Case of Negligence on The Part of Contractor
Question
Mrs. Rusholme engaged the firm of Saunders and Watts to refinish floors in certain rooms of a home owned by her and her husband in Red Deer, Alberta. She told Mr. Saunders that she and her husband would be away on vacation and that she would leave a key for the workers with her next door neighbor. She asked Saunders to leave the windows partially open for ventilation and to give the key back to her neighbor who would close the windows when the floors were dry. The Rusholmes' house was serviced by gas. Among the appliances was a gas stove in the kitchen with a pilot light (a small flame within which will ignite the burners or oven when the burners or oven are turned on) which could be turned off manually. The downstairs floors of the house, including that of the dining room, were to be sanded; the dining room was next to the kitchen with no door between the two rooms. After sanding the floors, Saunders and Watts applied a sealer that they had bought from Standard Household Products Ltd. The label on each can of sealer contained the following warning: DANGER-FLAMMABLE Do not smoke. Adequate ventilation to the outside must be provided. All spark-producing devices and open flames (furnaces, all pilot lights, spark producing switches, etc) must be eliminated in or near working areas. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. Wear a vapor cartridge mask. Replace cartridge before saturation. On completing their work Saunders and Watts discussed what they should do about the doors and windows they had opened to allow the vapor to escape. Saunders recalled a reference to a recent case he had read about in the newspaper in which repairers who had left doors open after they had finished their work had been held liable in damages when thieves had entered and stolen valuable contents. The two men then closed all the doors and windows and left the key on the kitchen table beside the stove. About 8 hours after Saunders and Watts left, an explosion occurred in the house and it was seriously damaged. On returning home from their vacation the Rusholmes found their home in ruins, and were dismayed to discover that they had neglected to renew the fire insurance policy, which had expired only a few days before they had left on vacation. The Rusholmes brought an action for damages against the firm of Saunders and Watts and against Standard Household Products Ltd. Outline the legal questions raised by these facts and give your opinion of the probable outcome of the court case with reasons.

Earlier I used to find excuses for not doing my location strategy homework, when Veronica, my friend told me about HwA and then everything fell into place. Starting from the strategic location assignments to the critical path measure problem solutions, their location strategy strategic location experts helped me get a straight A in all the homework.

The best part about the assignments is the quality of writing that I have received every time. The “real world†examples suggested by the online Variance analysis assignment experts with requisite numbers to back up the examples help take my variance analysis – performance metrics assignment stand apart from the others in my class and have helped improve my over all grade point average.

I must say that the random variable assignment experts here in HwA can surely make the numbers talk. I was given a sheet of data to analyze and honestly I had no clue whatsoever on how to approach. When I came to them they explained me the concept of discrete random variables (as the data was of an outcome of random test on some microorganism) and helped me analyze the same. My teacher at college was very impressed and since then I take help from HwA.

I had an optical networking assignment due along with two other assignments due around the same time. I was just not getting enough time to give for dedicated research on the optical networking assignment. I just wished that someone could take the responsibility of conducting the research on my behalf and structure the assignment also. One of my friends was using TheReliableTutor.com and told me to give it a go. I was so impressed by their quality and service standard that I have become a repeat customer.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
