In a short paragraph, answer the following questions with your own words( no copy-paste)

1. Grant got a job with Ace Computers Co. (Ace) as a salesman. He was given a course in sales by Ace, business cards, and several of the company's order forms and brochures, and he was assigned an area in which he would sell computers door-to-door on behalf of Ace. Grant would be paid on a commission basis. At his first house, he was so excited by the interest shown that he forgot the explicit instructions he had receivedonly cash sales permitted. As an agent for Ace, he sold a computer on time to a 70-year-old woman. She was to pay $25 per month for eight years because that was all she could afford. When Brown, Ace's sales manager, heard of the deal, he fired Grant and said Ace would not go through with the contract. However, the old woman liked the computer very much and insisted that Ace provide her with one within the week as required by the contract.

-Would Ace Computers be bound by the contract? Why or why not?

2. Mrs. Kahn arranged a trip to Europe for herself and her two children. Her husband couldn't go. She spent hours with the travel agent, Mr. Tobin, deciding on the vacation package. She asked him, and wrote a note asking again, what documents, vaccinations, etc., would be needed for the trip. Tobin said and wrote that all they would need would be their passports. Tobin forgot to tell her that a new regulation required a note from the father allowing the children to leave Canada, although he had received a memo warning him to alert travellers of the new regulation. When Mrs. Kahn and the children reached Toronto to embark on a plane for London, they were stopped because she did not have the required note from Mr. Kahn. They lost their reservations for both the flight and the tour with no refund.

-Could there be a civil action against Tobin? What about his employer? Why or why not?

3. A seven-year-old boy followed his dog into Mr. Howe's backyard. He fell into a large hole dug by Mr. Howe in preparation for a tree that had been ordered. The boy broke his arm in the fall. At the hospital the boy was treated by a doctor employed there for four years. The doctor did not set the boy's arm because he made a mistake in reading the x-ray. Because the arm was not treated correctly, it healed improperly. When the boy kept complaining, his mother took him to their family doctor who discovered the error. The boy had to have his arm rebroken so that it could be set properly.

-Which party (parties) would owe a duty of care to the boy? Why?
