Dispute Settlement case
Not what you're looking for?
Case 3-7 Shell v. R. W. Sturge, Ltd. I need to brief this case.
I have a guideline that I use but I need some guidance. I am trying to write a brief for a group of people that know nothing about the law but they need to make a business decision for their company base on my brief.
I started with the name of the case.
Tribunal- I quoted who decided the case but I had problem understanding rather to use the US sixth circuit cout of appeals or the other courts mention.
Parties- I tell who the plaintiffs are, but I need to explain their relationship.
Issues- I am trying to understand the issue statements that are relevant facts and legal elements at the heart of the dispute.
Facts- I was trying to tell the story of the parties and how they got into the legal dispute. I really need some pointers on this one.
Rule- I am not quite sure what the rule of law that the court applies to answer the question posed by the issue.
Holding - I need some pointers onstating the tribunal's answer to the legal question posed by the issue.
Reasoning- How would you break down the court logic into each step that the court took to answer the question. How the court applied the elements of the law.
Judgement- At this point, I am to describe what action the tribunal took as a result of holding it reached on the issue put to it.
Observation- Here I needed to reflect on what this case teaches.
