1. Black, an engineer, is injured while visiting the White Company. Black is spattered in the face from a die-casting machines he was observing. What is the basis for Black's law suit? Does White have a defense?

2. What if Black was warned not to cross a yellow line around the machine, but he crossed the line to get a better view?

3. Dave is an avid bungee jumper who goes jumping whenever he can. He has been planning a trip for several weeks to Schnippers Cliff and he buys new gear for the trip. When he gets to the top of the cliff and unpacks his gear, Dave notices that the new bungee cord he has bought is frayed. Dave knows that using a frayed cord is not safe but he decides to risk it anyway. Sure enough, the cord snaps on Daves first jump and he is severely injured. Dave sues the cord manufacturer who determines that Dave has suffered $100,000 in damages. What is the manufacture's defense? If the jury decides that Dave is 50% responsible or more for his own injuries what will he recover in TN?

4. I have a blog on my company Webite and post that my competitor Alice Manufacturing has serious quality issues. Alice Manufacturing orders drop by 1/3 in the next month. If Alice sues NewCo what would be the legal basis of the complaint?
