Under one of the acts of the Parliament, enacted in 1986, every consumer has been given the right to be protected against goods and services which are hazardous to life and health. The legislation also enforces providing complete information about the product to the consumer and has given freedom to the consumer to purchase goods of his/her choice. However, in certain cases, an individual is not considered to be a consumer by the law and hence cannot seek remedies available under the law. a) Identify the legislation referred to above.
b) Identify and explain in brief the rights given to consumers in the above paragraph.
c) State the conditions under which an individual is treated as a consumer.

An employer who is considering hiring eva has asked donna, eva’s former supervisor, for a report on eva. in truth, eva’s work for donna has been only average. however, eva is donna’s friend, and donna knows that eva probably will not get the job if she says anything negative about eva, and donna knows that eva desperately needs the job. further, donna knows that if the situation were reversed, she would not want eva to mention her deficiencies. nevertheless, it has been donna’s policy to reveal the deficiencies of employees when she has been asked for references by employers, and she knows that some of eva’s faults may be bothersome to this particular employer. finally, this employer has leveled with donna in the past when donna has asked for a report on people who have worked for him. should donna reveal deficiencies in eva’s past performance? (remember to use one of the three moral theories acceptable for this test to solve this dilemma. any discussion of any personal opinion, religious perspective, or theory other than the moral theories acceptable for this test will result in a score of "0" for this question.)
