  1. Bob goes into Sam’s bookshop and sees a book which he wants to buy on display. He takes the book to the counter to pay for it, but Sam tells him that the copy of the book is his only copy and that he has already sold it to Carl, but forgot to remove it from the display. Is Sam entitled to refuse to sell Bob the book? Taking this scenario in to  consideration explain the importance of the essential elements required for the formation of a valid contract. Discuss the impact of different types of contract and analyse terms in contracts with reference to their meaning and effect.
  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.” Are the council entitled to rely on the clause? Taking this scenario in to consideration, apply the elements of contract in given business scenarios, apply the law terms in different contracts and evaluate the effect of different terms in given contracts.
  4. Adam advertises a reward of 1000 pound for the first person to paddle across the English channel in a bath from Dover to Calais. Brian sees the advertisement in the newspaper, purchases a bath, and sets out from Dover. On the same day, whilst Brian is in mid-channel, Adam places another advertisement in the same newspaper announcing that the reward is duly arrives in Calais. Brian then claims the reward. Adam refuses to pay. Is Brian entitled to claim the reward? Taking this scenario in to consideration, contrast liability in tort with contractual liability, explain the nature of liability in negligence and explain how a business can be vicariously liable.
