Evidence collected in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECP
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Exclusionary Rule.

Explanation:

The exclusionary rule is a legal rule of the constitution that prevents any illegal search and seizure of 'evidence' that is collected in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U. S. Constitution. It also prevents the presentation of such 'evidence' in a court of law.

This rule also states that any evidence collected in violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) may not be admissible in a court of law as legal evidence as it is 'seized' in violation of the person's constitutional rights. The Fourth Amendment of the U. S. Constitution prevents the government from doing any search or seizure of 'evidence' of a person's home without due reasonable reason. Thus, it prevents a person's from being forcefully searched. So, when such searches are done and evidence produced before the court, they are not admissible under the exclusionary rule.

makkiz [27]

Answer: No contract exists due to mutual mistake of fact as to the existence or identity of the subject matter of the contract.

Explanation:

Breach of contract is legal cause of action and a type of civil wrong, whereby a binding agreement or bargained-for exchange was not honored by one or more of the parties to the agreement in the contract by non-performance or an interference with the other party's performance.

In this scenario, the buyer cannot sue for breach of contract when the goods failed to arrive on time because no contract exists due to the mutual mistake of fact as to the existence or the identity of the subject matter of the contract. There was a mistake regarding the ship "Peerless". A party had in mind the one coming by October while the other party had the one coming in December in mind. Due to this error, no contract existed.
