BCL – Nov 2024 – L1 – Q4a – Agency of Necessity

Legal implications of an agent acting in necessity during a curfew.

Ozoozo is a cargo driving agent of Oforiwa, a trader. Ozoozo loaded a truck of yam from Kutunada for delivery to Oforiwa in Accra. In the course of the journey and at Butako township, a curfew was imposed as a result of chieftaincy issues in the traditional area. He tried to communicate with Oforiwa but he was unable to do so due to network challenges. Ozoozo found it useful to off-load the cargo of yam and dispose of it by sale. He accounted for the sale but Oforiwa became furious.

Required:
Advise Oforiwa.

Advise KMS and Stella on the legal implications of Stella's actions.

Stella works as a sales girl for Kampus Multipurpose Stores (KMS), operated by Lucas on the University Campus. Recently, Lucas discovered that whenever he was not around, Stella would pack Lucas’ wares off the shelves and display her own wares on the shelves. Thus, Stella used her employer’s time, resources and facilities to sell her own wares in place of her employer’s. The financial books of KMS were audited last month and the audit revealed that on some occasions, Stella sold her employer’s wares at a higher rate than that recommended and she pocketed the difference. Required: Advise the following parties on the legal implications of their actions: (i) KMS (5 Marks) (ii) Stella (6 Marks)
