The consequences of mis-cuffing is exemplified by the case of a woman admitted to hospital, where the BP was recorded as 180/112 . Treatment reduced the BP, but led to headache, dizziness and nausea.

  • P. L. 86-272 Case Study

    404 Words  | 2 Pages

    We’ll start with the use of sales representatives and how this relates to potential tax liability. P.L. 86-272 allows the use of sales representatives relating to interstate commerce without generating any net income tax related to tangible personal property within certain restrictions. For the sale to be protected under P.L. 86-272, the work of the sales representatives must be limited to solicitation- a mere “implicit invitation to an order” or “activities that are entirely ancillary to request for an order”. In Wisconsin Department of Revenue V. William Wrigley Jr. Co., the United States Supreme Court emphasized the nature of activities that would be considered ancillary under P.L. 86-272, “Solicitation of orders covers only the actual requests for purchases, or, at most, the actions absolutely essential to making those requests”. The operations of your sales force seem to be following this model where 1) they do not have the authority to accept any orders, and 2) they send the orders back to Ely, MN for them to be accepted and shipped.

    I agree that Crone was definitely attempting to harm Forman’s reputation. I believe this to be true based on the fact that he waited until Forman was asleep when he took pictures of her partially nude. The intent was to get back at her by humiliating her, in her most vulnerable state, nude, drunk, and asleep. Moreover, Forman was unaware that the pictures had been taken, let alone blown up and placed on fliers and shown to a few folks. Crone was very much intentional in his actions to cause harm to Forman through the use of the illicit pictures that had been taken unbeknownst to Forman.
