Van Breda booked the trip utilizing the website of Sport au Soleil, an Ontario-based travel agency. Club Resort employed Canadian professionals and tour operators, including Sport au Soleil, for advertising, promotion and bookings. Van Breda sued Sport au Soleil and Club Resort in Ontario for negligence. Club Resort sought to have the litigation dismissed on the basis that Cuba was a more appropriate forum. Does Canada or Cuba have a more substantial connection to this litigation? Was Ontario a more appropriate forum for van Breda\u2019s lawsuit? Why or why not? [Club Resorts v. Van Breda, 2012 SCC 17 (Supreme Court of Canada 2012).]In an interview published by The New York Times in February 1976, former Lockheed President A. Carl Kotchian defended the payment of bribes by the company as follows:\u201cSome call it gratuities. Some call them questionable payments. Some call it extortion. Some call it grease. Some call it bribery. I look at these payments as necessary to sell a product. I never felt I was doing anything wrong.\u201dMore than 30 years later, Reinhard Siekaczek, an accountant employed by Siemens who oversaw an annual budget for questionable payments in excess of $50 million, stated:\u201cI never thought I would go to jail for my company. \u2026We thought we had to do it. Otherwise, we would ruin the company. \u2026People will only say about Siemens that they were unlucky and that they broke the Eleventh Commandment. The Eleventh Commandment is, \u2018Don\u2019t get caught.\u2019\u201dYou have been hired to assist ABC Multinational Company to help educate employees on ethical practices and corporate culture.
