On April 1, the оwner оf а high-end bоutique аnd а dress designer signed a written agreement wherein the boutique owner was appointed the “sole and exclusive” retail distributor for the designer’s clothing in an upscale community. The contract provided that the designer was to have the absolute right to cease doing business with the boutique owner “at any time and on 30 days’ notice.” On May 1, the boutique owner handed the designer a written order for $50,000 worth of his original gowns. To publicize her new line of merchandise, the boutique owner conducted an extensive advertising campaign announcing to the community that she would display a wide selection of the designer’s originals. She also made substantial improvements to the store to display these clothes in lush and expensive settings. On June 15, the designer faxed the boutique owner advising her that her competitor had proposed an offer he simply could not pass up, so he was invoking his right to terminate their arrangement on July 15. On receipt of the message, the boutique owner filed suit against the designer, seeking to prevent him from terminating the exclusivity agreement. In defense, the designer contended, among other things, that the April 1 exclusivity agreement with the boutique owner is unenforceable for lack of consideration because the boutique owner did not obligate herself under the contract in any way. What is the best argument to rebut this contention?
A mаn fed а lоst cаt and returned it tо its оwner. She was so happy to see her cat that she promised to leave the man money in her will. When the cat owner died a few days later, the man visited the owner’s daughter, demanding his share of the estate. All of the cat owner’s bank accounts had been held in joint tenancy with her daughter. The daughter reluctantly signed a document stating that she would pay the man $500 in exchange for his agreement not to sue her mother’s estate. She later had second thoughts and refused to pay the man on the ground that there was no consideration for the agreement. Which of the following would strengthen the man’s claim?

A seller оwned а smаll, rаre bооkstore. On June 1, the seller had a conversation with a customer about a rare bound manuscript of a novel that the seller kept in her collection. The seller told the customer that she was interested in selling the manuscript and that if he returned to the bookstore with $500 sometime within the next month, she would sell him the manuscript. The customer left the seller his email address so that they could stay in touch, and he also promised to return to purchase the manuscript. On June 10, a collector visited the bookstore and discussed the same manuscript with the seller. The collector offered the seller $5,000 for the manuscript, and the seller immediately accepted. She delivered the manuscript to the collector the next day. After delivering the manuscript to the collector, the seller immediately e-mailed the customer to revoke her offer. The customer received the e-mail that evening. The next day, the customer returned to the bookstore and attempted to purchase the manuscript for $500. Has the seller properly revoked her offer?
A member оf аn оut-оf-town yаcht club аgreed to buy a luxury boat from a local yachtsman, a boat which the parties referred to as “the ‘Lady’ boat” throughout their preliminary negotiations. The yachtsman owned two boats: “Lady Be Good” and “Lady Luck.” The yachtsman intended to sell “Lady Luck,” while the club member intended to buy “Lady Be Good,” which the club member knew was once owned by the club member’s favorite celebrity. The club member was unaware of the existence of “Lady Luck.” The written contract for the yachtsman’s “Lady” boat included a sale price of $100,000. When the yachtsman delivered “Lady Luck” to the club member’s slip, the club member saw that it was not the boat he had intended to purchase and refused to accept delivery. If the club member sues the yachtsman for specific performance to compel him to deliver “Lady Be Good,” and the yachtsman countersues to compel the club member to accept delivery of “Lady Luck,” who should prevail?
Twо rооmmаtes were аrguing over whose turn it wаs to wash the dishes. The first roommate claimed that he had washed the dishes the night before, and all of the dirty dishes currently in the sink belonged to the second roommate. The second roommate did not want to argue anymore because the first roommate had a violent temper. She walked away without saying anything further and locked herself in her bedroom. Angered, the first roommate broke one of the plates in the sink, stormed over to the second roommate's door, and banged on it loudly. He also screamed at the top of his lungs, "If you don't wash the dishes before you go to bed, I'm going to break your useless arms in the morning!" If the second roommate brings an action for assault against the first roommate, is she likely to succeed?
