Contract Law

Use reliable resources, such as the textbook and other course resources, to support your evaluation. Specifically, include the following components in your evaluation:

1. Contract between The Friendly Dawg and landlord Lou
   1. Analyze the scenario to determine whether a valid contract still exists between The Friendly Dawg and landlord Lou.
      1. Explain the elements of a valid contract, and identify which contract elements, if any, exist between The Friendly Dawg and landlord Lou.
   2. Analyze the potential rights, claims, defenses, obligations, and remedies available to both landlord Lou and The Friendly Dawg in this scenario.
      1. Support your analysis by referencing specific legal principles or laws.
2. Contract between Sunshine Yoga and landlord Lou
   1. Analyze the scenario to determine whether a valid contract still exists between Sunshine Yoga and landlord Lou.
      1. Explain the elements of a valid contract, and identify which contract elements, if any, exist between Sunshine Yoga and landlord Lou.
   2. Analyze the potential rights, claims, defenses, obligations, and remedies available to both landlord Lou and Sunshine Yoga in this scenario.
      1. Support your analysis by referencing specific legal principles or laws.
3. Grounds to evict

1. Tort law: Define what tort law is and how torts may affect business practices.
2. Relevant tort laws: Identify tort laws relevant to the scenario, specifically the incident involving the snake.
3. Legal claims
   1. Identify what legal claims Sunshine Yoga might have against The Friendly Dawg and landlord Lou, based on those tort laws and related legal principles.
