Read Chapter 15 , Law for Business, 18th Edition Assignment #1 : Important Discussion Guidelines Background: As the textbook states, judicial interpretation is an important element of the legal process. Courts can interpret laws differently. Higher courts can reverse a decision of a lower court. Law is shaped by opinions. Requirement: For this discussion, you are asked to provide your opinion regarding the case provided. Your opinion might differ from your classmates. This can be expected as values differ.

A person who is conservative may have a very different opinion from one who is liberal. After reading Chapter 15, provide your opinion of the case below by answering the following questions: Who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant? What is the plaintiff arguing? What is the defendant arguing? What is your opinion on this case? Who should win in court and why? Any other thoughts? Incorporate at least one textbook principle (with page number) in your dialogue. Case Problem: T.T. Dunphy was a carrier that was to deliver steel industrial filters approximately eleven feet by eleven feet and weighing 2,000 pounds, from Castine Energy Construction Inc.’s factory in Maine to Virginia. To help load the filters onto trailers, Castine welded iron crossbars on them. Castine then loaded them onto a flatbed trailer. Castine did not intend the crossbars to be used to secure the filters to the trailers. However, Dunphy’s driver arrived and secured the filters to the trailer by attaching chains to the iron crossbars. While driving to Virginia, the driver drove over a bump in the highway. The filters came loose, fell onto the highway, and were irreparably damaged. Castine sued Dunphy. Who suffers the loss?
