1-You run a large and lucrative bar and restaurant, and you have just hired a new bouncer. You have explained to him that it is always best to be friendly and to calm angry patrons. Describe to him how far he can go to protect himself if attacked, and why he must learn to control himself when provoked. Explain also how his behaviour, if he assaults a patron, could affect you.

2-After winning a lottery, Janice consulted Len, a stockbroker and accountant, about how to invest the huge sum she had won. In their discussion she mentioned that her brother, Steve, would probably ask her for the information and advice she received from Len. "Even though he won as much as I did," she said, "he's too cheap to pay for the help we both know we need, so I better make some notes." Among other things, Len advised Janice to buy shares in a company just before it bought heavily into retail stores in the United States and became overextended, which resulted in a significant drop in the price of its shares. Janice didn't act on that piece of advice, but Steve did.

A) Discuss whether Steve can bring a suit against Len.

B) If he can, is he likely to succeed?

3-The Smalltown Sawmill entered into a contract with the Little Lumber Co. to supply the sawmill with logs. The sawmill produced a great deal of softwood lumber, particularly pine, for furniture making. The mill especially liked the logs supplied by Little Lumber Co. because they were from older stands of trees, which made the wood a higher quality. Little's logs were also somewhat larger, which made for less waste when cutting the larger pieces of wood required for furniture making. There was a written agreement between the parties that stipulated that the parties "for themselves, their executors and administrators and successors respectively" each covenanted to abide by and perform the terms of the agreement. The relationship continued over several years until the Little Lumber Co. assigned its rights under the agreement to another lumber company, Logs Ltd., which carried on the supply. The sawmill accepted shipments from Logs Ltd. for nearly a year when it decided not to accept any further shipments on the grounds that the contract it had with the Little Lumber Co. was not assignable.

The Little Lumber company decided to take legal action to enforce the agreement on the sawmill. Explain the nature of the action taken and the legal principles the lumber company would rely on. What arguments would the sawmill raise in its defence? Render a decision
