Problem
The CEO of the company invites all new employees to a meeting during their first few months on the job. While you are at that meeting, your manager introduces you to the CEO. When the CEO asks you which courses you took at Seneca College, you happen to mention that one of your courses was a hospitality management law course.
The CEO shares with you that she is concerned about the number of lawsuits that have been filed against the company over the past year. When you ask about what kind of lawsuits have been filed, she says that there have been a number of negligence cases that she finds very concerning. She is very interested in your opinion, and asks if you would take on a brief assignment to help her. You enthusiastically agree to help. Later that day, she texts you the following questions and request:
It was wonderful meeting you today. Thank you for agreeing to help me and take on this assignment. Here is my assignment for you.
Write me a letter addressing the following:
A. What do you think are the top 3 causes of negligence cases in the hospitality sector? Be sure to include a short description of what the cause means/what it is and explain why it is important from a legal perspective.
B. For each cause, identify the top 2 actions you recommend that I take to reduce the risk of future negligence cases in our company. (In other words, give 2 actions for each negligence cause and therefore 6 actions in total.) Be sure to explain why each action is important.
C. Tell me about the most important legal concept you learned about in your course. Explain the concept to me and tell me why you find the concept so important.
