Question
1. Katie mows her own yard to save money. Her neighbor Jonah, however, hires a lawn service to mow his yard. One day, as Katie is looking out of the window, Jonah's lawn service drives up, and the laborers wave at her through the window. To her surprise, they begin to mow her yard, not Jonah's yard. Katie thinks that is great and keeps her mouth shut while they mow the yard. Later, she gets a bill. She calls the owner of the lawn service and says that she does not have to pay because there was not a contract in place where she agreed to have her yard mowed. The lawn service says that she is liable for the full amount of its contract. Is the lawn service entitled to any recovery from Katie? Why or why not? 2 Kendrick overhears Eric's offer to sell Greg a boat for $1,000. Greg declines the offer, but Kendrick immediately says "I accept." Is Eric obligated to sell the boat to Kendrick, and why or why not? . Jun enters into a written contract with Tessa to build her a home to be completed by December 31; for this work, he is to be paid S100,000. After the work has begun, Jun tells Tessa that he had miscalculated and that he needs to hire additional workers in order to have the home done by the due date and that she needs to pay him an extra $10,000. Tessa agrees to pay. Jun finishes the home by December 31 and sends Tessa a bill for S110,000. Tessa pays Jun $100,000, but refuses to pay the extra $10,000. If Jun sues, who will most likely win and why?Explanation / Answer
Ans. 1 : In this case, Katie is bound to pay to lawn service for mowing lawn for Katie’s yard.
The reason behind is that as per contract / agreement regulations, this is considered ss implied contract and in which there might not have been exchange of written / oral words between 2 parties, but it is expressed by act or behavior of the parties involved in contract. Hence in this case, Katie was agreed to accept services offered by lawn service provider by her behavior.
Ans. 2 : Eric is not obligated to sell boat to Kendrick as there is no mutual or written agreement beforehand between the two. If someone overhears / assumes something, is not binding to other party.
Ans. 3 : Jun will most likely win the case as there was original agreement for $ 100,000 between them and change in terms / conditions during performance of contract i.e. additional compensation was also agreed between them.
Ans. 4 : Marissa is correct in this case as she was in written agreement with Victor which was based on original conditions of product before she went for vacation. Now, at the time of delivery if product conditions are changing, Victor is bound to let Marissa know the fact bout engine, which he has not done and he did fraudulent act.
