Federal Declarations are often made only after an initial damage assessment is completed in order to determine whether specific thresholds have been met. This survey is typically conducted by teams of local, state, and federal professionals in the immediate aftermath of an incident. FEMA and other agencies provide worksheets to assist in gathering the information needed to recover funds expended before, during, and after a disaster. This week you will be tasked with reviewing the mock data and utilizing that data to complete an Initial Damage Assessment Report.

It is essential that you are able to populate a formatted spreadsheet with data that has been compiled in order to calculate variables common in disaster recovery such as overtime, debris volume, and vehicle usage.

Consider the following scenario:

You are the emergency manager for a small town in New England. A winter storm has passed through the region, leaving an unprecedented amount of snow and debris from fallen trees. The state emergency management agency has asked to meet with you to assess the damage and compile data in an effort to determine whether the event will reach thresholds for declaration of disaster. If met, this would allow for the impacted communities to request reimbursement of expenses related to the storm. The representative from the state has forwarded a spreadsheet for you to complete ahead of the visit to assist with making the final assessment.

How to complete an Initial Damage Assessment Report.

Review the Facts and Figures Document. This document is an example of data that would be collected from town departments documenting overtime, materials, supplies, and equipment used during the storm.

Federal antitrust enforcers are investigating whether a multinational pharmaceutical company has attempted to minimize the impact of generic competition to one of its most profitable prescription drugs. This antidepressant drug is the company’s best seller, with sales last year of $2.11 billion, representing a 22% increase from the year before.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is conducting an investigation to determine whether the company engaged in activities to prevent generic alternatives to the prescription drug from entering the market. Specifically, the FTC is challenging a practice among brand-name and generic drug manufacturers to agree to delay the introduction of the lower priced generic drugs to the market. 

how will you answer the following questions:

  • Why would the drug maker want to stymie generic competition? Explain your response. 
  • What types of legal barriers to market entry exist? 
  • What are the possible ethical dilemmas that are present in this example?

BULAW 1502: Fundamentals of Law 

Semester 2, 2018 – Assignment

Answer both questions. 

Question one is worth 20 marks (and your answer should be between 600 words long) 

Question two is worth 10 marks (and your answer should be between 400 words long) 

Submission instructions: To be submitted in via Moodle by 11:59 pm, Friday of week 9. 

Always ensure you refer to relevant case and statutory sources to support your answers. 

Question One (20 marks): 

Rollinstone Ltd (Rollinstone) is an electrical wholesaling company operating through warehouses in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide. It supplies electrical consulting services and lights, switches and wiring to builders. The company has an excellent reputation for providing good advice, expert and prompt service and high quality products. 

When a builder contacts the company, Rollinstone sends out an electrician to talk to the builder. Within 24 hours of that meeting Rollinstone sends an email to the builder with a list of recommendations, prices and an estimate of delivery dates. The client then fills in the details on the form sent with the email, signs and returns it by email, posting a hard copy and pays a deposit at the same time. The goods order is then filled and the work done by Rollinstone, normally within one week of the builder’s request. 

Three months ago, the company was sold to Eminem, who is looking for ways of cutting costs. This includes replacing qualified electricians who leave with less-qualified people and looking for cheaper sources for equipment and goods. 

Jimi Hendricks is a builder who has dealt with Rollinstone for some years. The credit terms, prompt delivery, prices and quality offered by Rollinstone are all important to him because he builds high quality houses and is often working under very tight timelines and profit margins. One month ago, he rang the Sydney branch as he normally would, to request assistance with the lighting and other electrical work for a new house. Bob Dillon, who failed his apprenticeship exams, has recently been hired as an electrical assistant. Bob was sent to give Jimi some advice. After his visit, the email from Rollinstone arrived as normal and, without reading it, Jimi duly filled in the details on the form, replied by email, and sent the hard copy plus deposit through the mail, also as he normally would. This letter is delayed because of a postal strike and does not arrive at Rollinstone’s offices until two weeks after he posted it. 

It was only when Jimi rings Rollinstone to arrange for the work to be carried out (three weeks after he sent the email and one week after Rollinstone received the hard copy and deposit) that he discovered there are problems. He is informed by Bett Middler, the Manager of the branch, that some of Bob’s recommendations are impossible to carry out, that some switches have to be ordered from a factory in Asia, that a specialist electrician will have to be employed to do all the work that is possible to complete and that Jimi will have to pay an extra $1000 up-front if he wants this work to be carried out within three months. When Jimi objects, Bett points out that in the email sent by Rollinstone, the price and time estimates were clearly specified as rough estimates only, and that under a new company policy, Jimi’s order was not sent to the supplier until Rollinstone received Jimi’s confirmation and deposit by post. 

Jimi is horrified at this bad news as he has only four weeks in which to complete the house or face penalty payments. 

Required: Advise Jimi as to his legal rights. In your answer, identify any limitations to those rights and his ability to enforce them. Also, list any further information that you would find useful in deciding whether those rights can be enforced. 

Question Two (10 marks): 

The Torrens system of land registration (embedded in state-based land registration legislation) provides for recording, notification, prioritisation and enforcement of interests and claims in and against real property. The Personal Property Securities Act (PPSA) provides for recording, notification, prioritisation and enforcement of claims against personal property. 

Required: With reference to the above statement, discuss the following (answer a AND b, OR a AND c): 

a. The differences between real and personal property (4 marks) 

AND

b. The differences in the nature and scope of claims supported under the land registration system as opposed to the PPSA (6 marks) 

OR 

c. Why the statement refers to “interests and claims in and against real property” but in relation to the PPSA refers only to “claims against personal property”? (6 marks)
