Molly Weasley bought a Great Lakes spa from Mundungus, a dealer who was selling spas at the state fair.

Law
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]2 years ago
4 0

1) The theory of product liability under which Weasley could have sued Mundungus to recover for Ginny's injuries is strict product liability.

However, the facts do not support such a claim because the negligence of Weasley caused Ginny's injuries. How could a child of six years be left alone in a spa?

<h3>What are the theories of product liability?</h3>

The theories of product liability, which involve injury or damage caused by a defective product, include negligence, breach of contract/warranty, and strict liability.

For strict liability to be imposed on Great Lakes, Weasley must prove that the tort occurred based on Mundungus' irresponsibility.  The question is, was Mundungus responsible for caring for Ginny or her mother?

2) The Privity of contract would not be required in a product liability case against Great Lakes. Since the spa is a product of Great Lakes while Mundungus sold it to Weasley, there is no basis for Great Lakes to deny privity of contract.

<h3>What is the privity of contract?</h3>

Using privity of contract as a basis of defense means that only parties to a contract have right to sue and be sued so that they can enforce the rights and obligations arising from the contract.

3) The six requirements that Weasley must meet for action in strict product liability against Great Lakes are proving that:

  1. The spa caused Ginny to be injured and not Weasley's negligence.
  2. The spa that injured Ginny was defective.
  3. The defect of the spa caused Ginny's injury.
  4. The defect of the spa made it dangerous for Ginny.
  5. The negligence arose from Great Lakes.
  6. Great Lakes breached the contract warranty.

4) The defenses to product liability that Mundungus or Great Lakes can assert are as follows:

  1. Weasley lacks the locus standi.
  2. No duty of care was owed to Ginny by Mundungus or Great Lakes.
  3. Weasley misused the spa through her negligence.
  4. Weasley must know the riskiness of abandoning Ginny in the spa.

Thus, none of the theories of product liability supports Weasley's case.

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Both houses must accept the bill

Explanation:

Before a bill can be passed on to the president to either veto or pass, it must first be approved by both the House and the Senate. The houses generally hash out their differences, rewrite the bill, and provide the final draft to the president who can then either veto the bill or pass it. There are also other ways in which a bill can be passed if the president vetoes it. For example, the chamber that originated the legislation can attempt to override the veto by a vote of two-thirds of those present.

Will the interaction of the current through the loop with the magnetic field cause the loop to rotate?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Yes, it will.

Explanation:

Using Flemings right hand rule, where the forefinger points to the direction of the magnetic field, the middle finger points in the direction of the current and the thumb gives the direction of force or motion acting on the conductor. One can observe from the attached image  that the force on both sides of the ring pull the ring out, which increases the angle. Therefore,  the net torque acting on the loop is positive and tends to rotate the loop in the direction of increasing angle θ (counterclockwise).
