1- Revocation and Acceptance. On Thursday, Dennis mailed a letter to Tanya’s office offering to sell his car to her for $3,000. On Saturday, having changed his mind, Dennis sent a fax to Tanya’s office revoking his offer.
Tanya did not go to her office over the weekend and thus did not learn about the revocation until Monday morning, just a few minutes after she had mailed a letter of acceptance to Dennis. When Tanya demanded that Dennis sell his car to her as promised, Dennis claimed that no contract existed because he had revoked his offer prior to Tanya’s acceptance. Is Dennis correct? Explain.
2- Bargained-for Exchange. On Brenda Sniezek’s first day of work for the Kansas City Chiefs Football Club, she signed a document that compelled arbitration of any disputes that she might have with the Chiefs. In the document, Sniezek promised that on the arbitrator’s decision, she would release the Chiefs from any related claims. Nowhere in the document did the Chiefs agree to do anything in return for Sniezek’s promise. Was there consideration for the arbitration provision? Explain. [Sniezek v. Kansas City Chiefs Football Club, 402 S.W.3d 580 (Mo.App. W.D. 2013)]
3- . Intoxicación. After Kira had had several drinks one night, she sold Charlotte a diamond necklace worth thousands of dollars for one hundred dollars. The next day, Kira offered the one hundred dollars to Charlotte and requested the return of her necklace. Charlotte refused to accept the money or return the necklace, claiming that she and Kira had a valid contract of sale. Kira explained that she had been intoxicated at the time the bargain was made and thus the contract was voidable at her option. Was Kira correct? Explain.
