2. The foreeseeable legal benefits of the case are twofold, that the venue and all parties in charge of it are not liable for this event as a result of the fact that there was no way to prevent it even if there had been sufficient security, therefore there is only limited if any liability for the city and the event promoter. Yet, the promoter and the city did receive strong warnings about how such a case might play out in the future if such an event occurred again and the acts that took place were proven to be criminal and if the responsible parties did not provide adequate security to prevent the criminal acts. This will likely enhance the definitive nature of venue lease contracts and force the parks and rec department to make much more clear the responsibilities of the event promoter to...
The limitations of the case are also evident, as parks and rec may in the future be more reluctant to rent/offer use of space to this and other promoters for events that are known to be widely attended and possibly attract large crowds and/or criminal activity. This could severely limit the revenue base of the department and the venues they maintain and offer for use to the public.
4. The courts decision was fair and appropriate as it offered strong warnings about future event security to the department as well as the promoter, but did not cause undue burden on the taxpayers to foot the liability bill for an event that was not proven to be a preventable intentional criminal act.
Liability of Smallness: What it Means and What Can Be Done in Response The historical record contains few examples of the smaller underdog winning out over larger opponents, with examples such as David and Goliath being the exceptions rather than the rule. This paucity of examples is due in large part to the so-called liability of smallness which suggests smaller firms are more vulnerable to competition, a constraint that is especially
Because the $750.00 was given as a donation to the non-profit organization, it will be viewed as an asset. Since the preparation of the tax return was given in exchange for the donation, it is considered a gift and thus not an asset. Next, one must inquire as to whether the firm of Good and Good's liability should be measured at out of pocket cost, at full costs, or at
An appellate court case that found the employer liable for hostile environment sexual harassment is Kunin v. Sears Roebuck & Co. Under this claim, Karen Kunin was sexually harassed by a male employee based upon the abusive and derogatory language that was used. Kunin did not report any abuse to her employer other than to asking if cursing was harassment. The U.S. Court of Appeals found that an employer must
Laying of benefits that accrue to the student before the court further supports the case. In conclusion, solving issues that dent school's safety is successful if it involves the students, school administration, parents and the community at large. This allows for identification of the root causes of the problem that lead to violent behavior and drug abuse. The school should put in place forums that allow students to raise safety
For example, drunk and disorderly behavior might be a minor infraction in the real world, but a student who continually disrupts the community can be asked to leave it, given the risk he or she poses to other students. But colleges must guard against assuming responsibility for student's hurt feelings -- for example, it is conceivable that having overly stringent hate speech standards that could limit the ability of
It is also a cloudy issue as to whether a company can terminate employment if an individual commits and is convicted of a crime while they are in the employment of the company. If such a crime were a low level crime, that could be thought of as a "gateway" crime such as possession of pornography, soliciting prostitution or prowling, but not a crime sufficient to be made public
