Subway advertises and sells foot-long sandwiches. Because of the recession caused by CONVID-19, the CEO of Subway decides that instead of raising the prices of the foot-long sandwiches, he would make the sandwiches 11 inches instead of 12 inches, and still call them “foot-long” sandwiches. He was determined that no customer would realize 1 inch difference. This adjustment would lower food costs by over $1 million per year, based on the over 8 million foot-long sandwiches Subway sells worldwide.

You MUST use the 5-element rule. The textbook breaks the rule for Fraudulent Misrepresentation into 5 separate elements.  This information can be found in Chapter 6, on page 120,  under heading “Fraudulent Misrepresentation”, where the author states “The tort includes several elements:” and lists all five elements of the rule.  These 5 elements make up the rule for fraudulent misrepresentation.  Please note that all 5 elements make up the one rule that students must use.  These are not separate rules, they are the five elements that make up the ONE rule for fraudulent misrepresentation.  Note that the sentence “involves intentional deceit for personal gain” is NOT after “The tort includes several elements”,  therefore if I see the words,: “involves intentional deceit for personal gain”, your grade on this assignment will be deducted by 25%.  Here’s some help (This is not a template so DO NOT COPY this information below and paste it in your paper –  I provided extra help for assignment #1, but on this assignment you will need to state the issue, rule, analyze the elements and conclude with a minimum amount of my help.

Issue: Your issue must always include the cause of action (Example: battery, assault, fraudulent misrepresentation, contract, etc. Just stating, “Is Jack liable for the injuries is not enough!”)  Your issue must also be in the the form of a question, with a question mark.

Rule: List all 5 elements in one sentence (Do NOT number or bullet point  the elements).  Do not add to you rule.  I should only see these 5 elements on page 120.

Analysis: Complete your analysis on all 5 elements. Your analysis should state the first element followed by “because . . .” Then the second element followed by “because . . .” and so on. (Do NOT number or bullet point the elements)

Conclusion: Conclude if the five elements have been met.

If you fail to use the 5-element rule and prepare an analysis on the same 5 element rule you will not receive credit on this assignment. No exceptions.

Assessment Task

Terry was an employee of Cosmo Mining Services Pty Ltd (CMS). CMS is a subsidiary of Cosmo Mine Ltd (CM) as CM owns 120 of the 200 issued shares in CMS. CMS owns and operates a lead, zinc and copper mine at Gunbarrel, Western Queensland. CM has an arrangement with the New Vision Bank Ltd whereby it leases all of the mining equipment and then subleases the equipment to CMS which pays CM a leasing charge per annum equal to the bank’s leasing costs plus 10 per cent.

Recently, CMS has attracted considerable media attention as scientists have discovered that CMS’s mining activities have contaminated a nearby river which supplies the water to the

mine and Gunbarrel. A number of Gunbarrel residents and former employees, including Terry, have contracted cancer because they drank the contaminated water. The CMS shareholders call a general meeting for the purpose of addressing CMS’s potential liability to its employees (current and former) as well as the residents of Gunbarrel. The CMS shareholders unanimously vote in favour of selling CMS’s business to a newly formed company, Lazarus Pty Ltd, and winding up of CMS. Advise Terry if he can take action against Lazarus Pty Ltd, CMS and/or CM.

Hurricane Harvey hit Texas on August 25, 2017. It caused $180 billion in damage, making it the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history. To give you a sense of that number, the budget for the entire state government of Texas is about $109 billion per year.

Public Policy – Flooding

Hurricane Harvey hit Texas on August 25, 2017. It caused $180 billion in damage, making it the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history. To give you a sense of that number, the budget for the entire state government of Texas is about $109 billion per year.

The Houston Chronicle ran an extensive six-part story last December on public policy decisions by federal, state and local officials before and during the hurricane. While nobody is blaming government for the hurricane, the Chronicle story claims that unwise policy decisions and missed opportunities had a lot to do with why the damage was so extensive.

Houston has always been a pro-business, pro-growth place, as we studied back in the first chapter of our book. Did Houston’s pro-growth policies make this disaster worse?

Write our standard 3 – 5 page essay explaining some of the public policy decisions – good and bad – that impacted the flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. What should we do going forward, and how should we pay for it?

Submit in Word. Cite your sources.
