Question

Bill owned a car and Ted wanted to buy Bill's car. The two men negotiated and they decided that Bill would sell his car to Ted for $1000 and that Bill would include in the deal a spare tire and a case of motor oil. Bill wrote the contract and in the contract and in the contract he made reference to the price of the car and the motor oil but not the spare tire. Ted looked at the contract briefly and signed it. When he drove the car home and opened the trunk he saw that the spare tire was not there. He immediately started a lawsuit against Bill. At the trial, Ted stated that although the contract had said nothing about the spare tire, he and Bill had discussed it before he signed the contractand Bill promised to include the spare tire with the sale of the car. Will Ted win his lawsuit against Bill? Explain the answer in detail. Business Law

Explanation / Answer

No, there is no chance to win the lawsuit against Bill. Court needs evidences to prove, if there any talk between Bill and Ted for the deal of a spare tire. If Ted cannot provide any evidence, he cannot win the case. If he can, the case undergoes 18 U.S. Part I chapter 47 for the fraud and false statements. There is no proof for a spare tire. Therefore, no win for Ted. Moreover, it is just a spare tire; Ted should buy itself.
