A state owned a large natural gas field and took bids for its exploitation. The highest bid came from an interstate pipeline com

pany that distributed natural gas to providers throughout the country. A local gas company submitted the next highest bid, which included the commitment that it would pass along to local customers any savings if it was awarded the contract. The state awarded the contract to the local company. The interstate company sued to overturn this decision.
Should the interstate company prevail?

Answer: b. No, because the state acted as a market participant

Explanation:

The state in this instance was a market participant because they were acting as buyers who were looking for companies that could supply the service of exploiting their gas fields.

As a result, they have total discretion to pick whichever supplier they choose, regardless of the benefits or lack thereof, much like a normal buyer would do. The interstate company would therefore lose the case.

What are some possible negative issues with the M'Naghter Rule? Select all that apply.
koban [17]

Answer:

A. Fails to distinguish between violent defendants and one that no longer pose a danger to society.

C. Fails to differentiate between mental illness that are temporary or lifelong conditions.

Explanation:

M'Naghten Rule is an insanity defense used by defendant's attorney to plead defendant not guilty of crime due to mental conditions suffered during the time crime committed.

M'Naghten Rule states that a defendant will be pleaded not guilty only under conditions when it will be proved that the mental condition of defendant was not right at the time when crime was committed and that he/she was not able to discern his/her actions as right or wrong.

The criticism received to the M'Naghten rule is that it fails to distinguish between defendants who pose threat to the society and those who do not pose threat any longer. Another criticism is that it fails to distinguish between mental illness that are temporary or conditions which are lifelong.

Therefore, option A and C are correct.
