CH. 13 - Undue Influence. Jerome is an elderly man who lives with his nephew, Philip. Jerome is totally dependent on Philip's support.

Jerome enters into the contract. Discuss fully whether Jerome can set aside this contract.

CH. 14 - Collateral Promises. Gemma promises a local hardware store that she will pay for a lawn mower that her brother is purchasing on credit if the brother fails to pay the debt. Must this promise be in writing to be enforceable? Why or why not?

CH. 15 - Delegation. Inez has a specific set of plans to build a sailboat. The plans are detailed in nature, and any boat builder can build the boat. Inez secures bids, and the low bid is made by the Whale of a Boat Corp. Inez contracts with Whale to build the boat for $4,000. Whale then receives unexpected business from elsewhere. To meet the delivery date in the contract with Inez, Whale delegates its obligation to build the boat, without Inez's consent, to Quick Brothers, a reputable boat builder. When the boat is ready for delivery, Inez learns of the delegation and refuses to accept delivery, even though the boat is built to specifications. Discuss fully whether Inez is obligated to accept and pay for the boat. Would your answer be any different if Inez had not had a specific set of plans but had instead contracted with Whale to design and build a sailboat for $4,000? Explain.
