Under the law when a mistake has taken place when would the courts become involved? Under torts explain what is meant by an unconscionable transaction. Define the purpose of damages being awarded.
Assume an agent is given authority by the principal to sell a property. The principal only states that the agent may sell the property and the agent is given no further instructions. The agent reasonably believes that it will be necessary to perform $10,000 worth of improvements on the property in order to sell it. Therefore, the agent contracts to have these improvements made. He/she then sells the property. The principal believes that the improvements were not authorized and refuses to reimburse the agent for the expenses associated with the sale. Discuss the rights and liabilities of the principal and agent. Should the principal be forced to reimburse the agent? If the principal continues to refuse to reimburse the agent, what action may be taken by the agent? If the parties were to engage in a lawsuit, who would win? Why? If the answer depends on information not provided in the scenario, specify what further information one would need to render a firm opinion.
