Tech Auto (Plaintiff) purchased concrete from Morris Concrete (Defendant) as a foundation slab for a metal building it intended to use as a tire service shop. When Plaintiff ordered the concrete, he specified that it needed to be capable of withstanding 3,000 pounds of pressure per square inch (“PSI”), which was required for the automobile lifts Plaintiff was going to have installed. Plaintiff paid Defendant the agreed price of $30,000 for the concrete and installation. Purchase and installation of the lifts was necessary to enable Plaintiff to operate a tire shop. After being informed by a representative of the automobile-lift company that there might be a problem with the quality of the concrete, Plaintiff contacted Defendant. Defendant subsequently employed an engineering company to test the concrete. The testing results indicated that the concrete’s tolerance was well below 3,000 PSI. It was therefore useless to Plaintiff and would have to be removed and replaced with proper concrete strong enough to support the automobile lifts. The estimated removal costs of the existing concrete was $15,000, and Plaintiff would be required to pay $25,000–$30,000 for the replacement concrete. Plaintiff testified that it would take approximately 1.5 years to remove the concrete, re-excavate the area and pour the proper concrete so it could go forward with its business plan. Plaintiff sued Defendant seeking damages for breach of contract. The complaint sought damages for the cost of the concrete; its removal and replacement; and loss of profits which Plaintiff expected to receive through expansion of its business to include the sale of new tires. Defendant filed its answer with the appropriate affirmative defense to challenge Plaintiff’s lost profits claimed, and the case proceeded to trial. Plaintiff, by testimony of its owner at trial, stated that it wanted to expand its business by selling and installing new tires which it had never done. Plaintiff testified that the nearest tire stores were about 20 miles from its location; it expected to sell at least two sets of tires per day and expected to generate about $40,000 in additional gross income per year. On cross-examination, Plaintiff admitted it had no prior experience selling new tires; had not contracted with any tire company; and could not testify to the exact profit margin expected on tire sales and had not purchased the automobile lifts. No expert was called by either side. Plaintiff sought a total judgment against Defendant in the amount of $105,000. It was based upon the $30,000 it had paid Defendant for the original concrete and installation; $15,000 for its removal; and lost profits in the amount of $60,000 based on Plaintiff’s estimate of lost profits for 1.5 years. Defendant admitted its breach but objected to the proffered testimony on the grounds that Plaintiff’s claim for lost profits was not supported by any competent evidence and should be rejected by the trial court. Please identify and discuss the affirmative defense raised by Defendant and the applicable law in view of the facts and testimony provided and your opinion what damages, if any, Plaintiff is entitled to claim and receive at trial.

Abraham hired Becky, a lawyer, to represent him in a personal injury lawsuit against Dan, the driver of the car that collided with Abraham’s car, thereby causing him serious bodily injury. Abraham could not afford to pay Becky, so Becky told Abraham not to worry about paying anything until there is a recovery in the case. Becky told Abraham that if a recovery is obtained, Becky would take 55% as her attorney fee and Abraham would get the rest less any costs Becky had incurred. Abraham orally agreed to this fee arrangement. Dan’s insurance company, Standard Insurance, emailed Becky before Becky completed any substantive work on the case, and offered to settle the matter for $100,000. Becky was thrilled and replied to the email that she accepted the settlement offer. Becky then told Abraham about the settlement. Abraham was relieved that the case settled so quickly because he had accumulated hospital bills of more than $40,000. Standard Insurance delivered a check for $100,000 payable to Becky, who deposited it into her law firm’s business account. Becky then wrote a check from that account to Abraham for $45,000 [(Note: See clarification below)], minus her costs, and mailed it to him. Upon receipt of the check, Abraham complained about Becky’s fee, threatened to sue Becky for malpractice, and reported her to the State Bar. Abraham asked Becky to return $10,000 of the fee. Becky agreed to return $10,000. Abraham also told Becky that now that the case was over, he planned to go to Dan’s house and beat him within an inch of his life for all the pain and aggravation he had caused. Abraham then video-called Becky from in front of Dan’s house. Becky immediately called the police to let them know Dan was in danger. After she called the police, she took no further action. Abraham comes to you for counsel. What if any duties have Becky violated? Please discuss fully per ABA rules and California authorities.

After a long, hot summer, Misty wanted her car washed. She called her friend Brock and asked him, “Would you wash my car for $20?” Brock responded, “Yeah, probably.” Misty knew that Brock had been a no-show when she had asked him for favors before, so she sent him a text that said the following: “Per our verbal conversation, you have agreed to wash my car for $20. I would like you to wash my car on Saturday, October 3. I don’t have any car-washing equipment, so you will be responsible for supplying what you need to wash my car. If you don’t wash my car on that date, then you will owe me $20 for failing to show up.” Brock replied, “OK.” On October 2, Brock went to P-Mart and bought some car-wash supplies for $10. On October 3, he arrived at Misty’s house, opened his supplies, and was just about to start washing Misty’s car when Misty saw him and said, “Oh gosh, I’m so sorry, Brock! I saw a promotion at Squirtle’s Car Wash last week and got my car washed then and forgot to tell you. I don’t need you to wash my car today.”  Somewhat upset, Brock left Misty’s house and went back to P-Mart. Since Brock had already opened the supplies, P-Mart refused to give a refund. Brock also had to miss out on a rock concert that he had wanted to see that night. Although he had not bought any tickets, it would have cost him $50 for a ticket. Brock was upset that he couldn’t get a refund for the supplies and that he had to miss out on the concert, and he sued Misty.  Discuss: When, if at all, was a valid contract formed? Assuming there was a valid contract formed, what legal remedies, if any, can Brock recover from Misty?  Assuming there was a valid contract formed, what equitable remedies, if any, can Brock recover from Misty?
