LawPlease ASAP anted to purchase a car. He found a 1988 Volvo station-wagon and decided David w that it would be perfect. David rang the number in the advertisement and spoke to Sarah, the Volvo's owner. Consider the following separate and unrelated scenarios: (a) After some negotiations, Sarah offers to sell David the car for $14,500 and says she will keep her offer open for the next 30 minutes. Five minutes later, while David was considering the offer, Sarah receives a call from Angelo who offers $15,500 for the car. She immediately accepts Angelo's offer. David calls a few minutes later (within the 30-minute limit] and he informs Sarah that he accepts the offer, wants the car and will sue her for breach of contract. After some negotiations, Sarah offers to sell David the car for $14,500. In response, David says "I need some time to think about it. I'll call you back soon." David calls back and offers Sarah $14,000 for the car. Sarah says it is not enough. David then says "Ok. I was just seeing if I could knock you down a bit. I'll take it for $14,500. Sarah says, "No, you won't, you creep" and refuses to sell. Advise David whether he has a contract with Sarah. After some negotiations, Sarah offers to sell David the car for $14,500. David hesitates and says he will contact her by 5.00pm Friday. She agrees to keep the offer open until that time. At 4.00pm on Friday, David sends an email accepting the offer. Sarah does not open her emails until the following morning and it is only then that she sees David's acceptance. Unfortunately she sold the car the previous day at 6.00pm. Advise David. [b) (c)
Explanation / Answer
1. law gives some previllages to the parties involved in contracts or transactions. in the given example David and Sarah were agreed to exchange something each other. but they do not follow the procedure as per law, all their tasks and activities most casual in nature. there are no agreements, there are no contracts or nothing else between these two. they exchanged talks for a long time, and both do not trust each other. hence sarah sold her car without concerning the proposal of david, there is nothing to do with this. if david really wants to buy the car, he would make an agreement with sarah, which does not appear in this example. hence, david can not calim it legally and nothing to do here.
2. yes, Michale definitely gets share from the total gift without any doubt. to draw the name, first they must participate in the race. it is happened because of both parties agrees to participate in the race and agreed to share what ever they gain or loss. the gift money also should be shared with the proportions only. so, michale can sue it in the court of law and claim his part.
