Category - Judgement

Mary is a paralegal who works for Jill. Jill is an attorney who represents clients in business and transactional matters. One of Jill’s client’s is Gigantic International. Gigantic is selling one of its smaller factories. In addition to selling the real estate and building, Gigantic is selling the factory’s machinery, but not selling any small hand tools at the factory. Mary has been assisting Jill with drafting and organizing the sale documents, which are lengthy and include several exhibits and schedules. One of the schedules attached to the main purchase agreement is a listing of personal property that is included in the sale. Gigantic has given Jill an inventory, and some of the items on the inventory need to be added to the personal property schedule. Of the following, which items should Mary NOT add to the schedule?

Industrial-grade lathe bolted to floor
Three standard hammers
Electrical transformer attached to outside of building
Five workbenches with attached vices
12” x 18” tool chest with assorted screwdrivers, wrenches, and ratchet drives
Two personal computers with software for controlling automated assembly machine
  1. The lathe, hammers, and workbenches.
  2. The hammers, transformer, and computers.
  3. The hammers and tool chest (with contents)
  4. The hammers, tool chest (with contents), and the workbenches.
Explanation
Answer: C - The hammers and tool chest (with contents). Only the hammers and the tool chest with screwdrivers, wrenches, and ratchet drives are small enough to be hand tools. The tool chest itself should also be excluded because, at 12” by 18”, it is small enough to be carried by hand.
