[Refusal to Pay] Business Law Teacher Allison Needed Some Yard

Question 63

Multiple Choice

[Refusal to Pay] Business law teacher Allison needed some yard work done. She told her class that she would give $50 to the first person who mowed her yard. She also entered into an agreement with Karina who agreed to trim some shrubbery for $40. Another student, Brendan, went to mow Allison's yard. Unfortunately, just as he finished mowing, a neighborhood dog bit him, and he had to go to the emergency room for a couple of stitches. Allison refused to pay Brendan because she said that he had upset the neighbors and their dog, and that he was more trouble than he was worth. Secretly, Allison was glad about the dog bite because she felt it gave her a reason not to pay. Brendan refused to pay the emergency room because he said that they did not have a binding, bilateral contract. Karina refused to trim the shrubbery because she got a better offer and claimed that she was not bound on the contract until she started the work.
-Which of the following is true regarding Brendan's statement that he did not have to pay the emergency room charges?


A) He is correct.
B) He is incorrect because there was a bilateral, express contract.
C) He is incorrect because there was a unilateral, express contract.
D) He is partially correct in that because a quasi-contract existed, he would have to pay; but he would only have to pay fair market value, not what the hospital requested.
E) He is incorrect because there was a binding implied contract.
