A recreational vehicle dealer contracted with a recently retired couple to sell them a new travel trailer for $35,000 cash, the sale to be consummated after delivery to the dealer of the travel trailer, which the dealer ordered from the manufacturer specifically for the couple. The average retail markup in such sales is 20%. The signed retail contractual document was a form drafted by the dealer’s lawyer, and the couple did not question or object to any of its terms. When the travel trailer arrived from the manufacturer, the couple repudiated the contract. The dealer sold the travel trailer for $35,000 cash to another buyer, for whom the dealer had also ordered from the manufacturer a travel trailer identical to the couple’s. In an action against the couple for breach of contract, how much will the dealer recover?

The owner of a collection of old anvils lent it to the local museum and hired professional movers to transport the anvils to the second floor of the museum, where they would be displayed. The movers used a rope and pulley apparatus to lift the anvils on the outside of the building to a second-story window. While one of the largest anvils was being lifted, it slipped and fell, crashing to the ground. However, the anvil was not even dented. If the owner brings a negligence action against the movers for allowing the antique anvil to fall, what can the owner recover?

A seafood importer entered into a written agreement with a restaurant chain to sell the restaurant chain 500 pounds of prawns for a total price of $10,000. Prior to the date set for execution of the contract, the market price for prawns soared because of a natural disaster in an area where a large percentage of prawns are cultivated. The importer informed the restaurant chain that the cost of prawns had risen and requested that the contract price be adjusted to $12,000 for the 500 pounds of prawns as a result. The restaurant chain agreed orally to pay the $12,000, but no written confirmation was exchanged between the parties. Shortly thereafter, the market for prawns stabilized and prawns became available again at predisaster price levels. The importer shipped 500 pounds of prawns to the restaurant chain. On receipt, the restaurant chain sent the importer a certified check in the amount of $10,000, marking it “payment in full.” The importer did not cash the check, but telephoned the restaurant chain demanding an additional $2,000. The restaurant chain refuses to pay the additional sum. May the importer enforce its demand for an additional $2,000 in a court of law?

A college student gained weight over the course of his first semester of college. His mother was concerned for his health, so over winter break, she told him that if he joined an on-campus gym and started an exercise routine she would pay the gym’s membership fees, and that she would also pay him $100 for every pound he lost until he returned to a healthy weight. The college student agreed and said he would sign up when he returned to campus. The next day, the college student left his mother’s house to spend the remainder of his winter break at his father’s house. His father also was concerned about his son’s recent weight gain. The college student told his father of his mother’s offer. His father thought it was a great idea and told the college student that if his mother didn’t pay as promised, he would pay. The next semester the college student joined the gym and as a result of his efforts he managed to lose 30 pounds. Shortly before summer break began, the student’s mother died, and his stepfather, who was the executor of the mother’s estate, cancelled the gym membership and refused to pay the college student any money for his weight loss. When the college student told his father what had happened, his father also refused to pay, saying that the student should be satisfied with his weight loss and not concerned with the payment. If the college student brings suit against his father for breach of contract, which of the following represents his father’s best defense?

The owner of an award-winning thoroughbred racehorse sent an e-mail to a horse breeder offering to sell him the horse for $80,000 if he bought the horse before November 15. The breeder was extremely knowledgeable about horses and knew that comparable horses were being sold for $100,000. On November 1, just as the breeder was headed to his bank to get a certified check for the purchase of the horse, he received another e-mail from the owner stating that he had changed his mind and the horse was no longer for sale. The breeder got the check and drove to the owner’s stable anyway, where he saw a “horse for sale” sign nailed to the outside of the horse’s stall. The breeder located the owner behind the stable, tendered the $80,000 certified check, and demanded the horse. The owner refused. If the breeder brings an action seeking damages for breach of contract against the horse owner, what is his likely recovery?
