A wоrker whо missed his ride hоme becаuse he wаs working lаte walked across the street to a tavern to get a drink. He chatted with a patron of the tavern and discovered that he lived only a short distance from the patron. The patron offered to give the worker a ride home. Although he knew the patron was probably too drunk to drive, the worker reluctantly agreed. On the way home, the patron, driving in a dangerous manner, was involved in a collision with another car, whose driver was also driving negligently, and the worker was injured. If the worker sues the patron to recover for his injuries and the above facts are established at trial, will the worker’s recovery be reduced?
A distributоr оf textbоoks аnd а college bookstore entered into а written contract stating that the distributor would sell 100 copies of a popular textbook to the bookstore for $50 each, to be delivered no later than August 1, so that the books would be available for resale to students during the fall semester. The bookstore chose to order from this distributor because its price for the textbook was lower than that of other distributors. Shortly after the bookstore placed its order, the distributor raised its prices due to a sudden surge in popularity of that book. Because the distributor did not have enough textbooks to accommodate all of the different schools using that book, it decided to deliver textbooks only to those buyers who had ordered them at the increased price. The distributor notified the bookstore that it would not deliver the textbooks it ordered. The bookstore filed an action to force the distributor to deliver the textbooks at the agreed-upon price. Will the court compel the distributor to deliver the textbooks to the bookstore?
