A construction contractor brought a breach of contract claim in federal court against a homeowner who had hired the contractor t

o build an apartment over an existing garage. The action turned on the scope of the work covered by the contract. The contractor and the homeowner were the only witnesses at the bench trial, and they strongly disagreed about the scope of the work. At the end of the trial, the judge stated findings of fact on the record but never issued a written opinion. Neither party objected to the findings. The judge found in favor of the homeowner, and the contractor appealed. Is the appellate court likely to overturn the findings?

Answer:

No, because the appellate court must give due regard to the trial judge's opportunity to determine witness credibility.

Explanation:

Appellate courts or appeal courts are those that are empowered to review judgements that have been given at trial by lower courts.

Appeal courts exist at the state and federal level and they do not use a jury to review judgements.

In the given instance the construction contractor and home owner did not disagree on the findings of the trial judge and never issued a written opinion.

The appeal court is not likely to overturn the findings because they must give due regard to the trial judge's opportunity to determine witness credibility.

The trial judge should give a written opinion on the matter before the appeal court can delibrate

Which form of alcohol was consumed at epidemic levels (causing major health and social issues) in English cities in the early to
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Gin.

Explanation:

Gin Craze is a term for the sharp rise in alcoholism in England in the first half of the 18th century, when domestic entrepreneurs immediately threw themselves into the production of this brandy from available raw materials, such as grain and juniper, and flooded the country with cheap gin, where hard alcohol was a luxury item until then and people were used to drinking mainly beer.

As consequence, mass drunkenness erupted, especially in the slums of London, which led to an increase in crime and widespread demoralization. In 1743, it was recorded that the average Englishman consumed ten liters of gin a year. A number of scandals led to the British Parliament passing a series of so-called gin laws between 1729 and 1751, which banned the tapping of spirits without an official concession and significantly taxed gin production. Consumption therefore fell sharply, and the definitive end of Gin Craze marked the years 1757–1760, when the use of grain to produce alcohol was banned due to a large crop failure.
