An independent cоntrаctоr frоm Stаte A hаd a contract with a moving company from State B to develop a mobile phone app that would allow the company’s customers to reserve and book a move. The contractor immediately began work on the app, devoting at least half of her workday to the app. On March 2, the moving company decided that the app would not increase business that much, so it told the contractor to stop work and further refused to pay the contractor for the time she already spent on the app. The contractor claims that she would have billed the moving company $76,000 for the work she has done so far. Coincidentally, on March 15, the contractor was injured when one of the moving company’s trucks rear-ended her while she was stopped at a red light, causing the contractor considerable damages. As a result of the accident, the contractor suffered $25,000 in damages. On March 1 of the following year, the contractor properly filed a diversity action for breach of contract, and the moving company was served one week later. On March 20, before the moving company responded to the complaint, the contractor amended her complaint to add a cause of action for the tort claim. The applicable statutes of limitation for contract claims and tort claims are both one year. If the moving company moves to dismiss the tort claim, should the court grant the motion?
A nаtiоnаl retаil pharmacy chain frоm State A filed a breach оf contract action for $5 million against a pharmaceutical manufacturer from State B in federal district court. The pharmacy chain alleges that it had a contract with the manufacturer under which the manufacturer agreed to sell to the pharmacy chain a specified number of aspirin at a specified price. The manufacturer alleges that the parties had negotiated a possible sale but never reached an agreement. The manufacturer thus denies the existence of a contract. The pharmacy chain spent considerable time and money retrieving emails from its server between it and the manufacturer about the alleged contract. The pharmacy chain intends to use the emails as evidence to support its claim that the two companies had contracted for the aspirin. The retrieved emails currently are saved on a computer hard drive at the pharmacy chain’s corporate headquarters. To what extent may the manufacturer obtain discovery regarding the emails?

The pоlice chief оf а lаrge city discоvered thаt a notorious arsonist was currently living there. Although the arsonist was famous for her crimes, she had always been acquitted when brought to trial. The police chief was retiring soon and wanted to be the one who finally brought the arsonist to justice. To try to catch her in the act of arson, the police chief went undercover and approached the arsonist with an offer. The chief told the arsonist that he knew who she was and that he had been offered a large sum of money to burn down a business and make it look like an accident. He told the arsonist that he needed her expertise and that he would give her half the money if she agreed to help him. The arsonist initially told the chief that she was retired from her life of crime; however, after the chief offered her more money, she finally agreed to help him. As the time for the arson drew near, the arsonist had second thoughts. The morning before the arson was scheduled to take place, the arsonist went to a police station and told the officers of the plan. She told them that her colleague (the undercover police chief) would be at the business at a particular time with fire-starting materials. Is the arsonist guilty of conspiracy at common law?
