Last year Carol decided to open a gallery selling her artwork. She approached her sister Gemma and her friend Molly, as she knew that they were both interested in purchasing paintings for their business premises. Gemma ordered 2 paintings for her café at a total cost of £800. Molly ordered 5 paintings for her new office, which she wanted to look impressive when welcoming new clients, at a total cost of £1,000. Several months passed while Carol worked on the paintings. The final painting for Molly took slightly longer than expected, it was eventually delivered one month later than the initial date agreed. This was partly due to Carol being busier than expected, as Carol’s gallery became well-known and financially successful very quickly.

Question Which of the following statements regarding the agreement between Carol and Gemma is correct?…

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.
