Your firm has been wanting to hire another engineer for some time, and your supervisor has just made an offer to someone from ou

t of state. The hiree is in the process of selling his house, and moving his family to your city. But you are well aware that the economic downturn has sharply curtailed business, and you don’t see how the current level of business can support another engineer. In fact, you are all a little concerned about layoffs. You know that your supervisor also knows all of this, but he has told you that he won’t withdraw the offer until he absolutely has to. By that time, the hiree may well have sold his home and moved his family, but have no new job with your firm. If the offer is withdrawn under these circumstances, and the hiree sues, which causes of action, if any, might be successful?

Answer:

The answer is - Promissory estoppel and Fraud

Explanation:

The cause of action that might be useful in the scenario is the promissory estoppel and fraud. The Promissory Estoppel is a judicial doctrine in contract law in which the court prevents or "estop" a person from going back on their word and therefore allows the affected person recover on the promise or contract which he relied on and due to which he suffered a loss.

Fraud is an act of deceiving others by intentionally using false or misleading information for one's gain and therefore depriving the other person of money or property.

The hiree can therefore sue the firm or supervisor with the use of promissory estoppel and fraud as a cause of action.

Akimi4 [234]

b. southern economy almost completely shut down.

The Civil War impacted the Southern economy but not the rest of the country. With the loss of labor and destruction of plantations and farms, the South's economy stood still.

During Reconstruction, rebuilding of the South's economy began. Some farms and plantations were able to rebuild but had to reorganize if they had lost labor. The former slaves often became tenant farmers or sharecroppers with no where else to go and the skills needed to work on plantations. Other areas of the South began to industrialize in a program called the "New South".
