Paula Plaintiff’s Really Bad Week, Part 2

Introduction

In this assignment, you’ll need to decide whether Paula Plaintiff  has any legal claims arising from another series of unfortunate  events. After reading the scenario, answer the questions that follow,  making sure to fully explain the basis of your decision.
Paula’s bad luck continues. Five days after the events detailed in  your last assignment, Paula returns to work at Capstone Corporation.  Unfortunately, she used her company e-mail to send her mom a personal  note about her injuries, despite being aware that Capstone’s company  policy prohibits use of company e-mail for personal communication.  Paula’s supervisor, Mikey Manager, discovers Paula’s violation and Paula  is reprimanded. When Paula goes home, she uses her personal computer to  post disparaging comments about her boss and Capstone Corporation on  social media. The next day, Paula is fired from her job.
After several days of bad luck, Paula believes her luck is about to  change. She finds a new job in a nearby town. Paula had been using the  bus to go to work at Capstone Corporation, but she will need to purchase  a car to commute to her new job. Fortunately, her neighbor Freddy Ford  has just purchased a new vehicle and is selling his old Mustang. Paula  meets with Freddy and agrees to purchase the Mustang for $1000. The  parties also agree that Paula will bring Freddy the money the next day  when she picks up the car. The next day, Paula calls Freddy and says, “I  have the money. I’d like to come pick up my car.” Freddy replies that  Paula is too late. He sold the car earlier in the day.
