Why or why not? 3. Scott requested Jenny to work with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) in further reducing the tax liability of the company believing her to be an accountant. Meanwhile, Jenny took advantage of Scott’s mistaken belief and trust and convinced him that he would reduce the company’s tax liability by 50% in exchange for a substantive number of shares in the company. Is Scott’s donation of a substantive number of the company’s shares to Jenny valid? Why or why not? 4. Niño is very much interested in buying Jasper’s business, but Jasper is not open to the idea of selling his business. Since Niño is used to getting what he wants, he threatened Jasper that he has connections with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and he can have Jasper’s business closed.
