Contract Formation 2 Discussion Post 1, Capacity, Mistake & Fraud Issue
This discussion is a continuation of the story from the first Contracts Formation discussion – with additional facts!
Discussion 2
Tom, Stacey’s sole survivor and her very mature and intelligent 17 year old son, who graduated from high school early and is a Senior in College, where he has completed his business law class. He wants to continue live in the new home under construction, but wants to turn the property into a horse breeding ranch and build a 16 unit stable. He contacts Siegel who learns that Tom is about to graduate from college. As Siegel prepares the contract for Tom, he asks, “You are old enough to do this right?” Tom agrees he is a senior in college and signs an additional contract for the completion of a 16 unit stable for $65,000, due upon completion. A year later the Stable Project is completed, and Siegel asks for his final payment of $65,000. Tom never replies, and finally Siegel files suit for recovery of his $65,000.
