1. Gray owed Brown $600 on an old debt. Gray refused to pay the debt several times, claiming lack of funds each time. Brown finally attempted to collect the debt at a time when Brown knew Gray had sufficient money. Gray offered to pay $400 and give Brown a worst watch worth about $30 if Brown would consider the debt paid in full. Brown accepted. Later Brown brought an action for the remainder of the debt. Can brown get it ? why or why not?

2. Black, an engineer, agrees to act as an expert witness for White in court case. In return, Black is to receive a $50,000 fee plus expense for the expert witness service. Is the contract lawful? Why or why not?

3. In Q1’s example, assume that Black agrees to accept $50,000 if white win, or payment for expenses only if White loses. Is the contract lawful? Why or why not?

4. Why is written contract better than oral one?

Solution

1) if the acceptance of Brown is written/ or any proof is there of acceptance than can\'t get it now.

2) yes the contract is lawful. Because this contract has been mutually executed.

3) no

4) in case of written contract there is always a solid proof that u can present anywhere if required.
