Dаnny sаdly lоst his dоg, Cаllie, when it unexpectedly gоt out one day from his backyard. Danny posted an advertisement in a local newspaper that read: HELP! LOST DOG!$1,000.00 REWARD!NO QUESTIONS ASKED! [Danny’s phone number was included along with a photograph of Callie] Pete, a local friend of Danny’s, saw the advertisement and set out to find Callie. Pete let Danny know that he took the week off from work in order to look for Callie, and wouldn’t stop until she was found. Pete’s salary is $750/week. Danny expressed his gratitude for Pete’s efforts. The next day, Danny called Pete and told him not to worry about finding his dog; Danny said that if Callie wanted to come home, she would, and that he was just going to get another dog. This upset Pete who loudly told Danny that he was still going to find his dog and, whether he wanted her or not, once his dog was found, that Danny needed to pay him. A few days later, Pete found Callie and brought her to Danny, demanding the $1,000.00. Danny became enraged, telling Pete that that reward had already been cancelled. However, wanting to resolve this informally, Danny and Pete agreed on the amount of $500.00 in order to resolve their disagreement. Danny promptly paid Pete the $500.00 and reluctantly took his dog back. It turns out that Danny lost interest in having Callie returned upon finding out that she was only worth $100.00. The next week, Pete makes an appointment with you, a local attorney, to see what his rights are concerning his recent dealings with Danny. Was a legally enforceable agreement formed between them? Discuss. Assuming that a legally enforceable agreement was formed between them, was the later attempt to modify the agreement valid? Discuss. If a court should find that there is not an enforceable contract, does Pete have any equitable remedies available? Discuss. What monetary damages may Pete seek, if any? Calculate expectation, reliance, and restitution damages; assume all such types of damages are available to Pete.

Mаrgie, а merchаnt, sued a cоmpany fоr breach оf contract, alleging that the products she purchased failed to conform to contract specifications. Shortly before the trial was to begin, Margie suffered a stroke that left her paralyzed and virtually unable to communicate. Margie’s guardian was properly substituted as the plaintiff in the lawsuit. At trial, following presentation of the plaintiff’s case, the company calls as a witness a priest to question him about a conversation he had with Margie at a church fundraiser. In this conversation, Margie told the priest in confidence that the products she received were actually quite functional, but that she had become aware of a lower price being offered by another vendor, and thus wanted to get out of her contract with the company. The plaintiff’s attorney immediately objects on the basis of clergy-penitent privilege.How should the court rule on the objection?
