A company owned a large tract of land that contained coal deposits that the company intended to mine.The company acquired mining equipment and began to plan its mining operations.Just as the company was about to begin mining,Congress enacted a statute that imposed a number of new environmental regulations and land-reclamation requirements on all mining operations within the United States.The statute made the company's planned mining operations economically infeasible.As a result,the company sold the tract of land to a farmer.While the sale price allowed the company to recover its original investment in the land,it did not cover the additional cost of the mining equipment the company had purchased or the profits it had expected to earn from its mining operations on the land.In an action filed against the appropriate federal official,the company claims that the statute effected a taking of its property for which it is entitled to just compensation in an amount equal to the cost of the mining equipment it purchased and the profits it expected to earn from its mining operations on the land. 一家公司拥有一大片土地,其中包含该公司打算开采的煤炭储量。该公司购买了采矿设备,并开始规划其采矿作业。就在该公司即将开始采矿时,国会通过了一项法案,对美国境内的所有采矿作业强制实施了一系列新的环境法规和土地征用要求。该法案使该公司计划的采矿作业在经济上变得不可行。结果,该公司将这片土地出售给了位农民。尽管出售价格使该公司收回了对land.in的原始投资,但它并未覆盖该公司购买的采矿设备的额外成本,也未覆盖该公司预期从land.in采矿作业中获得的利润。在对相关联邦官员提起的诉讼中,该公司声称该法案实际上剥夺了其财产,因此它有权获得相当于其购买的采矿设备成本和预期从land.in采矿作业中赚取的利润的补偿。 Which of the following is the most appropriate result in the action? 以下哪个是诉讼中最合适的结果?

Upon the recommendation of her child's pediatrician, a mother purchased a vaporizer for her child, who had been suffering from respiratory congestion. The vaporizer consisted of a gallon-size glass jar, which held water to be heated until it became steam, and a metal heating unit into which the jar fit. The jar was covered by a plastic cap with an opening to allow the steam to escape. At the time the vaporizer was manufactured and sold, there was no safer alternative design. The booklet that accompanied the vaporizer read, "This product is safe, spillproof, and practically foolproof. It shuts off automatically when the water is gone." The booklet had a picture of a vaporizer sending steam over a baby's crib. The mother used the vaporizer whenever the child was suffering from congestion. She placed the vaporizer on the floor near the child's bed. One night, the child got out of bed to get a drink of water and tripped over the cord of the vaporizer as she crossed the room. The top of the vaporizer separated from the base, and boiling water from the jar silled on the child when the vaporizer tipped over. The child suffered serious burns as a consequence. The child's representative brought an action for damages against the manufacturer of the vaporizer. The manufacturer moved to dismiss after the representative presented the evidence above. 根据孩子儿科医生的推荐,一位母亲为她患有呼吸道充血的孩子购买了一台蒸汽机。这台蒸汽机由一个加仑大小的玻璃罐组成,罐中装有待加热直至变成蒸汽的水,以及一个金属加热单元,罐子可以放入其中。罐子上盖着一个塑料盖,盖子上有一个开口,以便蒸汽可以逃逸。在蒸汽机制造和销售时,没有比它更安全的替代设计。随蒸汽机一起出售的小册子上写着:“这个产品安全、防溢出,实际上也是防foolproof.it 的。当水用完时,它会自动关闭。”小册子上有一幅蒸汽机向婴儿床喷射蒸汽的图片。每当孩子患有充血性疾病时,这位母亲就会使用蒸汽机。她把蒸汽机放在孩子bed.one 附近的地板上。一天晚上,孩子从bed.one 下床喝水,在穿过房间时被蒸汽机的电线绊倒了。蒸汽机的顶部与底部分离,当蒸汽机翻倒时,罐中的沸水溅到了孩子身上。结果,孩子严重烧伤。孩子的代表对蒸汽机制造商提起了损害赔偿诉讼。在代表提供了上述证据后,制造商撤销了诉讼。【缺少答案,请补充】
A prosecutor presented to a federal grand jury the testimony of a witness in order to secure a defendant's indictment for theft of government property. The prosecutor did not disclose to the grand jury that the witness had been convicted four years earlier of perjury. The grand jury returned an indictment, and the defendant pleaded not guilty. Shortly thereafter, the prosecutor took the case to trial, calling the witness to testify before the jury. The prosecutor did not disclose the witness's prior perjury conviction until the defense was preparing to rest. Defense counsel immediately moved for a mistrial, which the court denied. Instead, the court allowed the defense to recall the witness for the purpose of impeaching him with this conviction, but the witness could not be located. The court then allowed the defense to introduce documentary evidence of the witness's criminal record to the jury before resting its case. The jury convicted the defendant. The defendant has moved for a new trial, arguing that the prosecutor's failure to disclose the witness's prior conviction in a timely manner violated the defendant's right to due process of law. 一名检察官向联邦大陪审团提交了一名证人的证词,以确保被告因盗窃政府财产而被起诉。检察官没有向大陪审团透露,这名证人在四年前曾因伪证罪被定罪。大陪审团驳回了起诉,被告也没有辩护。不久之后,检察官将此案提交审理,传唤证人在陪审团面前作证。直到辩方准备休庭时,检察官才透露证人先前的伪证罪定罪情况。辩护律师立即提出无效审判,但法院否决了这一提议。相反,法院允许辩方召回证人,以便以此罪名起诉他,但无法找到证人。随后,法院允许辩方在休庭前向陪审团提交证人犯罪记录的文件证据。陪审团判决被告有罪。被告已提起新的审判,辩称检察官未能及时透露证人先前的定罪情况,侵犯了被告的正当法律程序权。【缺少答案,请补充】
A woman's car was set on fire by vandals. When she submitted a claim of loss for the car to her insurance company, the insurance company refused to pay, asserting that the woman's policy had lapsed due to the nonpayment of her premium. The woman sued the insurance company for breach of contract. At trial, the woman testified that she had, in a timely manner, placed a stamped, properly addressed envelope containing the premium payment in the outgoing mailbin at her office. The woman's secretary then testified that every afternoon at closing time he takes all outgoing mail in the bin to the post office. The insurance company later called its mail clerk to testify that he opens all incoming mail and that he did not receive the woman's premium payment. The woman and the insurance company have both moved for a directed verdict. 一名女子的汽车被蓄意破坏者纵火。当她向保险公司提交汽车损失索赔时,保险公司拒绝支付,声称该女子的保险单因未支付保费而失效。该女子因违反contract.at 而起诉保险公司。在庭审中,该女子作证说,她及时将一个贴有邮票、地址正确的信封放在办公室的发件箱中,信封里装有保费支付。该女子的秘书随后作证说,每天下午关门时间,他都会将所有发件箱中的邮件送往邮局。保险公司后来传唤其邮务员作证,称他打开了所有收到的邮件,并且没有收到该女子的保费支付。该女子和保险公司都已采取直接判决。
