Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The contract between Craig and the restaurant is valid despite Morse's lack of a license because the contract is for the purchase of goods (drinks) and services, and Craig received the goods and services as agreed. The issue of Morse's license does not invalidate the contract between Craig and the restaurant.
