L5M3 Exam Dumps : Managing Contractual Risk

Explanation

The correct answers are as follows:

The answer is collaborate because they have set up a meeting to discuss options.

Explanation

Verity can sue for damages. The order was placed over the phone meaning that there was a verbal contract in place. Contracts do not need to be written to be enforceable so option 2 is incorrect. There is no termination clause mentioned in the question so you can assume that there isn't one. This means that the retailer is committing a breach of the verbal contract by cancelling the order. Verity could therefore apply for damages. (Whether or not they'd be awarded is a different matter!). This question tests your understanding of when contracts can be terminated and remedies for breaches. See p. 134.

Explanation

The correct answers are 1 and 3. The other options are false; Mediation does not produce legal precedents- only litigation can do this. Mediation is a cheap dispute resolution option (much cheaper than arbitration or litigation) and the third party has no authority on the matter- they are there as a facilitator of dialogue, not to make a judgement. For more information on mediation see p.74
