A Level Law (Contract) Assignment 3 - Legal Intent

 

Task

You will be set one of the following questions:

 

1. Logan invites two friends, Maurice and Nesta, to his house for the evening, on the basis that he will provide the drinks if they bring the food. The friends arrive, but do not bring any food. Logan has provided plenty to drink and is disappointed, so decides to buy some food instead.

The friends see an advertisement for fast delivery of burgers, with 'free dessert with each burger meal'. Logan orders three burger meals, but when he pays the delivery girl he is told that they are not giving free desserts any more because they are busy.

Logan produces a football pools competition form for the three friends to complete and enter together. They do so, each paying towards the entry fee and agreeing to share any money which they may win.

The friends prove to be lucky, and find a week later that they have won £1500 on the football pools entry. However, the football pools organisers are refusing to pay out at all this week due to low funds.

Advise Logan regarding the supply of food for the party, the free desserts and the winnings from the football pools competition.

3. Three friends, Carrie, Dirk and Elise, enjoy entering competitions so every weekend they spend an evening together doing crosswords. They enter their solution to one particular crossword into a competition, agreeing to share equally any prize money which they may win. As additional entertainment they enter a football pools competition, each paying one pound, again intending to share anything which they win.

To round off these social evenings the three friends eat together. This week they see an advertisement which reads: 'Free with each delicious extra large pizza, one bowl of fresh crunchy salad.' They order a pizza but when it arrives there is no salad and the delivery girl says that they only include these salads when they are not too busy.

One week later the friends are particularly lucky, winning £60 in the crossword competition and £900 in the football pools. Carrie claims that the whole of the £60 should really belong to her as she solved most of this particular crossword. To add to their problems, the football pools company informs them that it is suspending payments and will not be handing over the £900.

Advise the three friends as to their position regarding: The salad; The crossword prize; The money won on the football pools.

5. Whilst out shopping for himself and his neighbour, Jim notices the following promotional campaign in the window of a shop called Wizelectrics, 'Any customer purchasing a model Super 99 video recorder will receive a Minilux portable television free of charge.'

Jim is tempted to treat himself to a video recorder under the promotion, but decides to go home to review his finances. On the way he delivers some shopping to his elderly neighbour, Mrs Earnest. She is grateful to Jim and promises him £15 for his recent kindness to her. However she does not pay him.

Later that week Jim, persuaded by the promotion, decides to buy a video recorder from Wizelectrics. He pays, and the shop assistant places the video recorder on the counter for him to take, apologizing that the last television has been given way that morning and that there are no more available at present.

Advise Jim regarding both the television and the money from Mrs Earnest.
