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…
Using the IRAC model to answer the question. Jim and Jane got married last Sunday. The next day they travelled to Extended Stay Hotel in Miami for their honeymoon. They arrived at the Hotel, checked in and proceeded to their room. At the back of the front door in their room was a notice excluding liability, which read that “ Extended Stay will not be responsible for articles lost or stolen, unless it is logged at the front desk for safe custody.” However, this exclusion clause could only be seen after the door is closed as well as, the actual notice was small and colored in black, with a white background. Regrettably, with all the excitement of their honeymoon, both Jim and Jane did not even notice the exclusion clause at the back of the door. One day when they were out shopping, someone came into their room and stole Jim’s laptop.…

On March 3rd 2009, the Fraud Examination Team, a department of the Bureau of Fraud Examination, received a call from Anton Valukas, chairman of the Chicago law firm Jenner & Block LLP. In early 2009, a bankruptcy court in New York assigned Valukas to investigate and report on the causes of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc (LBHI)[1]’s 2008 bankruptcy. During this investigation, Valukas came across “Repo 105” and “Repo 108” transactions that Lehman used from 2001 to 2008. A “repo” or repurchase agreement is a form of short-term borrowing, whereby one party agrees to temporarily “sell” securities to another party at a specified price, while also committing to repurchase them at a future date, and at a usually higher preset price by the same buyer. While “repo” transactions are legal and are frequently used by investment banks as a means of obtaining short-term financing, Valukas stated that given the period of the fiscal year when these transactions were mostly conducted, as well as how…
