Written Assignment #3: Kyle took your advice and decided not to spend the money to fight for his claim to KFC.com as the domain name
Written Assignment #3: Kyle took your advice and decided not to spend the money to fight for his claim to "KFC.com" as the domain name for his new product line, Kyle's Fire-aged Creations. Kyle, however, does want to continue the move of his business, Alabama Sunshine, to the next level of operations. His marketing efforts in Nauvoo and surrounding areas in Alabama and into Mississippi and Tennessee have proven to be very successful. He now wants to expand to other choice locations in areas that he likes to visit, namely the beach and resort areas along the Gulf Coast of Alabama around the Bayou La Batre area of Alabama. Kyle has found a possible location to construct a new store on nearby Dauphin Island, AL. The property is owned by Forrest. Since Kyle's business is successful and people throughout Alabama and abutting States know of Kyle and of Alabama Sunshine, Kyle hires Lt. Dan to contact Forrest, negotiate a price, and, if possible, buy Forrest's property for Kyle. Concerned that, if Forrest knows that he (Kyle) wants the location, the price will increase, Kyle instructs Lt. Dan to not tell Forrest that he is working for Kyle. During negotiations with Forrest, Lt. Dan realizes that Forrest's property is a good deal, an exceptionally good deal, and buys the property for herself, not Kyle as agreed. Kyle is angry, very angry, and wants to know what he can do. Respecting your knowledge of business law, Kyle comes to you. What are the issues that you will need to address and what is the controlling law for each issue? During the conversation, Kyle mentions that Alabama Sunshine is operated as an informal partnership between himself and his 2nd cousin, Josh, who has pretty much retired from management of the business. He asks you about the advantages and disadvantages of a partnership and the other small business organizations and whether he should change the business to some other business structure. If so, which one would be the most advantageous? In passing he notes that the temporary worker, Wilma, he refused to hire back during the peak season (remember WA1?) has now filed an employment discrimination (gender and national origin) charge against him personally and against Alabama Sunshine and Kyle wonders what the procedure is for such charges and what he must do
