ESSAY
As background see text What is compliance? Pages xvi-xviii
Your text states at page xviii, The first step in compliance clearly involves identifying the laws
that apply to the business, the regulators who have jurisdiction in specific areas, the risks the
business faces and legal issues that may arise. And it is not just a matter of putting together a
one-off compliance program. Regular reviews, tracking changes to the law and ongoing
effective education of staff about their legal obligations is essential for legal compliance and
building a culture of compliance.

You and your family run a seafood restaurant in Sydney and you now wish to call it the Great
Catch!
Using the topics from Week 6 (Property Law), Week 7 (Sale of Goods and Consumer Protection)
and Week 8 (Intellectual Property) complete a research essay setting out the key areas of law
and compliance in Australia that would be highly significant to your particular business
operations for this business. You would need to consider chapters 18, 19, 23, 24 and 28 of
the text.

PROBLEM QUESTION
Manny and Bella are married and since 2008 they have run a pizza business in the city. They
call the business Perfect Domino Pizza.

They visit the showroom of Tuscan Ovens Pty. Ltd to buy a new pizza oven for their business.
They tell Tuscans manager that they must have a heavy duty which will cook at least 30
pizzas every hour for 16 continuous hours every day. Manny tells the manager that such an
oven is required otherwise I will lose customers at the peak hours. The manager assures
Manny and Bella that the new Tuscan XX commercial oven will satisfy their requirements.

As a result of the managers statements and recommendations, Manny and Bella purchase the
oven for $15,000.

While they are waiting for the delivery of the new pizza oven Manny and Bella advertise the
new oven for their restaurant but they decide to refer to it as the MB Oven and not mention
the real registered name, Tuscan XX.

Soon after the new oven is installed, they discover that it can only cook 12 pizzas per hour and
is unreliable. Due to these problems the pizza business is losing money. Tuscan will not discuss
any complaints from Manny and Bella.

Discuss the different areas of law from topics in Week 6, 7 and 8 that emerge from these facts.
Be sure to explain who may take legal action and what remedies and penalties could be
applied. Cases and statutes should be used. Chapters 18, 19, 23, 24 and 28 should be
considered.

and will be fully referenced including a reference list.
The work must be fully referenced with in-text citations and a reference list at the end.
We strongly recommend you to refer to the Academic Learning Skills materials available in
the Moodle. For details please click the link http://online.kent.edu.au/cms/course/view.php?

writing and referencing are inevitable academic skils that you must develop and
demonstrate.

lecturer. Unless specifically instructed otherwise by your lecturer, any paper with less than
FIVE references may be failed. Work that includes sources that are not properly referenced
according to the Harvard Referencing Workbook will be penalised.

go over or under by 10% than the stated length.

See Assessment Marking Guide in course profile.

General Notes for Referencing

High quality work must be fully referenced with in-text citations and a reference list at the
end. We recommend you work with your Academic Learning Skills site
(http://online.kent.edu.au/cms/course/view.php?id=437) available in Moodle to ensure that you
reference correctly.
References are assessed for their quality. You should draw on quality academic sources,
such as books, chapters from edited books, journals etc. Your textbook can be used as a
reference, but not the lecturer notes. We want to see evidence that you are capable of
conducting your own research. Also, in order to help markers determine students
understanding of the work they cite, all in-text references (not just direct quotes) must
include the specific page number/s if shown in the original. Before preparing your
assignment or own contribution, please review this YouTube video by clicking on the
following link: Plagiarism: How to avoid it You can search for peer-reviewed journal
articles, which you can find in the online journal databases and which can be accessed from
the library homepage. Wikipedia, online dictionaries and online encyclopedias are
acceptable as a starting point to gain knowledge about a topic, but should not be
overused these should constitute no more than 10% of your total list of
references/sources. Additional information and literature can be used where these are
produced by legitimate sources, such as government departments, research institutes such
as the NHMRC, or international organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Legitimate organisations and government departments produce peer reviewed reports and
articles and are therefore very useful and mostly very current. The content of the following
link explains why it is not acceptable to use non-peer reviewed websites: Why can't I just
Google? (thanks to La Trobe University for this video).
