Question:

Summary: There needs to be a summary of the major points, conclusions, and recommendations. It needs to be short as it is a general overview of the report. Some people will read the summary and only skim the report, so make sure you include all the relevant information.


Introduction: The first page of the report needs to have an introduction. You will explain the
problem and show the reader why the report is being made. You need to give a definition of terms
if you did not include these in the title section and explain how the details of the report are
arranged.


Body: This is the main section of the report and contains your analysis. There needs to be several
sections, with each having a subtitle. This is where you use IRAC


Main Conclusion: This is where everything comes together. Keep this section free of jargon as
most people will read the Summary and Conclusion.


Recommendations: This is what needs to be done. In plain English, explain your
recommendations, putting them in order of priority.


Bibliography: here you put all acts and case law you have referred to in your report. You should
also list any journal articles; government reports you have referenced and any other source

Background

You are a graduate working for No Escape Rooms Pty Ltd ('No Escape Rooms') where you are a business consultant. No Escape Rooms is an Australian company that provides experiences in the form of rooms where participants are confined to a room that they must try to escape by discovering hidden clues and solving a series of riddles or puzzles. No Escape Rooms operate out of two (2) different locations in Melbourne, Victoria.

In your interview for the graduate position, you highlighted your knowledge of business law that you acquired through your business degree that you undertook at RMIT University. No Escape Rooms is a small company and is trying to save costs by not engaging a lawyer until it cannot be avoided. No Escape Rooms would therefore very much like to benefit from your legal knowledge of business law before engaging a lawyer.

Dear Graduate,

Potential Civil Action: Incident at Escape Room locations

We have had several incidents at one of our Escape rooms located in Melbourne at 1000 Mission Street in Brunswick.

I am away on leave next week. In my absence, please review the enclosed materials and draft a report containing your critical legal analysis in response to the following questions:

Which legal issues under civil law do the following materials present to our business and employees?

If we (including employees), or the opposing side, commence legal proceedings, are we/ they likely to get access to remedies?

Might we (including employees) and/ or the other side be able to rely on any defenses?

Please provide legal reasoning to substantiate your answers, refer to case law and/ or legislation

We will use your advice to help us to decide whether to engage a solicitor or not.

I need this back no later than Thursday 7 September 2023, so that I have enough time to engage a lawyer if needed.

If you have any questions or need further information to finish this analysis, please simply include this in your report - I will not be available to answer these while I am away.

If any other relevant information comes through while I'm away, I'll forward it to you.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Etta Jamerson
