Owen owns Peak Adventures, an outdoor recreation company that offers guided hiking tours. He hired Dan as a tour guide, paying him a monthly salary and providing him with company uniforms, equipment, and a company vehicle for transporting clients. During Dan’s initial training, Owen mentioned that while Peak Adventures focuses primarily on hiking, he was “generally cautious about climbing activities” and told Dan to “use good judgment about what’s safe for clients.” One Saturday, Dan was leading a scheduled hiking tour with a group of eight clients. After completing the planned hike, three clients asked Dan if he could take them rock climbing at a nearby cliff. Dan, an experienced climber who had previously worked as a climbing instructor, believed he could safely guide the clients. He agreed and drove them in the company vehicle to the climbing site. During the climb, Dan was demonstrating a technique when he accidentally dislodged a large rock that struck James, one of the clients below. James suffered serious injuries requiring surgery and months of rehabilitation. James has now filed a lawsuit against Peak Adventures seeking $500,000 in damages. Owen claims Peak Adventures should not be held liable because climbing was not an authorized service and Dan was negligent in dislodging the rock. Dan argues that he was acting within his role as a tour guide and was trying to provide excellent customer service consistent with Owen’s instruction to “use good judgment.” Additionally, Peak Adventures’ website includes a page titled “Our Expert Guides” featuring Dan’s profile, which mentions his “extensive outdoor recreation experience” without specifying which activities he is authorized to lead. What claims might James assert against Peak Adventures, and what is the likely outcome? Discuss all relevant issues in IRAC form.

In the jurisdiction of Hobbs, Tyler, a 22-year-old college student, attends a fancy dinner party. Tyler is dressed in his best dress cargo shorts and a bright Hawaiian shirt. Tyler has consumed several champagne flutes. Around 1:00 a.m., Tyler gets into a heated argument with Jordan, another guest, over a spilled drink. Tyler yells, “I’m going to mess you up if you don’t pay for my fine rayon and polyester blend Hawaiian shirt!” Jordan laughs and turns away, stating that it is an “ugly excuse for a shirt.” Tyler became enraged upon hearing the insult to the dignity of his shirt and punches Jordan in the face, causing a bloody nose and a cut above the eye that requires stitches. Jordan staggers and pulls out a pocketknife, and says, “Back off or I’ll cut you and your ugly shirt.” Tyler, fearing he is about to be stabbed, grabs Jordan’s wrist to disarm him and to protect his beautiful shirt. Struggling, Tyler twists Jordan’s arm forcefully, causing Jordan to drop the knife. Tyler knows that there is a wallet in Jordan’s front pocket and that rayon and polyester blend Hawaiian shirts are on sale for buy one get nine free. Desiring to stock up on high quality Hawaiian shirts, Tyler shoves Jordan’s arm aside and grabs Jordan’s wallet which contains $800 cash and credit cards and runs away. Jordan pursues Tyler into the street, yelling that while Tyler can earn more money Jordan’s Hawaiian shirt will forever be an “ugly excuse for a shirt.” Hearing the insult and seeing his pursuer, Tyler turns and swings his fist at Jordan. Tyler misses and accidentally strikes a bystander, Alex, who is wearing a 100% wool tuxedo. Alex is knocked to the ground where his collar bone is fractured on impact. Tyler is tackled by two other partygoers who also fail to appreciate his Hawaiian shirt. During a later interview the police Tyler claims he was too intoxicated to form any specific intent and that he only took the wallet because he believed Jordan owed him money for the ruined shirt. Please discuss: Discuss whether Tyler can be charged with any crimes. Also discuss any defenses like intoxication that Tyler might raise.

Sam wanted to paint the roof of his house a new color, but did not want to paint it himself. So, instead, he placed a sign on his lawn that stated: “I will pay $1,000 to the first person who paints my house light blue.” Later that same day, Jeff walked by and noticed the sign. Jeff thought this was a great way to make some extra cash and hurried to the store to buy some light blue paint. Luckily, the store had exactly what Jeff needed including the paint, paintbrush, and a ladder. His total for the supplies cost him $100. Upon coming back to paint the house, Jeff noticed the roof had already been painted light blue. Jeff ran up to the door and knocked loudly. When Sam answered, Jeff exclaimed “What gives? I went to the store, bought all the supplies, but when I came back the house was already painted!” Sam replied, “Yes, someone came by just before you and did the job. I paid him the $1,000. Better luck next time!” Jeff was furious. “You can’t do this!” He shouted. “I already accepted your offer before the roof was painted!” Jeff is now suing Sam. You are the judge on the case. How should you rule? Explain.

Danny sadly lost his dog, Callie, when it unexpectedly got out one day from his backyard. Danny posted an advertisement in a local newspaper that read: HELP! LOST DOG!$1,000.00 REWARD!NO QUESTIONS ASKED! [Danny’s phone number was included along with a photograph of Callie] Pete, a local friend of Danny’s, saw the advertisement and set out to find Callie. Pete let Danny know that he took the week off from work in order to look for Callie, and wouldn’t stop until she was found. Pete’s salary is $750/week. Danny expressed his gratitude for Pete’s efforts. The next day, Danny called Pete and told him not to worry about finding his dog; Danny said that if Callie wanted to come home, she would, and that he was just going to get another dog. This upset Pete who loudly told Danny that he was still going to find his dog and, whether he wanted her or not, once his dog was found, that Danny needed to pay him. A few days later, Pete found Callie and brought her to Danny, demanding the $1,000.00. Danny became enraged, telling Pete that that reward had already been cancelled. However, wanting to resolve this informally, Danny and Pete agreed on the amount of $500.00 in order to resolve their disagreement. Danny promptly paid Pete the $500.00 and reluctantly took his dog back. It turns out that Danny lost interest in having Callie returned upon finding out that she was only worth $100.00. The next week, Pete makes an appointment with you, a local attorney, to see what his rights are concerning his recent dealings with Danny. Was a legally enforceable agreement formed between them? Discuss. Assuming that a legally enforceable agreement was formed between them, was the later attempt to modify the agreement valid? Discuss. If a court should find that there is not an enforceable contract, does Pete have any equitable remedies available? Discuss. What monetary damages may Pete seek, if any? Calculate expectation, reliance, and restitution damages; assume all such types of damages are available to Pete.
