1: Documentary film

Order Description

write a research essay of five pages in length. In your
answer, consider the central arguments or goals of the documentaries you are analyzing, and
draw on course terminology and concepts, as well as your research materials. Your opening
paragraph should include the title of the works you are analyzing, the year of their release, and a
simple thesis that organizes your work. You may select any documentary listed on the course
syllabus with the exception of The Office, as it is a television work. Most course films are
available online or in the library, but feel free to contact me if you are having trouble accessing
any of them. You may also, if you choose, select one documentary, out of each question’s
required two, from outside the course. However, if you do so you must check with me prior to
writing your essay to make sure your selected documentary fits the requirements of the
assignment. Doing so will help you avoid including certain types of documentaries, primarily
those from other media, that do not meet the specifications of our course. Essays including noncourse
films that have not been cleared with me first cannot be accepted.
This is not a movie review or a plot summary, it is a research essay. This assignment tests your
ability independently to conduct research relating to the interests of the course with a focus on
scholarly and critical sources (including professional, print journalism). Library research and reviewing
of select films will be necessary. A properly formatted bibliography with no fewer than
five entries from outside of the course readings is required to demonstrate your research. The
various “works cited” sections of the course readings will provide you with a solid starting point
for scholarly work addressing the various subject areas. Acceptable citation guidelines are to be
found in the Modern Languages Association Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (available
online, in the library, and in most new and used bookstores). With the exception of scholarly and
refereed journals available online (and through library-endorsed online databases; i.e. ProQuest,
International Index to Film Periodicals) internet sources are not acceptable (i.e. Wikipedia,
IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes).
The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) provides valuable assistance for conducting research and
offers resources to ensure you properly cite your work — https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/

2:UTS Property Transactions

Rami, an impatient ballet dancer, impulsively decides to sell his house and move to NYC with his girlfriend Dawn. He immediately calls Dominic, his lawyer. After expressing a desire to assist, Dominic informs Rami that a Contract for the Sale of Land with prescribed attachments will need to be prepared before the property can be advertised, and that one of the prescribed attachments (the s 149 Certificate) can take up to 10 days after order before it is produced by Council.
The news of having to wait is not met well by Rami who, in a typically dramatic fashion, thereafter calls his real estate agent brother Shalom and demands that Shalom list the property on the agency website, and post an ad in the agency window. Rami tells Shalom to write “recently valued at $900k” in the advert. Rami fails to tell Shalom that the ‘valuation’ was not done by a qualified valuer, but is rather Rami’s own estimate valuation. Shalom runs the advertising as instructed.
A passerby, Fahd, sees the advert, and makes an enquiry with Shalom about the property. Fahd puts forward a verbal offer of $700k. When Shalom runs this offer by Rami, Rami reacts angrily, but is soon told by his girlfriend Dawn to accept the offer.
Shalom tells Fahd about the procedure with cooling-off. Fahd puts down a holding deposit of 0.25% and then the balance of 9.75% three days later. Being a ‘cash purchaser’, Fahd does not require finance, but decides to have the property valued to assist with future borrowings.
When the valuation comes in 10 days later, the property is only said to be worth $600k.
Fahd attends your office and asks for advice on the following:
i.) Is there a valid contract in place? (10 marks)
ii.) Assuming there is not, what claim(s) does Fahd have to a refund of his 10% deposit? (5 marks)
iii.) Assuming there is a contract, what claim(s) does Fahd have to:
a. Rescind the contract (at common law and at a statutory level)? (10 marks)
b. Sue for damages under the common law of tort (and what would be the quantum?) (5 marks)
c. Sue for damages under the common law of contract (and what would be the quantum for each?) (5 marks)
iv.) Have Rami and/or Shalom contravened any penalty provisions under the Conveyancing Act 1919 and/or the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 (NSW)? (5 marks)
Note the following:
1.) Assume the property is Torrens Title land and is ‘residential property’ within the meaning of the Conveyancing Act 1919.
2.) Whilst you should indicate an overall position with your answer, you will be marked on your skills of argument and reasoning, particularly in regard to questions (i), (iii)(a) and (iii)(b). This means that you will have to acknowledge weaknesses in your argument.
