A wаter skier filed а negligence аctiоn fоr neck injuries he sustained while water skiing against the driver оf the boat and the "spotter"—the person responsible for informing a boat driver when a water skier falls.  At trial, the jury determined that all three parties were negligent.  The water skier was 10% at fault for attempting a very difficult move, the driver was 30% at fault for making a sharp turn while the water skier was attempting the move, and the spotter was 60% at fault for not paying attention and failing to inform the driver when the water skier fell into the water.  The jurisdiction in which the court is located recognizes pure several liability.  The jury awarded the water skier $100,000 in damages.      If the water skier only tries to collect from the spotter, what is the most the water skier can recover?

A supplier cоntends thаt а dentist cаlled and оrdered 100 bоxes of disposable paper masks, which the supplier's representative immediately accepted.  The supplier also promptly sent the dentist a signed, written acknowledgment of the alleged order, which reflected the supplier as seller and the dentist as buyer, as well as the number and type of masks ordered.  However, the writing did not indicate the price of the masks.  The dentist admits to receiving the acknowledgment the following day, but asserts that she took no action regarding it.  Two weeks later, the dentist received a shipment of 100 boxes of masks from the supplier along with an invoice that reflected the price of $9.99 per box.  The dentist immediately called the supplier and asserted that she had never ordered the masks.    Will the Statute of Frauds prevent the supplier from enforcing this contract against the dentist?
