A mechanic was rebuilding an antique car in his garage. One day, a woman complimented the mechanic’s work on the car. The mechanic told her that the car should be done within the next week and offered to sell it to her for $100,000. The woman wanted to think about it, so the mechanic told her that he would hold the car for her for a week. Two days later, the woman discovered that the mechanic had just sold the antique car to a foreign collector for $150,000. She immediately went to the mechanic’s garage and discovered that the car was still there. The woman told the mechanic that she accepted his offer to sell the car for $100,000, but the mechanic explained that he had accepted another offer and could no longer sell the car to her. The woman subsequently brought an action against the mechanic for breach of contract. Is the woman likely to succeed in her action against the mechanic?

Prior to the beginning of the season for a recreational softball league, the manager of one of the teams phoned a friend who has a shop that imprints and sells various types of clothing. The manager told the friend that he needed 20 customized jerseys in the team’s color, green, with the team’s name imprinted on the front and each player’s name on the back. The friend agreed to do so at the cost of $30 per jersey. The friend asked the manager to send her an e-mail, as a reminder of their agreement. The manager sent a signed e-mail the following day that contained the terms of the agreement, except that the manager mistakenly typed “17” rather than “20” as the number of jerseys needed. The friend imprinted 20 green jerseys with the team’s name and each player’s name, and called the manager to tell him to come pick up the jerseys. The manager informed the friend that he no longer needed the jerseys because the league had disbanded due to an inability to field enough teams. When the manager refused to pay for the jerseys, the friend sued him for $600 in damages. The manager asserted the Statute of Frauds as a defense. What amount of damages is the court likely to award the friend?

A yoga instructor, licensed through a respected program that meets the highest standards as defined by the profession, established her own studio in a building that abuts a large park. She became so popular that a waiting list to attend her class has grown. A potential student, who could not get into the instructor’s class, regularly watched the instructor’s lessons from behind a tree in the park adjacent to the studio, mimicking the instructor’s movements. The instructor knew of the potential student’s activity, and was annoyed that he was taking advantage of her classes without paying for them. During one morning class, she explained the situation to her paying students and warned them that she planned to perform silly poses directly contrary to yoga principles in hopes that the potential student would stop watching her class. She warned all of her clients not to mimic her poses. The potential student copied the instructor’s fake poses and sustained a serious back injury. He sued the instructor for negligence. Would the instructor be liable for the potential student’s injury?

A golf instructor posted an advertisement for his services in a local newspaper. The advertisement read, “Do you want to improve your golf game?  I want to help you. A lesson that normally would cost you $100 will be only $50. To get this fantastic rate, be the first at the driving range this Thursday at 8 AM with your clubs or be the first to give me a call to setup another time.” A duffer, who had heard of the instructor through a friend but had not seen the ad, called the instructor. The duffer made an appointment to meet the instructor for a lesson at the driving range on Thursday at 9 AM. The price of the lesson was not discussed, but the duffer was the only person who called the instructor about a lesson prior to Thursday afternoon. Wednesday evening the duffer saw the instructor’s ad for the first time. The duffer showed up at the driving range on Thursday at 8 AM with his clubs. No one else appeared for a lesson. The instructor gave the duffer a lesson. After the lesson, the duffer handed $50 to the instructor. The instructor stated that his fee was $100. The duffer refused to pay the additional $50. In a breach of contract action by the instructor against the duffer, which of the following would NOT be an argument that the duffer could raise in his defense?
