    The damages caused to Aaron’s new car cannot be excluded as it was not part of his premises [McCutcheon v David MacBrayne (1964)]. The claim for damages caused to his premises has to rely upon whether the clause was being incorporated in a fair and reasonable way (George Mitchell v Finney Lock Seeds [1983]). The court may consider the bargaining position of both parties. Aaron and EFG were deemed to have equal bargaining power since both of them were in business. However, Aaron may have more bargaining power since he hired the equipment as a consumer, not in the course of business.

A business in Newport Beach, California received this mailing and the owner and his mother notified the police of its content, Miller was arrested and subsequently convicted for violating a state statute that prohibited the distribution of obscene material; Miller appealed claiming the materials were protected under the First Amendment’s right to free speech (Elias, et al., 1999). The 1973 decision handed down by the Supreme Court in Miller v. California, defined the scope of First Amendment protections and introduced specific qualifications to determine obscene materials.
