Luna is an employee for a communications service’s provider (internet, television, telephone, etc.) and makes in-house visits to troubleshoot technical problems. Luna is a very capable and friendly worker who tends to receive excellent reviews from her supervisors and customers.  One customer, Oliver, experienced many problems and continually calls on Luna for help. Whenever Luna visits Oliver’s home, he makes crude jokes and makes sexual propositions towards her. The company Luna works for has guidelines against such behavior in the workplace. Luna tells her employer that she no longer wants to visit Oliver’s home. However, Luna’s employer tells her that Oliver is a loyal customer, that he always requests her, and that it is her job. When Luna begrudgingly makes another visit to Oliver, he makes aggressive, physical advances towards her (i.e., squeezing her buttocks and trying to kiss her). Luna becomes emotionally distraught and quits her job. Is the company liable to Luna for sexual harassment?

Jac is a demolition expert who loves emptying stadiums. Not only is he a specialist in setting the dynamite off, but he is also an expert at delivering it (like a true two-way master). He’s so well-recognized in his profession this year that he’s in consideration for the Golden Dynamite award (which is the profession’s most coveted trophy). In the course of his duties, he is often required to draw up potential contracts with customers who are in need of an effective demolition job. His most recent job involved an offer to contract to destroy a particularly nasty building known simply as “The Box.” In a sober and otherwise unimpaired state of mind, Jac contracted with another sober/unimpaired adult (capable of making the decision) to destroy The Box on a Friday night. Jac was furnished with contracting fees of $1.4M for the job and was mutually aware of the terms with the contracting party. Jac formally accepted the job before its inception and notified the contracting party via email. Unbeknown to Jac is that Louisiana state law (where The Box is located) forbids demolitions from being performed on Fridays, instead allowing only Saturdays and Sundays. If Jac were to carry out the contract based on the originally agreed upon terms, the contract would most likely be characterized as which of the following?
