Question 2

Contracts by Minors. Sergei Samsonov is a Russian and one of the top hockey players in the world. When Samsonov was seventeen years old, he signed a contract to play hockey for two seasons with the Central Sports Army Club, a Russian club known by the abbreviation CSKA. Before the start of the second season, Samsonov learned that because of a dispute between CSKA coaches, he would not be playing in Russia's premier hockey league. Samsonov hired Athletes and Artists, Inc (A&A), an American sports agency, to make a deal with a U.S. hockey team. Samsonov signed a contract to play for the Detroit Vipers (whose corporate name was, at the time, Arena Associates, Inc). Neither A&A nor Arena knew about the CSKA contract. CSKA filed a suit in a federal district court against Arena and others, alleging, among other things, wrongful interference with a contractual relationship. What effect will Samsonov's age have on the outcome of this suit?

Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Contracts by minors
On this issue, the court ruled in favor of the defendants. The court reasoned that because Samsonov signed the CSKA contract before he turned eighteen years old, the agreement is voidable.    There is no liability for interference with such an agreement absent employment of wrongful means, unlawful restraint of trade, or lack of competitive motive. There was no evidence the defendants acted with  'wrongful means' or without justification. Indeed, nothing shows that these defendants acted in an unlawful, unethical, unfair, dishonest, or fraudulent manner. Rather, all their actions were undertaken with the justifiable business motive of securing a business assetin this case, a star hockey player. Specifically, the evidence does not suggest that    A&A surreptitiously sought to steal the Russian athlete from the CSKA, but shows that they acted only after Samsonov    engaged their agency with intent to enter the American hockey world. Similarly, Arena and the Vipers did not engage in any improper conduct when signing Samsonov, but understood that he was free from other obligations.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
