An employee properly sued her employer for wrongful discharge in federal court. During discovery, the employee served the employer with a discovery request for information regarding all employment termination over the previous 15 years, regardless of the position. The employer objected, and the employee filed a motion to compel the requested discovery. The court denied the motion to compel, and the employee wants to file an immediate appeal to review this decision. Does the employee have a right to an immediate appeal
Answer:
No, because the trial court's order is an "interlocutory order" that can be reviewed prior to final judgment only if the trial court certifies it for immediate appeal and the appellate court, in its discretion, agrees to hear the appeal
Explanation:
Interlocutory orders
This is simply known as an order or judgment usually made in a case before the said parties claim or defense and every issue in the case has been reviewed or settled and they are not appealable. it is a form of rulings that trial judges do make in the course of pretrial proceedings and trials that were not entirely settled/resolve in the case. Therefore, they are not final. In this scenario above, interlocutory orders are usually not immediately reviewable on appeal until a final order is made such as meeting one of the exceptions permitting an appeal as of right (i.e., orders granting injunctions; orders appointing a receiver etc). This Appeals also may grant the review of an interlocutory order, but it is discretionary, and may be available only when the trial judge signs that the interlocutory order and the court of appeals then agrees to allow the appeal.

Prepare a balance sheet in proper format for the company as of December 31st based on the following accounts. Answer questions 8 through 10 based on this balance sheet.
Answer:
Total liabilities = $25,000
Explanation:
Missing information;
Accounts Payable = $5,000
Long-term Notes Receivable = $10,000
Accounts Receivable = $15,000
Accrued Expenses = $3,000
Cash = $10,000

An oil well exploded in Western Colorado, killing three workers. The well was owned by Denver-Carrington, a large multi-national oil company. The families of the workers are suing Denver-Carrington, claiming the company was negligent in maintaining the oil well. In its defense, Denver-Carrington offers two documents. The first is a monthly maintenance report filled out by the company's regional safety inspector, indicating that the oil well was inspected and found to be in good working condition every month from the day it was built until the day it exploded. The second is an e-mail, written by the same inspector to the CEO of the company, which was written a few hours after the incident and provides a physical description of the damage to the pump and the surrounding area. The plaintiffs object to both documents as hearsay. The judge should: a. Preclude both documents. b. Admit the monthly maintenance report but not the e-mail. c. Admit the e-mail but not the monthly maintenance report. d. Admit both documents.
Answer: . b. Admit the monthly maintenance report but not the e-mail.
Explanation:
The monthly maintenance report can be admitted because it was done without the extraordinary circumstance of the oil well explosion occurring. This is unlike the email that was only done after the well exploded.
The point it, the regional safety inspector made the maintenance reports without an explosion happening so there is less chance of bias. The email was however sent after the explosion so could be biased in order to avoid a law suit.

A gas station owner properly filed a breach of a noncompete clause in an employment contract case in federal court against a former manager, who began building a similar gas station across the street. The owner's complaint requested money damages and an injunction to stop the construction. The former manager wants a jury trial, but the gas station owner prefers that the issue be litigated before the judge. Can the former manager demand a jury trial for both claims
Answer:
No, because, while the Seventh Amendment gives both the plaintiff and defendant the right to demand a jury trial in civil actions, when a case presents both legal and equitable claims, the right is only preserved for all legal claims, not equitable claims.
Explanation:
Equitable claim is one that requests an injunction from a court. That is the court is asked to compel another party to either take an action or refrain from taking an action. The focus is to prevent a future harm.
A legal claim is one that where the plaintiff proves harm done against their person and he is seeking compensation for harm inflicted.
The Seventh Amendment gives parties the right to request a jury trial only on legal claims.
In the given scenario the case is one that is an equitable claim. The owner's complaint requested money damages and an injunction to stop the construction. This is done to stop breach of the non-compete.
As the Seventh Amendment only allows jury trial for legal claims, the former manager cannot demand a jury trial.
A landowner owned a large piece of property containing an inn and a bakery. She entered into a contract to sell the property to a purchaser for $1 million. The contract was recorded. The purchaser gave the landowner $200,000 as earnest money. The closing date was set for September 10, two months after the signing of the contract. On August 10, an arsonist set fire to the inn, which burned to the ground. On September 10, the landowner appeared at the closing and tendered the deed to the property. The buyer refused to tender the remaining $800,000 of the purchase price and demanded the return of his earnest money. The landowner sued the buyer for specific performance of the contract. The buyer countersued for the return of his earnest money. Both parties stipulate that the value of the property without the inn is $600,000, that insurance on the property had lapsed, and that the common law, unmodified by statute, applies. What is the most likely result at trial
Answer:
The most likely result at trial is that the landowner's claim for specific performance will be successful, and she will be awarded the entire price of contract.
Explanation:
When there isn't a statute, the buyer bears the risk of loss when property subject to a contract for sale is destroyed without fault of any party prior to the date specified for closing. Unless the contract specifies otherwise, the buyer must pay the contract price even if the property is damaged by fire.
The inn was burned down in this case after the landowner and the buyer signed a contract for the sale of the property, but before the closing date. The contract appears to be silent on the risk of loss, and no appropriate statute exists. As a result of the common law rule, the buyer bears the risk of loss. Therefore, the landowner has the right to particular execution of the contract, which implies that the entire stipulated contract price must be paid by the buyer.
Regardless of the property's drop in worth owing to the fire, the $1 million contract price must be paid by the buyer because he bears the risk of loss.
Therefore, the most likely result at trial is that the landowner's claim for specific performance will be successful, and she will be awarded the entire price of contract.

Agile project management involves ____ whereas traditional project management involves _______. Multiple Choice known and stable scope, unknown requirements high certainty, projects with unstable scope projects with high predictability, project with unknown or unstable requirements iterative and incremental delivery, upfront planning with high predictability high uncertainty, projects with unknown requirements
Answer:
For comprehension purposes, I would write the question again with options attached below:
Agile project management involves ____ whereas traditional project management involves _______. Multiple Choice
a. known and stable scope, unknown requirements
b. high certainty, projects with unstable scope
c. projects with high predictability, project with unknown or unstable requirements
d. iterative and incremental delivery, upfront planning with high predictability
e. high uncertainty, projects with unknown requirements
The correct answer is option d. (iterative and incremental delivery, upfront planning with high predictability)
So, Agile project management involves iterative and incremental delivery whereas traditional project management involves upfront planning with high predictability.
Explanation:
Agile project management involves iterative and incremental delivery as Agile project management allows making changes to the product which then opens ways for iteration. Agile life cycles are composed of several iterations because of changes that might arise due to feedback during the production process of the project.
Traditional project management is highly predictable and it doesn't give room for changes as project cycles and stages are planned ahead. It's a rigid process.
According to business strategy, Agile project management involves iterative and incremental delivery,
whereas traditional project management involves upfront planning with high predictability.
What is Agile Project Management?Agile Project Management is a style of business or production management that allows the production process to be changed accordingly throughout the process till final delivery or life cycle.
On the other hand, traditional project management is a style of project management that ensures the proper planning is done with preparation for uncertainty made at the planning stage; thereby, little or no adjustment is made till final delivery or project cycle.
Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option C. "iterative and incremental delivery, upfront planning with high predictability."

Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
Basically, trade can be categorized into two (2) main groups and these are;
I. Import: this involves bringing in goods from a foreign country to sell in a different (domestic) country.
II. Export: it involves the sales of goods produced in a domestic country to a foreign country.
Some examples of trade barriers are import license, quotas, subsidies, embargo, currency devaluation, local content requirements, tariffs, etc.

A tariff increase usually reduce the nation's dependence on imports.
Hence, if tariffs are increased, the long-run effect is most likely to be a decrease in both American imports and exports.
