Question 1

The Issues in The Case

The case incorporates parties that are said to have influenced the contemporary issues. The Quick Mart Stores Precise feels offended by Quick Mart Stores for the delay in the delivery of the code delivery, on the contract policies. Particularly, the corporation suffers a loss of approximately 500, 000 dollars. As such, the contentious issue is whether Quick Mart Stores deserves to get damage recovery from Retail Outlets.

Facts

The Precise Engineering Corporation is into a contract with Quick Mart to develop customized software. Unfortunately, a competitor, Retail Outlets Inc. influences the subcontractor to delay the code. That means that Retailer outlet acted in an illegal way by influencing the subcontractor to delay the delivery of the code leading to the loss of $500, 000 profits.    

Law

According to the Law of Contract, it is necessary for one to act in full transparency and cover the interests of the company they are serving. Therefore, a different company that seeks to employ or offer an opportunity to subcontract an employee at a competitor firm is due to answer to legal suits against it. Arguably, the law provides that it is illegal and inappropriate for any company to use an employee to infringe the interests of the competitor firm (Collins, 2003).      

Conclusion

It is feasible for the Quick Mart Stores to recover the lost profit. Particularly, the company has the grounds to sue Retail Outlets Inc. for influencing a contracted party to act against the interest of the company in malice. It is inappropriate for the company to subcontract an individual who is already contracted to work for another company. Therefore, the unethical practice can result in suing making it possible to recover the lost profits.
