As you prepare for your work with the international task force, listen to the Jailed in China podcast, which will prepare you for the potential challenges of conducting business abroad.
In the next step, you will read more details about the first case the CEO needs the task force to analyze.
Step 1: Review the Dualplex 360 Case
URGENT MESSAGE (Special Assignment)
From: Janet Yoon, CEO, Colossal Corporation
To: International Task Force
Good day all,
I’m pleased with your analysis of the employment law issues at NBD and would now like you to focus your attention on the Dualplex 360 case file. This is another case arising out of Colossal’s subsidiary, NBD, but involving potential consumer claims against the company. This is a serious and time-sensitive situation, and I need your team to address the following questions:
- Given what is happening with the Dualplex 360, list the types of claims that the US customers could file in court against NBD and the arguments they might make for each element of their claims.
- What types of damages could be awarded under any of the claims listed in your response to the previous question?
- What defenses might NBD have for each claim? How likely is it that NBD will win each claim?
To address these issues, begin by reading about tort damages and negligence and products liability. These resources are a great introduction, but you may need to do some additional research on the internet and in the library to answer the questions in full. We are counting on your expertise, insights, and deep research on this one.
Thanks team,
Janet

- Support your conclusion with references to legal principles and laws.
