A group of music lovers in a large urban area incorporate a company, Mozart Holdings Ltd., in order to purchase land and build a music hall that they claim will be “a glittering jewel in the cultural crown” of the city.
The corporation selects an architectural firm that will design
the building, a construction company that will construct the music
hall, and chooses other suppliers who will provide goods and
services necessary to the planning and development of a unique
structure. One of the contracts that Mozart enters into is with an
artist, Paige Presley, who is commissioned to produce an artistic
work for the main lobby of the music hall. Presley is to be paid
the sum of $50 000 for the work, and Mozart stipulates that the
work is to be in any medium, but it must be permanently affixed to
the north wall of the lobby, and must be of a size no less than 10
metres by 15 metres. The artist and the corporation enter into a
written contract whereby the artist agrees to create the artistic
work, warrants that it is her original work, and transfers the work
to Mozart Holdings Ltd., in consideration of payment of the
agreed‐upon contract price. No mention is made of moral rights.
Presley designs and creates an artistic work that is an abstracted
representation of musicians, musical instruments and musical notes
on a scale. The work is created out of a series of more than two
hundred 30 cm by 30 cm ceramic tiles that are made by the artist by
hand and fired in her kiln in her studio. The artist and two
assistants install the work on the north wall of the lobby, in time
for the official opening of the music hall. The work is titled “The
Song of Ages.” Presley attends the official opening for the music
hall, at which many dignitaries are present. Media representatives
are present, and photographers take pictures of the lobby, the
people present, and Presley’s artistic work. At a table in the
lobby, Presley notices a brochure that solicits funds from donors,
asking them to contribute to the operation of the music hall.
Donors are promised various “gifts” for donations at different
levels of giving, ranging from music CDs for donations of $50 to
$100, up to the “benefactor” level. Those who make a donation at
the benefactor level will have their name inscribed in one of the
tiles that form the work “The Song of Ages.”
Presley is incensed and embarrassed that her art would be defaced
in this fashion. She considers commencing a court action, seeking
an injunction. Evaluate the situation and advise what chances of
success she has and on what grounds?
Persley requests for support from the court so that his work will be taken from the Music Hall and not defaced. In this situation, Persley does not prevail on the grounds of contract law and job rights. We will see from the evidence that both Persley and Mozart have a legitimate and binding signed contract. The contract included all the basic elements of a fair bid, approval, respect and expertise of a contract. The contract is to have no less than 10 meters by 15 meters of work art provided by Mozart and Approved by Artist Persley to a scale.
Consideration is the sum of $50 000 for the work so that after handing over the work to Mozart we will see the work art if original then Possession would be of Mozart not Persley. There's no risk of discrimination in this situation because Persley doesn't have the right to the job craft. She just should 't her check. Unless she gets an order from the judge, she will certainly lose because she has signed a legal deal and the court won't probably permit the warrant which will be infringed.
