Email Policy Restrictions

Respond to the following prompts:

Identify the employer's policy at issue.

A policy that prohibited the use of corporate email for personal/non-business purposes (Law Memo, 2017)

• If indeed the contract is accepted and Cane was not aware of the death first, the sale would typically be binding. The caveat, of course, is whether or not Bill could prove that the offer was made, that he accepted it and/or that he did so WITHOUT knowing that Cane was dead before acceptance. Indeed, so long as Bill could prove the first two and the estate of Cane, if they felt inclined, tried to disprove the latter, the sale would be upheld, up to and including with the estate and other proceedings after Cane's death. Bill would just have to file against the estate, of course offering proof of the correspondence including a timeline….....
