Scenario:  You are working as a legal assistant for one of the senior partners in a local firm of solicitors.  They have asked you to consider the following case studies and to prepare a report for each one.  Your reports will require you to consider each set of circumstances and to express your recommendations, based on your knowledge of UK law.

Case study 1

Jess advertised a second hand van for sale on a car trade website for £2650.00. Mr. Powell views the advertisement and call Jess to express his wish to buy the van. But due to the fact that he lives 600miles away he offered to come and buy the van after 3 days. Jess says that she would sell the van if any other customer wishes to buy the vehicle before Mr. Powell arrived. For this Mr. Powell agreed to pay £450 pounds in advance if Jess promises she would not sell for the next 3 days. Jess agrees to this.

Case study 2

Barry goes into a park which is managed by his local council. He sees a notice which states that chairs are for hire for 50p per hour. Barry pays the 50p and is given a ticket and a chair. Later, the chair collapses under him, damaging his clothes. When Barry complains, the attendant points to a clause on the ticket which states, “No liability is accepted for any damage or injury caused by the failure of any hired equipment.”
Task 1:  LO1 (LO1.1, LO1.2, LO1.3), M1

Considering the Case study 1 mentioned above, define the legal meaning of the term ‘contract’ and explain the important elements of a valid contract. Identify and discuss the terms of offer and whether there has been acceptance of the offer. Identify the intention to create legal relations and the consideration of moving between the parties. Discuss the impact of different types of contract and analyse terms in contracts with reference to their meaning and effect, and explain the factors that would impair the formation of a contract.
To achieve M1, the learner will be able to carry out wide research using different reliable sources to identify and apply strategies to explain, analyse and make effective judgements about elements of contract.
Task 2:  LO2 (LO 2.1, LO 2.2, LO2.3), D1

Are the council entitled to rely on the clause? Taking the scenario in Case study 2 into consideration, apply the elements of contract in given business scenarios.  Apply the law on terms in different contracts and evaluate the effect of different terms in given contracts.

To achieve D1, the learner needs to critically evaluate key points and draw conclusions while making a synthesis of ideas and justifying them effectively. The learner is also required to propose realistic improvements of the positive features of the terms and suggest improvements before discussing how well the terms meet the needs of the both parties.

One night, Mark decides to check in at the Poshplace Hotel, which is owned by Ben. Later that night, Mark is in his room when a masked man enters and threatens to harm him unless he hands over his valuable antique jewellery. Mark hands it over. The thief later turns out to be Neil, the hotel gardener, who had stolen a master key to the hotel room.

Meantime, downstairs in the kitchen, Roger, the dishwasher, is complaining about the skin rash he has developed as a result of long periods of washing up. Although rubber gloves are available, most employees do not use them. Colin, the head chef, is getting fed up with Roger and in his anger, knocks Roger unconscious with a frying pan.

Meanwhile, to cheer himself up, Mark later decides to go to the Hotel pool for a swim. A sign on the pool door reads: ‘Pool closed between 7.00pm and 7.00 am. No entry to visitors during these hours; ‘Dangerous when unattended’. Mark reads but ignores the sign and enters. He cannot find the light so just jumps in. In fact, the pool has been emptied and Mark is badly injured and tears his expensive designer swimming trunks
