Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

'restitution damages cannot be mitigated by the actions of the innocent party' is the untrue state-ment out of these four. The general principle of Restitution Damages is that the innocent party is expected to be proactive in mitigating the consequences of any breach and should not allow costs to spiral out of control. See p. 124

This is the kind of contract dispute that would make Judge Judy reach for her gavel and a bottle of Pepto-Bismol!

Wait, wait, wait... John's giving Larry his car? I bet Larry's already planning to trade it in for a hot tub and a lifetime supply of avocado toast!

Whoa, hold on there! If John and Larry are both of sound mind and over 18, it's gotta be a valid contract, right? I'm going with B, no doubt about it.

Ha! I bet Larry's trying to pull a fast one on John. This sounds more like an invitation to treat than a contract. I'd go with D.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Isn't consideration an essential element of a contract? I'm leaning towards C - no consideration, so it's not a valid contract.

But what about consideration? Isn't that necessary for a contract to be valid?

I agree with France, as long as they are of sound mind and over 18, it should be a valid contract.

I think the answer is B. Both parties have consented and have the capacity to enter into a contract. That's the key requirement for a valid contract.

Agreed. Without those elements, the contract would not be enforceable.

I think it's a contract because both parties consented.
