Evaluation

 

The grade for the assignment will be calculated as follows:

 

Project Submission (30%):

 

·       80% grade for the answers to the problems. Each question has different
requirements. Generally, answers must:

o   Satisfy the requirements of the questions.

o   Where required, accurately state the law or principle.

o   Provide thorough analyses and explanations.

Each of the problems has a designated number of marks available and a
maximum word count.  The maximum word
count is not a required word count. Some problems have specific questions that require
answers. Other problems require an IRAC (Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion)
analysis. Instructions on how to complete an IRAC analysis will be provided
separately.

 

You will need to do external research for some of the questions.  If case law or legislative research is
required, it will be noted in the question. 
Otherwise, the text, lectures, other secondary sources, information on
government websites and articles should be used.

 

 

Submission

 

One submission for the group must be made to the dropboxes provided on
Moodle by the due date. The submission must be in Word, double-spaced, and 12-point
font on letter-sized paper.  APA style
citations and a reference list are required. Please do not use the size A4 page.

 

 

Hints and Tips

 

·      
Please
pay close attention to what the question asks of you and answer it. Also, pay
attention to the instructions. If the question does not indicate that you need
to do additional research to answer the question, you should be able to answer
the question using course materials (i.e., the text and lectures).

• Use headings. This helps the
  reader understand the organization and flow of the paper.
• There is rarely, if ever, a need
  to use an exclamation point in academic writing. Do not do it.

ASSIGNMENT

Introduction:

 

Mark is a senior software engineer at a
video game design company based in Vancouver, B.C.  The company, DigiPlay (DP), is very
successful with numerous popular titles and services.  Over the last few years, its growth strategy
has shifted to a service model rather than reliance on titles. DP’s head office
is in Vancouver, and it has offices and development campuses globally.

 

Mark has a Master of Science degree from
UBC.  He has been working at DP since he
graduated from the UBC program eight years ago. He received a work experience
opportunity while in the MSc program and was offered a position after
graduation.  DP is a good company to work
for. It pays very well and has many perks, including stock options, education opportunities,
and progressive leave arrangements. Mark has done very well at the company, has
always received glowing performance reviews, and now manages a team of five
engineers.

 

 

Part B

 

Problem 3:
One day, Mark gets a call on his cell from a human resource manager at a game
development firm in California. A former colleague, Philip, has given his name
as a reference for a new job.  Philip was
a software engineer at DP for ten years before quitting last year to take a
break and travel for six months. While everyone liked Philip, after he left DP,
rumours circulated that Philip had breached confidentiality agreements and
given trade secrets to a competitor. 
Unfortunately, Mark forgets that DP has a corporate policy that only direct
supervisors can provide references.  He
tells the human resource manager the following:

“I liked working with Philip. He was a
great engineer and always met deadlines. He did good work. However, after he
left the company, we found out that he was dishonest. He gave some code to a
competitor. He probably got paid for it.”

 

Three weeks later, DP and Mark get a letter
from Philip’s lawyer.  The letter alleges
that Mark’s statements to the HR manager were defamatory. Philip threatens to
sue Mark and DP for $5,000,000 because he did not get the job and has lost out
on all the benefits, including stock options, because of Mark’s statement. 

 

Using the IRAC (Issue, Rule, Application,
Conclusion) method, analyze the liability of both Mark and DP.  Include an analysis of any applicable
defences. In your analysis, include at least one case from BC or another
Canadian jurisdiction that deals with defamation committed by an employee.

 

(25 marks; Max 1500 words)

 

 

Problem 4:
Unfortunately, DP did not take any of the steps Katie recommended in her report
under Problem 2.  Four months after DP
became aware of the weakness in their software, they had a significant security
breach.  Hackers obtained the personal
information of millions of customers worldwide. 
Users quickly noticed that thieves were using their credit card numbers,
and a public website was discovered that listed all of the users’ private
information.

 

Within two weeks of customers becoming
aware of the breach, a class-action lawsuit was filed against DP in Vancouver.
The representative plaintiff was claiming, among other things, negligence. 

 

Using the IRAC (Issue, Rule, Application,
Conclusion) method, analyze DP’s liability in negligence. 

 

HINT: You do not need to discuss privacy-related
torts or legislation. Discuss negligence only.
