Case for 12 April 2024 Friday Discussion Session: Trouble Cooking Your cousin Ric declines your invitation to an important family event because he’s overwhelmed with obligations of his kitchen remodeling business, which has grown rapidly over the past few years. He currently has 11 jobs in progress, and is struggling to coordinate the efforts of his employees: 1 cabinetmaker, 1 finisher, 2 site installation foremen, 1 plumber, 1 electrician, 6 full-time construction workers, and various subcontractors and day laborers that he hires intermittently. Most jobs are falling behind schedule, and clients are getting upset about the disruption created by unfinished construction in their kitchens. Construction workers are often kept waiting for flooring, tiling, plumbing, and electrical work to be completed, so they move from site to site frequently, and clients are never sure when workers will be showing up. Additional delays are caused by surprises such as rot, undisclosed asbestos, and shortages of supplies. Ric has been quoting longer schedules on new jobs, but that hasn’t helped much. Having heard that you’ve been learning new ways to organize people to solve problems, he asks for your advice on his situation. What do you tell him?

What is the most likely goal for Andrew who has started a food truck business after he lost his job because of the economic downturn?

Mike and Raj decide to open up a shop that sells takeaway Indian food. They call it 'Curry in a Hurry'. They agree that Raj is to be the chef and will be solely responsible in this area. Mike is to take on a management role and be responsible for buying utensils, kitchen products and groceries and storing and packaging of food products. Janice, a friend of Mike, has agreed to help them financially with the starting of the business by lending them $15,000, provided she is repaid out of the profits for the next two years. In April of this year, Raj visits his friend Jake who owns a shop in the city called Kitchen King. Jake shows him one of his new products, COOKTEC, that costs $9000. COOKTEC can do almost everything in the kitchen, from peeling and chopping onions to blending purees, grinding spices, and even cooking. Raj likes the product and decides to buy it for the shop. Jake tells Raj he has a special 'Mother's Day' offer on that day - a 10% discount (which he would give Raj personally as an incentive if he buys the COOKTEC). Raj is happy with the price and immediately agrees to buy it. Jake gives him the $900 incentive payment in cash. When the invoice arrives at the restaurant, Mike is very angry that Raj has bought such an expensive product without discussing the purchase with him and refuses to pay on the invoice. At around the same time, Ashton has recently complained that the food he ordered from 'Curry in a Hurry' has caused him severe gastroenteritis, leaving him unable to work for several weeks. Tests have shown that the campylobacter bacteria was in the paneer (cheese) probably because it had not been stored at a proper temperature. It is true that on one occasion during a recent hot spell Mike forgot to put the paneer in the fridge. Ashton sues Mike, Raj and Janice for negligence, seeking damages to cover the medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering. Your questions are: (a) is there a partnership between Mike, Raj, and Janice?; (b) assuming for the purposes of (b) only that a partnership exists, who is liable to pay for the COOKTEC?; (c) Mike has no money or assets. Advise Ashton whether he can successfuly sue either Raj and/or Janice; (d) is Raj entitled to retain the incentive payment? Refer to relevant sections of the legislation and appropriate cases to support your arguments.
