Manpreet Kaur Sandhu, owner of SpiritAway Spa and Salon, arrived at her desk at 10:30 in the morning. She smiled at the thought of her successful business that was launched only two years ago. SpiritAway Spa was a thriving business in a growing industry. Because of her business' reputation, she currently employs 15 hair stylists and aestheticians. SpiritAway, was clearly contributing to the local economy. Manpreet Kaur Sandhu had just received her financial analysis from her accountant that morning. By providing a quiet, high-end haven and top notch customer service, SpiritAway saw a 20% increase from the previous year. It was exciting times indeed! Manpreet Kaur Sandhu's attention is suddenly drawn to a dreadful noise coming from outside her tranquil establishment. The sound of dogs barking repeatedly reverberates throughout the Spa, even though the windows are shut, and the ventilation system is on. Manpreet Kaur Sandhu had never heard dogs barking before anywhere near her building. She soon hears a series of knocks on her office door. Several of her staff enter with concerned faces and have indicated that the dogs have been barking since early morning. They can see the three junkyard-type dogs in a fenced-in area next door to the Spa. Manpreet Kaur Sandhu contacts the owner of the building. The owner indicated that his tenant, owner of a new recording studio, owned the dogs for added security in the newly renovated building with noise canceling walls. Manpreet Kaur Sandhu voiced her complaint that the dogs barking continuously through the workday are driving her clients away. The owner of the building said he didn't have to comply with Manpreet Kaur Sandhu's request as there were no municipal by-laws in that area of town regarding noise. What is the wrong in this case? What would you advise Manpreet Kaur Sandhu to do? 2. Heera Devi bought a frozen pizza at the grocery store and baked it in her oven.
