them to stop marching and

 

 

 

move away from Foods.

 

 

 

Assignment

 

 

 

Part I (2 Pages, double spaced):

 

 

 

A. How likely is Edie to win a negligence case against Foods for her injuries

 

 

 

resulting from slipping on the peanuts? Why?

 

 

 

B. Consider whether any, legal defense(s) could be raised by Foods. Are any legal

 

 

 

defenses likely to be successful in negating liability for Foods? Why or why not?

 

 

 

(Tip: Stick only to the facts in the case, do not assume any facts not given.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part II  (2 Pages, double spaced):

 

 

 

A. The protestors want to sue the City for violation of their constitutional rights.

 

 

 

Specifically, what legal claim could the protestors sue for and why?

 

 

 

B. Could the protestors be convicted of trespassing against Foods? Why or why

 

 

 

not?
