Document Summary

In-class assignment answers: amanda believes that she was denied a job because of her religion. Can she sue the employer for discrimination in a common law court. You cannot sue someone for discrimination under common law because there are no contracts between the two parties. Torts are common law and are made by judges. Negligent misrepresentation is done unintentionally but fraudulent misrepresentation is done intentionally to cause harm to someone. She is hired, but one year later the employer learns of the dishonesty. The employer fires may with no notice, asserting dishonesty as the reason. This case falls under the employment contract law and that is part of common law. However, if the dishonesty was significant, the employer could have fired her without a reasonable notice because of fraudulent misrepresentation. (cid:1008). The two parties involved in a contract owe each other a duty of care in regards of their actions. (cid:1009).
