Business law & ethics | Business & Finance homework help

 

This week, we are discussing Chapter 9 – Business Torts. In the lecture slides I discuss a very famous case not mentioned in the book – Pennzoil Co. v. Texaco, Inc., 481 U.S. 1 (U.S. 1987).

An interesting article can be found about it here: https://www.nytimes.com/1987/12/19/business/pennzoil-texaco-fight-raised-key-questions.html(Links to an external site.)

 or here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1985/11/20/jury-awards-1053-billion-to-pennzoil-in-texaco-case/7d3d352f-816a-416c-95a9-19cc116db240/ (Links to an external site.)

Your discussion board assignment this week is to find a unique (meaning not found in the book, or by another student) case or news article that touches on a business-related tort lawsuit.

After you find the case, then please:

1 -summarize it for the discussion board giving the details of the case and its outcome, if known;

2 – identify the tort, and discuss its elements (you may have to do some additional research), at issue in your case/article; and

3 – discuss if you think the plaintiff or defendant should prevail based on your reading and what you have learned in the course.

Again, please do not use the same case/article as another student.
