A Missouri corporation, Contract Freighters Inc. (CFI) and a Georgia corporation, J.B. Hunt Transport Inc. are trucking companies. On March 5th, they entered into a written contract in which Hunt agreed to purchase CFI’s terminal facility for $2,625,000. Paragraph 6 stated that Hunt was allowed to conduct an environmental audit. It also states that if Hunt found anything that would be hazardous, CFI would fix the issue in accordance with the federal, state, and local governmental directives or CFI would terminate the contract and refund any portion that had already been paid. One important note: Paragraph 5 provided that Hunt’s obligation to purchase the property was conditioned upon CFI’s “pre-closing action”. In paragraph 11, the original closing date was June 1, 1997, but was extended, in agreement with both parties, to September 30, 1997.

Question 4. 4. (TCO 4) Sandy mails a letter back to Andrea that she has signed; the letter makes reference to a car Andrea has for sale and Andrea’s desired price. When Andrea later delivers the car to Sandy, Sandy returns the car, claiming she does not want the car and that they did not have a contract, so she is not bound to keep the car. Andrea, however, claims they do have a contract and wants to enforce said contract for the price of the car. What standard would the court use to determine whether there is a contract between the parties for the sale of the car? (Points : 25)

In the case of Nichols vs United States, Nichols is a convicted sex offender. Federal law states, “A sex offender shall, not later than 3 business days after each change of name, residence, employment, or student status, appear in person at least 1 jurisdiction involved pursuant to subsection (a) and inform that jurisdiction of all changes in the information required for that offender in the sex offender registry.”

Regarding this case in particular, I would have to agree with the dealership owner, Al Green. Since Hughes already entered into an agreement to buy the Lincoln Continental and took immediate possession of the vehicle, she is now responsible for the car.

15b. Sven would be entitled to judgment if he proved Brent made a down payment of $200. This is because it meets the Statute of Frauds exception of partial performance. Under UCC, an oral contract for goods priced at $500 or more is enforceable to the extent that the seller accepts payment or the buyer accepts the delivery of goods. Because the seller, Sven, accepted partial payment for the 8 used air conditioners of $200, the contract is enforceable to the extent of what took

Inside the car, she’s sat across the backseats on her knees, behind her Asteria notices how spacious it is and she presumes it’s used for storage. Sitting up on her knees, she surveys the back of the car. There’s a large grey cover over the section, she grabs it with both her hands, and it’s an awkward size yet she manages to turn around with it in her grip. Her eyes scan the car for somewhere to place it and she decides on positioning it across the front seats. Due to the angle of the car she knows she won’t go into that section anyway.

The first issue is whether or not Enzo had a valid contract with Gina when she asked him to take possession and care of her car until she returns home from active military duty. As compensation, Gina gave Enzo the right to use the car while in his care and he agreed. It appears that in this case they did have a valid contract. There was a valid offer and acceptance by both parties. There was consideration by both parties for the benefits. The verbal contract was for a lawful purpose and both parties appeared to be adults of sound mind. With this issue of a contract, both parties seem relevant to the four elements for which Enzo will take care of Gina’s car while she is away and until she returns.
