Question

Kay, an art collector, promised Hammer, an art student, that if Hammer could obtain certain rare artifacts within two weeks, Kay would pay for Hammer's postgraduate education. At consumable effort and expense. Hammer obtained the specified artifacts within the two-week period. When Hammer requested payment, Kay refused. Kay claimed that there was no consideration for the promise. Hammer would prevail against Kay based on: a. Unilateral contract b. Unjust enrichment c. Public policy d. Quasi contract

Explanation / Answer

The answer is unilateral contract

Explaination :

In a unilateral, or onesided, contract, one party, known as the offeror, makes a promise in exchange for an act (orabstention from acting) by another party, known as the offeree. If the offeree acts on the offeror's promise, the offeror islegally obligated to fulfill the contract, but an offeree cannot be forced to act (or not act), because no return promise hasbeen made to the offeror. After an offeree has performed, only one enforceable promise exists, that of the offeror.
