BMI v. Minicom: Deposition File, Faculty Materials, Eleventh Edition

It’s David versus Goliath when computer giant BMI sues startup Minicom for damages when a shipment of components that BMI sent to Minicom is lost. BMI claims that Minicom bore the risk of loss; it is suing to recover for breach of contract. Minicom claims it directed BMI to obtain insurance on the shipment and that BMI’s failure to do so breached the contract, causing the loss of past and future profits.

One of NITA’s most popular cases, this well-balanced file has been updated with electronic evidence. BMI provides ample material for basic and advanced advocacy training with two witnesses for both plaintiff and defendant in the deposition version. The trial version includes one optional economics expert for each side. BMI is available as a trial file, or as deposition files with Plaintiff, Defendant, and Faculty versions, each sold separately.

New to the Revised 11th Edition:

• Updated exhibits to correct dates and eliminate confusion

• A case file that can be used both for deposition practice and for mock trials
• A time-tested case file that has been updated to include electronic exhibits
