Question

I'm working on a business law case study and need a sample draft to help me learn. I need a relevant case study that can be applied to this scenario. 

Adam is a recent graduate from university and is an avid gamer. He has decided, very recently,

that he is keen to get into the game development business.

On Wednesday, he calls a novelist acquaintance and says, “Hey Charlie, I’m looking for someone to write the plot for a game. I’m willing to pay up to $400 for something that I like.” Charlie is excited, this is the opportunity he had been waiting for, and says, “Adam, I’ll be happy to do 2 something professional for you for $400.” Without waiting for a response, Charlie puts down the phone and rushes out a professional plot for Adam. On Wednesday, Charlie emails Adam the plot. Adam doesn’t like it, as it focuses too much on historical fiction, whereas he was thinking of something more in the fantasy realm. Adam sends back an apologetic email, to which Charlie replies, in all caps, “YOU SHOULDN’T QUESTION WHAT I’VE DONE SO PROFESSIONALLY. PAY UP BRO.”

Identify the relevant issues relating to offer and acceptance, and give your advice to the Adam on whether a valid contract is made vis-à-vis Charlie. Quote a relevant case study and elaborate on it.
