Bruce Levin, Customer Relations Manager, for Baron Art Mart, Inc. (“Baron”), was in a quandary. He pondered over a memo from Jimmie Lee, Loss Prevention Manager at Baron, (Exhibit 1) and a letter addressed to him from Susan Kim, a customer, (Exhibit 2). What appeared to have been a routine shoplifting incident on the part of Mrs. Kim turned out to lack evidence. To make matters worse, the suspect was injured during apprehension. It appeared that Baron faced the possibility of a lawsui t because of the incident. Donald West, Chief Administrator, had asked Mr. Levin to assess the legal and financial consequences of the case, make recommendations, and report back to him.
Baron is a large stationery and drawing supplies retailer with approximately 50 stores located throughout the State of Green. The firm has been established for many years, making steady, if unspectacular profits.
Suppose you are Bruce Levin. You have just confirmed that, for all practical purposes, Mrs. Kim will be unable to work at all during the next ten years, including all of 2006. Write a report, addressed to Donald West , Chief Administrator of Baron. Be sure to follow the guidelines for writing a report found in the Gateway Web Site.
To prepare for this case, you may want to review business law LDC concepts 2 and 9, financial accounting LDC concept 7, macroeconomics LDC concept 1, and statistics LDC concepts 1, 4, and 8.
