Question

This is my debate topic from my foundation of Business Law class. M

My group is talk about Deontology and Contract:

Suppose Allison, a house painter, and Beth, a homeowner, enter into an agreement whereby Allison will pain Beth's house in exchange for Beth's payment of $5,000 upon satisfactory completion of the paint job. In the contract, the parties agree that "satisfactory completion" is to be determined solely by Beth. Allison completes the pain job according to objective industry standards. Beth is satisfied with the pain job, but decides to tell Allison that she is not satisfied with the paint job. Beth wants to take a trip to Costa Rica, and she must pay in full for the trip in advance; she does not have enough money to pay Allison and to pay for the trip. Beth tells Allison that she will pay Allison $3,000, "since you did paint the entire house, even though I am not satisfied with how it turned out?

Follow Deontological theory to analyze Beth's approach

Team 1- Argue in support of Beth's approach

Team 2- Argue in oppositeion to Beth's approach

My team is Team 1. Could you give me some convincing reasons to support Beth's approach, which are strong enough to against another team.

Thank you very much!

Explanation / Answer

The main principle here is though Beth is satisfied with Allison's Job, she has expressed that she is unsatisfied with the job done by Allison. The contract specifically states that the "satisfactory completion" is to be determined solely by Beth. Thus even if Allison did it to the industry standards, Beth being not satisfied expressedly Allison will have to negotiate.
