The first issue is whether or not Enzo had a valid contract with Gina when she asked him to take possession and care of her car until she returns home from active military duty. As compensation, Gina gave Enzo the right to use the car while in his care and he agreed. It appears that in this case they did have a valid contract. There was a valid offer and acceptance by both parties. There was consideration by both parties for the benefits. The verbal contract was for a lawful purpose and both parties appeared to be adults of sound mind. With this issue of a contract, both parties seem relevant to the four elements for which Enzo will take care of Gina’s car while she is away and until she returns.
The second issue is whether or not Enzo and Gina had a legitimate contract with Time Warner Cable since Enzo would be spending most of his time at Gina’s apartment. In this case Gina and Enzo have a bilateral contract with Time Warner. A bilateral contract is when you have two parties that each makes a promise to do something. In this scenario, Gina and Enzo signed a contract that allowed them to have HD in the apartment for 12 months while they pay Time Warner $50 per month for that service. In conclusion, there is a legal binding between both parties.
The third issue is whether or not Enzo had any right to sell Gina’s car on eBay after she departed for the military. Enzo forged Gina’s signature to allow the car title to go to Mr. Buyer. After the sale, Enzo negotiated the check to Mr. Landlord for rent. After these transactions were done, Gina returned home from the military and now has filed a lawsuit against Enzo and Mr. Buyer. Mr. Buyer now wants his money back and is suing Enzo and Mr. Landlord. There are several issues with these descriptions. First of all, it is illegal for Enzo to forge Gina’s signature. It’s a void-able contract because the law permits one party to terminate the contract due to the unlawful

    The issue is whether Jane can disaffirm the contract and demand that Midtown Toyota return her $3,500. The specific issue is whether Jane made a false and fraudulent misrepresentation of her age when she entered into the contract with Midtown Toyota to purchase the vehicle. The court would likely find that Jane did not fraudulently misrepresent her age. Additionally, as a minor, Jane had no duty to read the contract she entered into with Midtown Toyota. The court would likely find that Jane did not fraudulently misrepresent her age because of the circumstances surrounding the execution of the contract and the fact that the law imposes no duty on minors to read contracts.…

    In this case study, we are looking into what constitutes a contract and when a person is obligated to honor a contract. In this scenario Carrie offered to sell a set of legal encyclopedias to Antonio for $300.00. Antonio said that he would think about her offer and let her know his decision the next day. Norvel, who had overheard the conversation between Carrie and Antonio, said to Carrie, "I accept your offer," and Carrie gave Norvel the books. The next day, Antonio, who had no idea that Carrie had already sold the books to Norvel, told Carrie that he accepted her offer. We need to determine whether or not Carrie is obligated to sell her encyclopedias to Norvel and whether or not she is breaching a contract with Antonio.…

    Antonio had chosen to think about it and told Carrie that he would let her know his decision the next day. From what I gathered from our text, Carrie had contract with Antonio, because she had made an offer to him. An offer in our text is described as a promise given to someone or some kind of commitment of an act for something in the future. There are three elements to an offer “there must be a serious, objective intention by the offeror, the terms of the offer must be reasonably certain, or definite, so that the parties and the court can ascertain the terms of the contract. The offer must be communicated to the offeree.” (Miller & Jentz) I would say that Carrie made an offer to Antonio and therefore they have a verbal contract until Antonio denies the…

    lawDarrow purchases a new car from Silver Motors. The retail installment contract states immediately above the buyer’s signature in large, bold type: “There are no warranties that extend beyond the description on the face hereof” and “There are no express warranties that accompany this sale unless expressly written in this contract.” Before purchasing the car, Darrow specifically informed Silver’s salesperson that he wanted a car that could be driven in a dusty area without needing mechanical repairs. Silver’s salesperson said to Darrow, “Nothing will go wrong with this car, but if it does, return it to us, and we will repair it without cost to you.” Neither this statement nor any similar statement appears in the retail sales contract. Darrow drives the car into a dust storm. The air filter gets plugged up, and the car engine overheats, causing motor damage. Silver Motors refuses to repair the engine under any warranty. Darrow claims that Silver is liable for breach of the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, that the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits disclaiming this implied warranty, and that the salesperson’s express warranty has also been breached. What are the merits of Darrow’s claims?…
