Mr. Buy Right who owns a chain of successful supermarkets in Kingston recently employed Novice as a branch manager for one of his supermarkets in the corporate area. At his briefing session Novice was told to get the necessary approval for purchases exceeding $50,000.00 from the same supplier at any given time. Novice was given a vehicle for his personal and official use by Mr. Buy Right because of the late opening hours of the Supermarket. A couple of months after he started the job, Novice purchased a container load of corned beef from an overseas supplier at $500,000.00. Mr. Buy Right was not on the island when the Contract was signed with the overseas supplier so Novice was unable to inform him of the good deal. The container arrived and Novice sold the corned beef to customers who considered the price very reasonable. They have now discovered that the consignment was suspected to be contaminated and that was why it was sold very cheap. Some customers became seriously ill and had to be hospitalised
