Imagine you represent a person who claims to have been the
victim of a breach of contract. Determine the information that you would need

to a court to show your client was the victim of a breach of contract, and how
would you overcome the defenses to the alleged breach? Be sure to use legal
terms and concepts from the reading to support your analysis.

As a small-business owner, you are
faced with rising costs, particularly employment costs, insurance, et cetera.
So, you decide to hire some friends and pay them as they work, rather than go
through the expense and procedure of bringing in “actual” employees. Your
friends wear the business uniform, deal with vendors and customers, and tell
friends and family that they work for the business. One friend / employee
orders way too much from a vendor. The vendor has dealt with the person
numerous times; in fact, the person has been ordering from the vendor for
months.

· 
Since the person who ordered was not
an “employee,” but a friend you hired, are you liable to pay for the improper
order?

· 
Discuss the implications of agency
that apply in this situation, and describe at least one (1) way the company may
be able to cancel or return the order in question.

· 
Be sure to support your legal
analysis with concepts and definitions from the reading.
