Jane Roe a resident of Dallas in Texas fell pregnant and decided to have an abortion. The Texas laws however had outlawed abortions except in cases where the life of the mother was in danger. Roe however sued the district attorney of Dallas country Henry Wade in to be allowed to proceed with the operation

Roe 's wanted to terminate her pregnancy because she was too poor to raise the child and did not have money to cross over to countries where

abortion was legal. The issue of determination before the court was how constitutional the Texas laws were in as far as prohibiting and outlawing abortion was concerned. The court ruled the case in favor of Roe arguing that the statute violated a woman 's right to privacy and the rights were interpreted broadly even to cover a woman 's choice to undergo abortion (Wardle. 1980 ) The court in reaching this decision put into consideration the provisions of the constitution. which is the supreme law of the land. The statutes contravened the rights of a woman to privacy as provided for in the constitution and thus had to be declared null and void. Roe Vs Wade is now a landmark decision and is widely used in courts in regards to abortion. The relevance of this case to business is that although it permits abortion. it has however set conditions as to who qualifies to procure an abortion. This is so because before the deciding of this case even unqualified medical practitioners would procure abortion. putting the life of the women at risk in to get money. This cause has however put regulations to prevent exploitation of women by unqualified medical practitioners

Legally speaking real property is land and its attachments. Buildings machinery together with the benefits arising from the land such as profits and interests therein are also part of the land. Dolan Vs City of Tigard was a Supreme Court case where Dolan the claimant had applied for permit to expand her store. The permit was granted by the commission of city planning on condition that Dolan would donate part of her land for public use. She however appealed this decision and the court held that there was no relationship between the permit and the state interest and was thus unconstitutional to ask Dolan to donate part of her land for public use. The business relevance of this case is the fact that it has prevented organizations from exploiting individuals where there is no relationship between a person 's rights to property and discretionary benefits
