A man named Bob Smith believes that he is Santa Claus (who delivers presents to all the children around the world on Christmas Eve). In fact, he is not Santa, but he has believed this for many years. He signs his name "Santa." He signs many contracts as "Santa," and he refers to his wife as "Mrs. Claus" even though her name is actually Betty Smith. She puts up with it, because he really does believe he is Santa, and because she loves him and because his wages from his job at Hasbro toys pays the bills. One day he enters a contract with your company to hire you to build him a gigantic workshop in his backyard so he can build his toys and stable his "eight tiny reindeer." In return he will pay you $120,000 for the construction. When his wife learns of this deal, she tries to reject it because it is voidable due to his lack of contractual capacity. Was this contract voidable, or valid and enforceable? Answer the questions.

Ramona Smith spilled orange juice on her computer two days before her term paper was due. Ramona desperately needed a new laptop, so she went online and found a laptop that fit her needs. She emailed the seller, Effie Frost, expressing her desire to purchase the laptop. Effie ernailed Ramona back and said that she (Effie) would sell Effie's laptop to Ramona for $300. An hour later, Ramona and Effie signed the following agreement: "1, Effie Frost, agree to sell my laptop computer to Ramona Smith for Four Hundred Dollars and zero cents. This is the entirety of the agreement. This agreement supersedes any and all other agreements made by the seller and the buyer." Ramona now claims that she should only pay $300 for the laptop because during that initial email exchange with Effie, Effie told Ramona that $300 was the price of the laptop, and she has the email exchange as evidence of the price quote of $300. What legal concept could be used to enforce the contract for $400? O Condition…

Please provide reaction on discussion below if you agree or disagree: 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…
