A few months ago, the Company signed a contract with Chapman who planned to hold a grand party (the said party) of 1,000 guests to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his marriage with wife Daisy. Under the contract, the Company would provide all the food for the said party which was scheduled in September this year. Chapmans best friend, Eddy, is a violinist of wide renown. He promised Chapman to perform in his anniversary party. He has ordered an expensive tuxedo for this occasion. A fashion designer, Frank, offered to Eddy his own design. Frank told Eddy that his design came from his own innovative idea and has never been offered to anybody else. Amazed by its uniqueness and based on Franks information, Eddy finally placed order with Frank to have his tuxedo made according to this offered design. After Eddy collected the tuxedo, his wife saw a picture of Prince Williams of UK in a magazine and found that the tuxedo Prince Williams wearing was of exactly the same design as his tuxedo. Upon clarification with an assistant of Frank, Eddy learnt that actually the said design has been worn by several members of the UK royal family. Eddy was so angry that he wanted to return the tuxedo to Frank and demand his money back.

(b) As to the contract for the tuxedo between Eddy and Frank, comment on whether Eddy has the right to return the tuxedo and avoid the contract. Give reasons based on legal cases and principles to support your answer.
