A seller owned a two-acre tract of land, on which he built a single-family residence. The seller entered into a contract to sell the land to a buyer for $200,000. One week before closing, the buyer had a survey of the property conducted. It revealed that a portion of the seller’s house was 5.98 feet from the sideline. The applicable zoning ordinance requires a six-foot sideline setback. The buyer refused to go ahead with the purchase of the land on the ground that the seller’s title was not marketable.  If the seller brings suit against the buyer for specific performance, will he prevail?

A buyer entered into a contract with a seller to buy a parcel of land for $40,000. Although the buyer was expecting to receive a large inheritance in a few weeks, he had very limited funds on hand and was able to personally finance only $10,000. To cover the remaining balance, the buyer obtained a loan from the seller for $30,000, giving the seller a nonnegotiable promissory note in that amount secured by a mortgage on the land and orally promising to pay the seller in full when he received his inheritance money. A few weeks later, the seller transferred possession of the mortgage note to an investor for $25,000 without informing the buyer. The next day, the seller received a check from the buyer in the amount of $30,000. A few days later, the seller left the country with the $65,000 she had made on the sale of the land.  Which of the following correctly states the investor’s rights against the buyer?

A student and her boyfriend were going away to college and had quite a few personal belongings to transport. The student drove in her car while her father and her boyfriend rode in the father’s van. About halfway to the college, while the van and the car were driving down the freeway, the van suddenly swerved out of control and ran off the highway, ending up on its side in the center divider. When the student ran to the van, she discovered to her horror that her father was dead, and her boyfriend appeared to be injured, but not severely. Because her father previously had heart trouble, the student assumed that he had had a heart attack while driving. Filled with remorse, the student told her boyfriend, “I’m so sorry about this. I’ll make good any losses you suffer because of this accident.” The boyfriend learned that he had suffered an injury to his spinal column that would prevent him from ever playing basketball again. He had been a scholarship athlete in basketball at the college and was considered to be a certain high draft selection for a professional basketball league when he graduated. The boyfriend brought an action against the student for several million dollars in damages. A subsequent investigation revealed that the accident was caused solely by a defect in the steering mechanism of the van.  Which of the following is the best defense the student could assert against her boyfriend’s claim?

On December 6, the owner of an electronics store sent a written request to a computer manufacturer asking for the price of a certain laptop computer. The manufacturer sent a written reply with a catalog listing the prices and descriptions of all of his available computers. The letter stated that the terms of sale were cash within 30 days of delivery. On December 14, by return letter, the store owner ordered the computer, enclosing a check for $4,000, the listed price. Immediately on receipt of the order and check, the manufacturer informed the store owner that there had been a pricing mistake in the catalog, which should have quoted the price as $4,300 for that computer. The store owner refused to pay the additional $300, arguing that his order of December 14 in which the $4,000 check was enclosed was a proper acceptance of the manufacturer’s offer.  In a suit for damages, will the manufacturer prevail?
