Yoely Brach Case Summary

Improved Essays
Honorable Judge Schmidt:
We are confused and baffled by Isaac Oberlander’s demands and ultimatums. Firstly, let us set the record straight: Yoely Brach (“Yoely”) is the defendant and should not dictate the terms of any arbitration proceedings. The fact remains that Mr. Jacob Guttman, the owner of Court Street Office Supplies, Inc. (“Company”), employed Yoely – right out of Kollel with no formal or general education – out of kindheartedness and compassion to his son-in-law. As Yoely mistook his father-in-law’s unselfishness for weakness, he engaged in erratic behavior, breached his fiduciary duties to the Company, and embezzled the Company by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Furthermore, when the Company sought to implement internal controls and hire a controller – as would any company of this size, Yoely threatened to burn the house down.
Finally, after the situation became unbearable and once Yoely rerouted close to $100,000 of merchandise to Yoely’s National Craft, Inc. – a

We do not believe, at this time, that Yoely or his representatives have the right to any computer records, despite him already retaining access to a user account with access to the records. If Yoely believes that he has a monetary claim against the Company, then let him provide documentation to substantiate any such claims, and only then should we discuss what limited access is necessary.
2) There was never any discussion amongst any partners to grant Yoely any interest in the company. There was talk with Yoely about 7% commission of the Amazon net profit – to which he never agreed to and not agreement was finalized. Accordingly, so long that Yoely doesn’t provide us with any reason to believe that he has rights to the Company’s proprietary information, we do not feel obliged to grant him access to the partners’ emails regarding the business

    Bordenkecher (formerly Paula Bowie) (“Ms. Bordenkecher”) argues “I am not liable, because I said so.” Before even filing an answer to the complaint, Ms. Bordenkecher files a motion for summary judgment based only on her self-serving statement that she was not involved in the conduct alleged in the complaint and an affidavit from the individual that has otherwise ignored the jurisdiction of this court for over half a decade.

    The Capistrano Unified School District took the parents of Jeremy Wartenberg, Wayne and Charlene Wartenberg to court in their refusal to pay for Jeremy’s private school tuition, fees spent at the private school, and attorney fees. The school district expresses that Jeremy’s behavior comes from his own willfulness to misbehave not his disability. The school psychologist, although acknowledging that Jeremy had a learning disability of attention deficit disorder (ADD), which allowed for an IEP and services, felt that it was not sever enough to be a contributing factor to his behavior. He felt that Jeremy’s primary behavior was largely related to his failure to work, cooperate, and school truancies rather than his primarily disability of ADD. He acknowledged that Jeremy’s behavior could be a contributing factor of his Conduct Disorder, which is not covered under a learning…

    The current event that I choose was the case of Gavin Grimm v. Gloucester County School Board. Grimm is a transgender student from Virginia that was denied the right to use the bathroom that corresponds with his gender identity. Grimm won against the school board in the federal appeals court, but the court ruled the school had to let Grimm used a unisex bathroom that was created for him. Although Gavin won the case, Gavin feels as though it still excludes him from using the bathroom of the gender identity he identifies with. Gavin and his lawyers decided to take the case to the supreme court and let the court decide on which interpretation of Title IX is correct.…

    628. I believe equal treatment does have a bearing on the outcome of the case, however management should not require a different standard than the nexus principle when the Postal Service, seeks to regulate the off-duty conduct of its employees. Management must also establish just cause. It is unknown in the other arbitrator decisions, if management established just cause or if the Postal Service established a nexus between the grievant’s conduct and the employment relationship. Further, it is also unknown the grievants positions on the other arbitrator decisions and whether their off duty conduct in some way harmed their current employment…

    Despite the passing and implementation of specific laws in the United States, there are organizations and individuals who fail to ensure compliance. One such law was officially approved in 1967; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA). This law prohibits age discrimination by explicitly directing employers, labor organizations, and employment agencies to promote employment of older persons based on their ability rather than age (The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 2015). Additionally, printed material from organizations or individuals, practices in investigations, and practices in procedures or litigation will also be required to adhere to the ADEA requirements. The ADEA requires the minimum age to be included…
