Assignment: What types of legal claims could Patty make against Cash Mart and Geoffrey?

Notes:

Introduction
In this assignment, you’ll need to decide whether Paula Plaintiff has any legal claims arising from a series of unfortunate events. After reading the scenario, answer the questions that follow, making sure to fully explain the basis of your decision.

Paula Plaintiff is shopping at her favorite store, Cash Mart. She is looking for a new laptop, but she can’t find one she likes. Then, realizing that she is going to be late for an appointment, she attempts to leave the store, walking very fast. However, before she can leave, she is stopped by a security guard who accuses her of shoplifting. Paula, who has taken nothing, denies any wrong doing. The officer insists and takes Paula to a small room in the back of the store. The guard tells Paula that if she attempts to leave the room she will be arrested and sent to jail. At this point, the guard leaves the room. Paula is scared and waits in the room for over an hour until the manager comes in and apologizes and tells Paula that she is free to go.

About this same time, Geoffrey Golfer is hitting golf balls in his backyard. Geoffrey decides to break out his new driver and hits a golf ball out of his backyard into the Cash Mart parking lot. The golf ball hits Paula Plaintiff on the head and knocks her unconscious just as she is leaving the store.

Instructions

What are the possible tort claims that Paula can make against Cash Mart? Discuss the elements of the claim and how those elements relate to the facts in the scenario.
Was Geoffrey negligent when he hit the golf ball that injured Paula? Discuss the elements of negligence and use facts from the scenario to support your decision.
If Paula files a negligence claim against Geoffrey will she file in civil court or criminal court? Explain the difference between civil court and criminal court.

First level CS, should not be too complex. Need in a week.

You must turn in three java files - FoodItem.java, Order.java and MyOrder.java. In addition to these, you must include a screenshot of the output by executing the file MyOrder.java. Submissions without all these files will not be graded.

Task 1:

Design a class named FoodItem which contains the following fields:

Type of food item: Like entree, bread, soup, salad, drink or dessert to name a few

Item number: could be an alphanumeric code or just a number

Unit price: $xx.xx

You must include appropriate instance methods like constructors, getters , setters and toString for all the fields.

Task 2:

Create another class named Order which has the following fields:

Order number: It could be an alphanumeric id or numeric.

Customer Name: First and last name of the customer

Combo meal option: yes or no

DiscountAmount: If combo meal is chosen, offer a 5% discount

OrderTotal: Total bill amount

You must create the following methods for the Order class:

Constructor (s) - You may include an extra constructor that takes in the Customer name as a parameter.

Setters, getters and toString methods for the appropriate fields.

add(item,quantity) - this method adds the price of purchasing an item to the Order total.

getOrderTotal() - this method returns the total bill amount to be paid by the customer after including any discounts applicable and also a 10% sales tax on the total amount.

Task 3:

Create a class named MyOrder that displays a Menu of items available to choose from, creates an order for two different customers and reports their total bill amount. Use appropriate print statements to guide the user through the ordering process. Remember, this is the class where you are actually placing an order (action required). So, this class must contain the main method.
