Blue Sugar's Claim About Water Loss

Decent Essays
Final Summary:

Blue Sugar’s claim about the loss of merchandise which was ruined by water damage, could not be confirmed due to the lack of evidence to demonstrate that the water which flooded the area, caused enough water damage to ruin the merchandise in the boxes. The investigation never revealed any proof to show that the merchandise inside the cardboard boxes was either wrapped and protected with plastic to prevent a mishap as this from occurring.

Even though there are no photographs to show the substantial amount of ruined merchandise had occurred, the amount of water which leaked underneath the floor board and into the store next to Blue Sugar demonstrates there was significant water flooding.

    It is unlikely that Sandy Banks will be able to recover damages from Faneuil Hall. There are three reasons why a court will not hold Faneuil Hall liable for negligence. First, the discolored banana peel may have been dropped by another customer. Second, there weren’t any Faneuil Hall employees present at the time of the incident. Third, because the incident occurred after the employees cleaned and there wasn’t a recent inspection, Faneuil Hall couldn’t have reasonably discovered the banana peel.…

It seems evident that in life individuals will experience a multitude of life situations, although certain ones can be positive experiences others can be challenging. With such approach a variety of assumptions have been expressed such as believing that some individuals are better equipped than others to cope with life’s traumas, whether it be because they were born that way, or tested through life experiences. An example, of a particular crisis event is that of the Cocoanut Grove fire which took place on November 28, 1942, which was located in Boston, MA where a total of 491 individuals were killed and sent hundreds more to the hospital…

    “What’s in a name?” (Shakespeare 2.2.42) Juliet asks in her famous line, a declaration of her devotion to Romeo which paradoxically emphasizes the importance of names in the Romeo and Juliet in general. Written four centuries later, Water By The Spoonful echoes this sentiment by allowing characters to name themselves online and, therefore, control and dictate their identities. Both Shakespeare and Hudes select names pregnant with meaning as a tool for characterization; however, while Shakespeare picks names the illuminate aspects of his characters’ personalities, the names Hudes’ uses reveal characters greatest inner struggles.…
