Law 2101 Lecture Notes - Collateral Contract, Contract, The Home Depot
Document Summary
A goes back on their promise and says they aren"t giving b the million. Friday, and b promises to give for the book. A gets sick, and asks b if they can come on saturday instead. When a comes with the book, b says they have changed their mind and that the contract promised a would bring the book on. The contract has changed, but the promise can be enforced even though consideration has not been exchanged. It isn"t enough to have offer and acceptance as well as consideration the plaintiff also has to prove that the parties intended for there to be a contract: the parties must have intended to create legal relations. Eg. when you make a deal with your parents about doing the dishes, you can"t sue (there is a presumption there is no contract) The presumption is strongest the closer the relationship is (eg. more strong before parents and children, less strong between siblings)
