Scenario

 

You are a trainee solicitor at the firm City Lawyers. Your supervisor has provided you with the following information in respect of your client, Beata, and asked you to prepare a letter of advice relating to the damages arising out of Beata’s contract with Agro Ltd.

With reference to the issues identified in the contract, advise how successful litigation is likely to be for Beata and the type of damages (if any) that may she may be able to claim. Please use relevant case law to support your answer. You should also take into account any other practical considerations in your advice.

Summary of Facts

Agro Ltd provides hairdressing and styling services to fashion houses. Beata manages six fashion models. She prides herself on being an ethical business. On 1 June 2019, Agro Ltd agreed to style all of Beata’s models’ hair for a fashion show in London. Agro’s manager, Charley, says to Beata “I am sure our stylists only use the best quality free from animal testing hair products”.

On the day of the fashion show, 3 out of 5 Agro’s hair stylists went on strike without giving Agro any notice. The show was a failure with the hair styling being rushed through, resulting in the models not being properly presented for the catwalk. The audience walked out and the press gave Beata’s show a very negative review.

It also turned out that the hair products used by Agro had been tested on animals. Beata is aggrieved that her reputation for being anti animal-testing is now damaged.

Beata claims to have suffered:

• Loss of the hire of the venue
• Loss of profits as she had to refund the fashion designers who had paid her for the services of the models
• Loss of future earnings as an important client has decided to cancel their contract with Beata upon finding out that her models used products which had been tested on animals.

1. Find three potential solutions to the problems in which China is facing after signing the agreement.

2. The aim of this paper is to present a critical analysis of different options to resolve the issue, suggest why these three solutions might be used to address the issue and most importantly evaluate why it may or may not be successful.

3. The evaluation should suggest some of the conceptual and or political problems associated with trying to implement the solutions and, thus, why you would or would not favour it.

4. It is perfectly fine to take solutions that have already been proposed in political or academic circles and evaluate them, rather than coming up with your own.

5. Whatever solutions considered, they have to be realistic.

6. In the conclusion, don’t think that you have to present *the one* solution, from the three discussed. If none of them are workable, say that. There are some issues that are very complex and problematic and, in turn, require equally complex, multifaceted solutions that go beyond how we are able to understand now. It is perfectly acceptable for you to present this as your finding; no one solution is enough

Scenario

Mr. Stephen Galbraith, aged 52, is a consultant heart surgeon who, from the beginning of his marriage, has travelled abroad extensively working for a charity. His wife, Marisa, aged 50, was a minor celebrity cat-walk model in her younger days and now spends much of her time pursuing plastic surgery and other beauty treatments. She has a younger brother, Simon, aged 41, who left home as a teenager , became homeless, and has since lived a precarious existence in and out of hostels. He is believed to be a heroin addict but neither Marisa or any of the family are in touch with him.

Stephen and Marisa have three children who were brought up largely by a series of nannies.
Alice, aged 25, is anorexic and sometimes bulimic. She suffers very low self- esteem despite the fact that she co-owns a very successful high-end designer clothes shop with a loyal core of wealthy customers. She is unmarried and finds it difficult to maintain relationships with the opposite sex.

Susannah, 30, was born before Marisa’s marriage and lived with her grandmother, now dead, until her mother married Stephen. She has had no contact with her natural father who has no wish to be involved in her life. She is agoraphobic to the extent of refusing to leave her home. Her husband, Alex, is a GP and is very sympathetic to her condition. He does all the shopping and all chores which necessitate leaving the house, such as taking the cars to be serviced, the dogs to the vet, et cetera. Susannah will not ‘allow’ him nights out , insisting that she needs to have him at home. They have no children. Alex is suffering from several symptoms of stress including insomnia and irritability at work.

Toby, 20, was adopted as Marisa wanted a son but was unwilling to become pregnant again for fear of damaging her figure and career prospects. Toby knows he is adopted and thinks he knows why. He has been diagnosed as a borderline paranoid schizophrenic . He has frequent outbursts of anger but manages, so far, to hold down a job in a supermarket. He lives at home with Marisa and has a talent for devising computer games but at the moment this is just a hobby.
