Larsen claimed that Peckham knew of the defects at the time of the purchase.

- Please provide Reaction to statement below: William refrained from certain behaviors, as requested by his uncle, in exchange for a large sum of money. Since the executor of Story's estate refused to pay William, claiming that the contract lacked consideration, there is a theory of consideration that William can rely on. William can invoke the concept of forbearance, which he did by refraining from drinking liquor, using tobacco, swearing, and playing cards or billiards for money until he reached the age of 21. This act of forbearance on his part can be considered adequate consideration for the contract. In this case, even though refraining from liquor and tobacco has been beneficial for William's health, it can still be considered a legal detriment or forbearance for the contract. Considering the facts presented, William fulfilled his uncle's requirements, and Story acknowledged that William had fulfilled his part of the bargain. Based on this, there was valid consideration for the…arrow_forwardDeborah McCullough bought a new car from Bill Swad Chrysler, Inc. The car was protected by both a limited warranty and an extended warranty. McCullough immediately encountered problems with the automobile’s brakes, transmission, and air conditioning and discovered a number of cosmetic defects as well.

After the engine abruptly shut off on a short trip away from home and the brakes again failed on a more extensive excursion, McCullough presented Swad with a list of thirty-two of the car’s defects and demanded their correction.
