Company Maroon Ltd.
Task Description:
You are required to review the scenario provided and write a report of 2,000 words. The arguments or positions you make must be supported by valid legal references. Such references may include legislation, case law and/or general legal principles from varied sources.
Scenario:
You are the CEO of a public company Maroon Ltd (Maroon) that is based in Queensland. Maroon is a manufacturer of rugby footballs.
Recently, you fielded an enquiry from a Norwegian company Norsk ASA (Norsk) that indicated an interest in purchasing 250,000 footballs.
You are very excited as this potential order would be the biggest single order in the short history of Maroon.
Further correspondence was entered into between both parties which eventuated in a formal offer being proposed. Whilst you are happy with the terms of the offer, you are aware that there are significant issues to take into consideration when contracting with a company from an international jurisdiction.
You decide to prepare a report for the Board of Directors of Maroon in which you address legal and contractual issues that need to be considered in this situation. Of particular concern for you is the fact that Maroon has never had to ship an order overseas before.
