Bhasin v Hrynew, 2014 SCC 71 1
Macera v Abcon Media Canada Inc., [2017] OJ No 3740 1

Duty of Good Faith
Acting in good faith in Canadian contract law means to act honestly without malice, however at times, it can come off as unclear in defined terms. In contract law, it refers to each party in the contract who will perform their end of the deal reasonably, with integrity and not unpredictably or randomly. There are two important steps in good faith performances. The first step is acknowledging that good faith comes from an underlying number of various rules that stem from traditional common law, and that demonstrates the importance and duties of good faith in a contract. The second step is recognizing …show more content…
He was told by Mr. Macera that he had a long list of clienteles on his list and wanted an increase of rent per month. However, after 18-24 months, the clientele list never existed to having interest in the billboard. After much failure in gaining clients for the billboards, Mr. Macera was told that there was an agreement for release in exchange for $7,000.00 plus HST. However, what he received was $3,500.00 with no HST from Abcon 2001 Inc. The e-mails for the release had happened between Abcon Media, which was simply a tradename for Abcon 2001 Inc., which Mr. Macera did not know about. AMCI had been a company started for the negotiations with Mr. Macera, and he was told by the defendants that they had 25 years of experience of selling advertising space, when the truth was, the Macera billboard was the first business interaction for …show more content…
The first issue was whether Mr. Bhasin properly pled breach of the duty of good faith. The second issue was whether Can-Am owed Mr. Bhasin a duty of good faith, and if Can-Am breached that duty. The third issue was whether the respondents were liable for the torts of inducing breach of contract or civil conspiracy. Finally, the last issue was if there was a breach, what was the appropriate measure of damages?
Legal Issues Relating to Good Faith in Macera
The case posed four issues in terms of good faith. The first issue was what the meaning of Bhasin was and its application to the facts of Macera. The second issue was whether Abro and McMulkin provided personal guarantees re the lease. The third issue was whether the corporate veil should be pierced, which in turn would make Abro and McMulkin liable. Lastly, the fourth issue was whether the parties agreed to terms to settle the lease.

    The Case Of Moon Microsystems, Inc. V. John Zucchini?

    For my Essay #3, The Juror’s Reflection, I have chosen to discuss the case of Moon Microsystems, Inc. v. John Zucchini. I have chosen this case as I found John Zucchini sounded very innocent during my first read through of the trial description, but on each successive read through I found he sounded more and more guilty. I believe that Zucchini would have had a hard time justifying any benefits of his chosen domain name outside of the gained popularity through Moon’s customer’s confusion. In this case, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff, Moon Microsystems, Inc.…

    Case Study: APUSA Inc. V. State Of California

    Judge Casas’ Ruling In APUSA Inc. v The State of California the court rules in favor of APUSA,Inc. The court finds the State of California violated the establishment clause using the Lemon Test and Agostoni test. In both instances the CCQEA explicitly violates the establishment clause by way of money being directly distributed from the government to the religious institutions, joined with a lack of specificity of how the money is to be used. The State of California would be served in adding guidelines to the law clearly dictating that grant money is not to be used for secular purpose.…

    Basulto Vs. Hialeah Automotive: Case Study

    The lawsuit of Basulto v. Hialeah Automotive had its origins in a contract disagreement between parties. The plaintiffs in the case were Roberto Basulto and Raquel Gonzalez, whom were husband and wife and considered by the courts to be “the buyers”. On the other hand, the defendant in the case was Hialeah Automotive, LLC, who also went by the name of Potamkin Dodge, and was considered by the courts to be “the dealership” (Basulto v. Hialeah, 2014). In 2004, Basulto and Gonzalez purchased from Hialeah Automotive a 2005 Dodge Caravan. According to the buyers, the contract provided to them by the dealership was blank with the assurance that the sums would be filled in at a later time (Basulto v. Hialeah, 2014).…

    However, Sales of Good Act 1979 does not apply to private sellers. Therefore, customers are not able to claim breach of contract to private sellers as Sales of Good Act 1979 does not apply to them. However, according to Sales of Good act 1979 section 14(5), it states that private sellers who sells goods have to make it clear to the buyer so that buyers are aware that business is able to avoid liability under Sales of Good act. On the other hand, business are able to limit liability through exclusion clause which questions the validity of Sales of Good Act 1979 to protect…

    Collateral Estoppel Case

    Rule 14-207(b), that GSMC and Ocwen lack standing to pursue foreclosure, and that the denial of her motions constitute a denial of procedural due process. These arguments rest on the premise that neither GSMC nor Ocwen has an enforceable interest in Sucklal’s note. It has been conclusively determined, however, that GSMC and Ocwen do have enforceable interests in the note. The judgment rendered in Sucklal’s declaratory judgment action satisfies the elements so as to invoke collateral estoppel with respect to the issue of Sucklal’s liability to GSMC and Ocwen on the instrument. Accordingly, Sucklal is estopped from arguing that GSMC and Ocwen have no interest in her note.…

    Comparisons to Industry Averages and a Close Competitor We chose to compare Telus to Rogers because both companies are part of the “Big 3” telecom organizations in Canada (Bell being the largest of the three). Although Telus and Rogers are similar in size, they are slightly different in terms of market share and subscribers. In fact, according to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, Telus has a market share of 28% and Rogers has 33% in the wireless subscription market in 2013 (CRTC, 2015).

    The Case Of Gibson Vs. Storer V Manchester City Council

    Contracts are an integral part of society, having strong legal contractual principles gives confidence to consumers, investors and anyone who wishes to enter into a contract. Entering in a contract shows that in a primitive way that two parties are on the same page, however it is noted that a high proportion of litigation does actually stem from misunderstood contract (Duxbury (2011)).In this scenario Gary believes he has a valid contract with Mike and is disappointed to learn that Mike has sold on the Bike to Liz (third party). Using previous cases as precedent and analysing the conditions in which a contract is made, advice will be given to Gary on his legal position in regards to the contract and whether there is any suitable remedy that…

    Theories Of The Case Of Carlill Vs. Carbolic Smoke Ball Co.

    It was held that the manufacturer owed the claimant duty of care and ever since, it was advised that all cases of the same matters should be assessed using this case. If a claimant wants the court to believe that indeed the defendant was negligent, he needs to prove that the defendant owed him duty of care that is the question of whether the defendant had knowledge. If that is proved, then the claimant should prove that the defendant was in breach of that duty and that the breach of duty caused damage. Let us take for instance the case of Caparo v Dickman (1990). Caparo Industries purchased shares in Fidelity Plc in reliance of the accounts which misstated that the company had made a pre-tax profit of £1.…
