When she talks to Fiona, festival manager, to lease her stall in 2018, the price is the same as previous years. Mary assumes the terms are also the same.

Mary is unhappy when she later discovers that the stall space is only 2x2metres.* Advise Mary (10 marks) Support your advice by reference to legislation and cases.-Explanation / Answer
