Free-riding is unethical and highly unfair to fellow group members.
Should any member be found not contributing to the assignment, the lecturer has the right to
change the specific group’s marks to individual marks.
Each group member is expected to keep the contact numbers and e-mail addresses of the other

The group leader has the responsibility to ensure that all group members play a part in completing
the assignment. The group leader is also responsible for ensuring that all members’ names are
written on the final submission.
It is the responsibility of each group member to ensure that the final submission is complete and
of the acceptable standard. Should any errors or omissions occurred in the final submission, each
group member is held accountable for negligence – in other words, failure to perform their
responsibilities as expected.

Assessment task – Group Work
On January 2022, Rozana received a telephone call from Alan, a truck dealer, who told Rozana
that a new model truck in which Rozana was interested would arrive in one week. Although
Alan initially wanted RM10,500, the conversation ended after Alan agreed to sell and Rozana
agreed to purchase the truck for RM10,000, with a RM1,000 down payment and the balance
on delivery. The next day, Rozana sent Alan a cheque for RM1,000, which Alan promptly
cashed.
One week later, when Rozana called Alan and inquired about the truck, Alan informed Rozana
he had several prospects looking at the truck and would not sell for less than RM10,500. The
following day Alan sent Rozana a properly executed cheque for RM1,000 with the following
notation thereon: “Return of down payment on sale of the truck.”
After notifying Alan that she will not cash the cheque, Rozana sues Alan for damages. Alan
believes that he has a right not to have a contract with Rozana and he seeks advice from his
lawyer Megat.
Megat who is Alan’s family lawyer advise him that Alan can terminate the contract at any time
he will because the truck belongs to Alan. Megat also promise that he will solve Alan’s problem
if Alan sold his plantation located in Senawang below the market price. Alan agreed and he
sign a conveyance contract without further reading the terms in the contract. One month later,
as agreed Alan does not receive any money from Megat and Alan remind Megat about the due
payment. Megat told Alan that there will be no money shall be paid to Alan because Alan
agreed to transfer the title of the land as an exchange to Megat’s services on solving Alan’s
problem with Rozana.
Alan was very shocked and upset. He told this to Anita who is his sister. Anita suggested Alan
get advice from her friend Muthu. In the meantime, Alan received a summon from Rozana.
While Alan’s wife notified Alan that the prospect named Zack informed her that he cannot
make payment immediately to Alan because his book cheque and all necessary document was
wet due to a flooded incident at his office area. Alan was frustrated because he needs the money
to pay his office utilities bills which was not paid for two months due to the pandemic covid19.
