Past Papers & Questions

1. There is in my view a real danger that if a general principle of good faith were established it would be invoked as often to undermine as to support the terms in which the parties have reached agreement’, per LJ Moore-Bick in MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co v Cottonex Anstalt [2016] EWCA Civ 789, at [45]. Critically discuss

2. ‘The foundation of consideration is unconscionability and promissory/proprietary estoppel is the best example of this. It would be better to just call the beast by its name and allow the courts to assess whether the deal was unconscionable or not.’ Critically discuss.

3. “The English courts’ approach to the doctrine of consideration is artificial since it has very little to do with the parties’ agreement. A change in the law is imperative to ensure clarity in the law and to stop a slavish adherence to the neo-classical theory of contract law.” Critically discuss.

4. To what extent is “business common sense” the fundamental approach of the courts in resolving ambiguities and ascertaining the meaning of contractual terms and statements?

5. Critically discuss the impact of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 on the regulation of ‘unfair terms’ in contracts.

The University of Retexe owns a painting titled ‘the scales out of balance’ which was given to it by a grateful graduate in 1955. The University has decided that nobody really looks at the piece and therefore wants to sell it. They contact a former student, Stefan, by letter:

‘We are considering selling the painting you knew and loved when you were a student here, ‘the scales out of balance’, as long as you are willing to pay £2m for it. The sale must be within the next two months. As you will remember it was included in the BBC television series ‘the art of Hogarth’ and they considered it to be one of his best pieces. Would you be interested in purchasing this Hogarth?’

Stefan immediately replies that the gallery he owns would be happy to pay that price for the Hogarth.

The University does not reply but the accountant removes the Hogarth from the list of art pieces to be insured. Shortly after Stefan succeeds in selling the painting on to an American art gallery for £5m. He contacts the University and leaves a message:

‘I hope you don’t mind but I have managed to sell the painting to a fantastic gallery.’ A few days later the university representative, Tammy, calls Stefan back and comments that she is glad they have found a good home for the painting and asks when Stefan would like the painting to be delivered.

Stefan is about to call back when he finds out from another dealer that the Hogarth, due to the time when it was donated, must have been a forgery. The discovery was made by accident last week when a gallery moved other Hogarths to a new building.

Advise Stefan, who does not want the painting anymore.

Ugo, an architect, earns a little extra money as a self-employed author of fiction. He has previously used an accountant in his town who has recently retired.

For this year’s tax return, due in January 2018, Ugo decides to use Valentina’s online tax return service. The website offers ‘a complete preparation and filing service for your income tax’. The website offers ‘complete peace of mind’. The first page of the website asks for the income. The page states that the customer ‘must submit all statements by post’ and, provided that she pays the £200 fee, they will then send her the completed tax return back.

On the very first page of the website there is a button titled ‘what we promise’. If the customer clicks on this it takes the customer to another website with terms and conditions, which include the following:

What we promise: We undertake to calculate the tax you must pay from the figures you give us when you tell us your income. We take no responsibility for checking that you have entered the amounts correctly
Liability. We are not responsible for any penalty imposed on you because your income is incorrectly stated; or because your return is not submitted on time unless we are shown to have acted intentionally or with gross negligence.

This button only appears on the first page. Ugo does not see or read the terms and conditions before sending in the requested information. Ugo does not notice that he has entered the amount he has earned as £2,500 rather than £25,000. The correct amount is clearly visible from the statements but Valentina does not notice the mistake. She sends the tax return back to Ugo, who signs it without checking.

The tax authorities notice the mistake and fine Ugo a total of £500.

Advise Ugo of any rights he may have against Valentina.

Trista and Kevin have been business partners of a local garage since 2010 valued at about £200,000, with Trista owning a 25% share in the business (worth approximately £50,000). In March 2015, Trista approached Kevin about the possibility of buying her out of the business to enable Trista sort out her own personal problems. When Kevin refused, Trista threatened to do such shoddy work at the garage that the business would lose clients and eventually become financially unviable.

Initially, Kevin refused Trista’s proposal and told her that, while sympathetic with her plight, he just did not have access to the necessary funds. During the next several months, Trista did as she threatened and her work was so slow and sloppy that the business began to lose customers.

Fearing that he would lose the business completely, Kevin approached his new husband, Gamu, about the possibly of putting up their jointly-owned £100,000 home as security on a £50,000 bank loan, so that Kevin could buy Trista out of the business. Kevin told Gamu that he felt he had no choice but to get the loan if his business were to survive. Gamu agreed and signed the necessary documents at the bank in the presence of Kevin. Kevin, in turn, entered into contract with Trista in October 2015 to buy her out of the business for £50,000.

By February 2016, as a result of the damage to the business’ reputation after Trista’s behaviour, Kevin had lost customers and was struggling to pay his bills, including the payments on the bank loan. In May 2016, Kevin was informed that the bank now intended to take possession of his and Gamu’s house.

Advise Kevin and Gamu on whether they have any rights against Trista and the bank.

Phoebe, who won £1 million from a lottery, decided to take her parents, Monica and Chandler, and her best friends, Jahangir and Ramona, on “luxury cruising” to thank them for being there for her. Phoebe remembered seeing the following Facebook advertisement by Superb Ltd:

“Get the experience of a lifetime via our two weeks cruise; Our luxury ship will be stopping at exotic places; Enjoy five-star hotels; Fine dining all the time; Our crew and passengers are special and the nicest; £1000 per person; Discounts for groups of five or more.”

Phoebe phoned Superb’s office and asked whether “that Facebook deal is still on” and got a confirmation. She later went to Superb’s office and signed a contract after paying a discounted price of £4000 for five persons.

Phoebe, her parents and her friends left the ship after two days due to the following facts:

The ship, Konkordium, was an ugly-looking converted fishing boat lacking some basic facilities normally seen in cruise ships. Konkordium was only going round the southeast coast of England.
Fine dining was not available on Konkordium and passengers were often given sandwiches. The food made Phoebe’s parents quite ill and Phoebe, Jahangir and Ramona suffered varying levels of discomfort from the food.
Konkordium’s crew were swearing and shouting at passengers at will. One pushed Jahangir for no reason.
Other passengers on Konkordium were groups of students who were always drunk, swearing, shouting and playing loud music. Some students whistled whenever they saw Ramona. The students paid £100 per person and £80 for groups of five.

Advise Phoebe, Monica, Chandler, Jahangir and Ramona on whether they have any legal claims in contract law.

Tara wanted to extend her house. Accordingly she engaged an architect to draw up some plans. Subsequently she placed a notice in her local newspaper requesting tenders in respect of the work to be undertaken. The notice stated that the deadline for the submission of tenders was noon on 4 March and the contract would be awarded to the person submitting the lowest tender. The notice also stated that further details, including plans, could be obtained from Tara at an address provided but did not state the method for submitting tenders.

Eoin, Belinda, Siobhan and David all requested further information and subsequently submitted tenders. Eoin submitted a tender of £20,000 by e-mail. Belinda submitted a tender of £15,000 by post. Siobhan submitted a tender of “£100 lower than any other tender received” by post. David submitted a tender of £10,000 by e-mail. Tara decided not to accept David’s tender as she had heard worrying rumours about the standard of David’s work. Instead she decided to accept Siobhan’s tender. David and Belinda are very angry about this and are threatening legal action. Moreover it appears that Tara did not consider Eoin’s tender at all as there was a problem with her computer server.

Advise the parties.

Contract Law Case Study Problem Questions and Answers

Task: Richard has a specialist car dealership. He buys old cars, refurbishes them and then sells them. He also hires out cars.

Richard is restoring an old jeep. It requires a special type of shock-absorber to enable it to travel over rough ground. Richard phones Shocks Are Us. He says to Emma, the manager: “I need four shock absorbers which can be used for off-road driving” Emma consults a brochure published by the shock absorber manufacturer and “Says the D200 shock absorber can be used for off-road driving.”. Richard then agrees to buy four D200 shock absorbers for $ 120 each. When he installs them on the jeep and takes it for a test drive over rough country, the shock absorbers give way and the jeep crashes down, causing $ 2 000 worth of damage to its body. It turns out that when Emma gave Richard the information over the phone, she had been looking at the wrong page of the brochure. Had she looked at the correct page, she would have seen that the D200 is not suitable for off-road driving.

Richard operates his business from a premises which he has leased from George for $ 5 000 per month since January 2016. The lease specifies that the rent is to be paid to George every six months and that it will increase every year by 10%. Richard pays George $ 30 000 in June 2016 and December 2016, but then tells George that he is having financial difficulties and needs every dollar he can to buy equipment. George says “OK, I will let you off paying the increase this year”. Richard is pleased with this, and uses the money he would have had to spend on the rent increase to buy new tools. In June 2017, Richard pays $ 30 000 to George, but George contacts him demanding an additional $ 3 000. When Richard refers to their earlier conversation, George says “Whatever I said, the lease you signed specifies that the rent will go up by 10% each year”.

Tom is a collector of vintage cars. He sees that Richard has a 1979 Mercedes 450SEL for sale on his website, priced at $ 20 000. Tom sends Richard an email saying “I offer to buy the 1979 Mercedes 450SEL for $ 18 500”. Richard sends an email back saying “Sorry, that is not enough, but I will sell it to you for $ 19 000”. Tom sends an email back saying “No, I can’t pay that”. Richard then sends an email saying “OK, I accept your original offer of $ 18 500”, but when he brings the car to Tom’s house, Tom refuses to accept it or to pay the money.

When Richard goes on holiday, Martin looks after his car lot. Martin doesn’t have a car. However, a friend of Martin’s is about to visit town and he wants to be able to drive her around. Martin goes to Richard and says “Can I hire one of your cars?” Richard says “The usual price is $ 50 per day, but because you looked after my car lot in August, you can hire it at no cost. You can pick it up on Monday”. Martin is very pleased and readily agrees, but when he comes to pick up the car, Richard says that he has hired it out to a customer. Martin says that Richard has breached their agreement.

Advise Richard of his legal position in relation to each of these four scenarios. You should assume that all facts given would be provable if the matters came to court. You should also assume that when any of the people mentioned conduct business, they do so as sole traders, not through corporations.

A. Issue Issue 1: Richard bought 4 shock absorbers adapted for off road driving for his jeep paying $480 on the suggestion of Emma, the manger of Shocks Are Us. However, when he went for a test drive the shock absorber failed and the car crashed. The damages amounted to $2000. Now, the question is who is liable to bear the loss. Moreover another issue is whether Richard is liable to get any compensation or not.

Issue 2: Richard has been paying a rent of $5000 per month to George as rent for using his premises. The rent is supposed to increase 10% at the end of every six months. However Richard confesses in June that he would not be able to pay the increment due to obscurities in his business, George allowed him the wave off. However, in June 2017, George rang up and demanded extra 4300 from Richard. He disagreed to confirm to any verbal contracts and stated that the specifications of the lease paper would hold. This may be considered a breach of contract.

Issue 3: In the third case Tom’s initial offer of $18500 is discarded by Richard initially. In turn he demands $19000. However when Tom confesses that he is unable to pay the amount, Richard agrees to accept his previous offer. Accordingly, he brings the car to Tom’s place. However, at that time Tom does not accept the car and refuses to pay any amount.

Issue 4: Since Martin looked after Richard’s car lot in august, Richard allowed him to borrow a car without paying. However, when martin goes to pick up the car, Richard says that it has gone on hire. Martin considers this a breach of contract 1 .

B. Laws As per the contracts Act 1999 (section 18A) and the Sale OF Goods Act 1979 (section 14) word of mouth may be considered as a contract. Breach of the contract is equally punishable like breach of written contract. As evident from the Air Studios (Lyndhurst) Limited T/A Entertainment Group v Lombard North Central PLC (2012), the loss amount is liable to be paid by the Shocks on Us company. As per the oral modification clause of the Word of mouth Law, Richard is liable to receive the compensation amount if he is able to substantiate his loss amount via written documents 2 .

Again, in the second case a reference from the Thomas KELLOGG v. Cindy SHUSHEREBA (2013) case may be considered. Oren was forced to pay the alleged amount in that case. By the standards of the case Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (Section 18), Richard is liable to pay the extra $3000 if the house owner George approaches the court and disagrees any wave off agreement. However, in case if Richard can produce any witness of the verbal assurance of George, the payable amount for him may lessen 3 .

Thirdly the example of the Uber v Aslam case may be cited. The appeal of the Uber drivers did not stand in front of the employment tribunal. As per this case, the issue of not accepting the pre-booked product may be considered. The issue is that Tom did not sign any purchase clause with Richard. As per the Product liability and safety law it is essential to seal a contract with a buyer at the confirmation of the purchase. Since, this was not done; the court is more likely to reject Richard’s appeal if he rings the court 4 .

In order to shed light upon the final case the Bolton v Mahadeva [1972] case may be considered. The appellant, in this case, received the contracted value minus the cost of defects. Similarly, in this case, Martin may also appeal that Richard has not kept his words. However, considering the frivolity of the case, the judge may ask the accused and the appellants to solve the dispute among them.

C. Application In the first case the Contracts Law 1999 and the Sale of Goods act 1979 may be used. As per the section 3 of the Contracts law 1999, the promissory may save her in this case. However, according to the Section 2 of the Contract Law 1999, the third party that is Richard may apply that the liability of this loss lies entirely with the manager Emma. The section 5 and the section 8 of the law may also be applicable. In that case the manager has higher chances of winning this case 6 .

In the second case, as per the Article 3A of the Landlord and Tenant act 1985, Richard should have given a written notice at least to the house owner stating his financial problem. Since no evidence can be produced in favour of the verbal rent waving, the decision of the court is likely to go in the favour of the landowner 7 . Thirdly in the case of Tom’s not accepting the act or paying for it, the word of mouth that he had given will not be considered as unconditional assent as per the Contract Law of UK 8 . In this situation, the liability of bringing the car at the doorstep of Tom will completely rest with Richard. Finally, in the case of Martin, the verbal offer may also be accepted as a kind of Contract for consumer credit by the judge. In case if Martin appeals to the court, the verbal contract of Richard with Martin may gain ground. However, since this is s petty case, the court may suggest the mitigation of the case by mutual contract 9 .

D. Conclusion This project highlights four issues which come under various law acts under the jurisdictions of the British court. As such, the law acts that are applicable to this case have been highlighted and verdicts of other similar court cases have been analysed also. Under this circumstance, the primary laws that have been applicable are the English Contracts Law, the Sale of Goods Law and the Consumer Protection laws. The possible scenario if these issues were converted to court cases has been discussed in detail.
