A social-networking company, Connexion, was interested in acquiring a small but popular online photo-sharing service, A Pix a Day (Pix). Pix provided Connexion with a report of the state of its financial condition using generally accepted accounting principles. Connexion performed its own due diligence, examining Pix’s financial condition. Connexion’s investigation revealed that Pix’s financial condition was not as healthy as Pix represented in its report. When Connexion confronted Pix with this information, Pix insisted that its report was accurate, its financial condition was healthy, and it would remain healthy all the way to closing of the acquisition. Relying on Pix’s insistence, Connexion acquired Pix for a price appropriate to Pix’s self-reported healthy state of financial condition and profitability. After the acquisition, Connexion’s misgivings proved to be right: Pix was not worth the price for which it had been bought. Connexion sued Pix for breach of warranty. The court is likely to rule for

Justin аnd Jessicа purchаsed a new mоbile hоme frоm We Sell Mobile Homes. Maximus manufactured the mobile home with a ventilating system that had both a heating unit and an air conditioner. Maximus installed a furnace manufactured by a heating company and an air conditioning unit manufactured by a cooling company. Each was controlled by an independent thermostat installed by Maximus. Because of the manner in which Maximus designed the ventilating system, the first time that Justin and Jessica operated the ventilating system, cold air was vented into their bedroom to keep the temperature at 68° F (20° C). The cold air then activated the heater thermostat, and hot air was pumped into the bedroom of the six-month-old child of the parents. The temperature in the child’s room reached more than 170° F (77° C) before Jessica became aware of the condition and shut the system off manually. As a result, the child suffered permanent physical injury. Claims have been asserted by the child, through a duly appointed guardian, against Maximus, We Sell Mobile Homes, the heating company, and the cooling company.If the child’s claims against Maximus, the heating company, and the cooling company are based on strict liability in tort, the child will probably recover against:
Trаce wаs gоlfing аt The Highmark, a private cоuntry club. Edward was walking his dоg, a German shepherd, on a public street adjacent to The Highmark’s seventh hole, together with his wife, Grace. When Trace teed off on the seventh hole, he hit the ball in the general direction of the green, but with a sharp hook that caused the ball to curve toward the public street. Trace’s golf ball struck Edward in the head, and Edward lost consciousness. There were no barriers preventing golf balls from entering the public street. The Highmark country club was aware that golf balls sometimes left the premises and landed on the public street. They had paid out a few claims for broken windshields in the past, but never for a personal injury. The cost of installing fabric barriers to prevent golf balls from entering the public street was approximately $10,000 for the initial installation, and $1000 per year in annual maintenance. Most of the golf courses in the region had installed the fabric barriers near public roads abutting their golf courses. Trace rushed over to Edward to assist, and called 911. When the firefighters and EMTs arrived, the flashing lights and noise agitated a dog, a yellow lab, inside a neighboring home owned by Vincent. Vincent didn’t own the dog; the dog belonged to his college-aged son, who was away at school, and Vincent was begrudgingly taking care of the dog for the semester. Frustrated at the dog’s continuous barking, Vincent opened the door to let the dog outside into the yard. The dog rushed into the street where EMTs and firefighters were working to get Edward, still unconscious, onto a stretcher and into the ambulance. The yellow lab started a fight with Grace’s dog, the German Shepherd. Grace pulled her own leashed dog away from the dogfight, but in the chaos the yellow lab dog bit Grace severely and knocked her over backwards onto the pavement. She struck her head. An EMT, Brian, tried to separate the two dogs, and was also bitten by the yellow lab. Vincent came running outside after the yellow lab, and assured the EMT that the dog had never bitten anyone before and was usually a nice dog. Brian punched Vincent in the face. Discuss.
